Richards is worth a r3 at best given contract status. 13 and Richards (if you can even get 13 which will cost your future 1st) won't be enough for Port I don't think.

might be hungry for success. Port have been disappointing in finals for his entire career, he's 27 and North are still a few years off from being a contender. By the time North is good enough to be pushing top 4, Houston will be in his 30's, and probably being pushed out of the team by whatever young KPD's they are picking up through the draft now.
Houston is not a KPD

"Apparenty" getting 13 for a fringe-spud they're off loading, from the Suns
If that happens - Suns should be closed for ever!

That's why he isn't worth 2 1st rounders or a top 5 pick.
At this point I just admire your devotion to this trade
You do realise despite how often you post in here it won’t change the value we get if he’s traded right ?

Not actually Brad Fisher
You do realise that applies to you also, right?

Why would a KPD push Houston out of the team?
I would’ve thought the obvious difference in my interest in this trade and a Camry crows fan was well obvious
If I was stinking up the ANB thread then I’d expect the same comment

It's not even about not having the currency - we have access to picks that will get the deal done. But we have made it pretty clear we want to take at least one top pick to the draft. A smart move for a number of obvious reasons.
Houston is a great player but imo he is just not worth the cost (currently rumoured to be around 2 first rounders) for us when a HB is not really a pressing need. We have Saad and Newman as core members of the team in that same position and a couple of others (Boyd/Cowan/O.Hollands/Wilson) ready to play as well.
It would be like the Giants giving up two first round picks for Steven May. Probably a better defender than a Buckley but is he really going to significantly improve a backline that already contains Taylor/Buckley/Himmelberg/Idun?

Well at this stage his value is what clubs are willing to offer and port is willing to take.
I would think value is not purely tied to position, clubs may have pressing needs for certain positions at different stages during their list build.
Ie clubs with an embarrassment of KPDs might not hold much value to them at that particular time.
