This is bold and won't happen but hang with me.

Spurs get Horford, Hill, Muscala

Rockets get Aldridge, Ariza

OKC gets Wall, Gordon, Lyles, Walker, 2021 protected Detroit first, protections removed from Rockets pick 2021

Ok. Horford to the Spurs makes sense in that he's currently better than Aldridge, and he's fantastic in the locker room. Spurs have a lot of young guys and getting three vets to help foster that talent makes sense. Hill is a former spur. All three feel like Spurs guys.

Rockets are in a rough spot. This could be a deal that helps them reset the franchise. A rip the bandaid off kind of move. They bring in all expiring money and offload two long term deals that aren't working. They will lose their pick this year along with another first (via Detroit in the future), but it would be worth it. Getting Aldridge might even put them closer to the middle so they don't lose a top 5 pick anyways.

OKC are set to have an insane amount of cap room in the next couple seasons. Even with the SGA max coming, they can afford a few years of bad contracts. They swallow Wall and Gordon at another couple shots in the draft. Wall and Gordon can eventually be flipped OR be role players to the young guys in 2-4 years. Wall and Gordon can rehab the rest of the year and help the tank as well.

Thoughts?

Bold? Yepp. Happening? Probably not. But I like the concept anyway

Why would the Rockets do this as a rebuilding team. They should be doing what OKC has done the past few years and start collecting picks not giving them away.
Horfords contract is brutal and I doubt Spurs want to take him own as I could see them move towards a rebuild of their own.
Somehow all OKC fans think every other team is out to help them.

Websjac, not all Okc fans think like that.
Churchpugh lives in his own world though. He definitely proposes the most absurd and lopsided trade ideas.
It’s frustrating to read anything he posts EVEN as an Okc fan.
All you can do is either ignore his posts or be prepared to scream at the screen when you read them.
But don’t worry, nobody takes anything from him seriously.
