For a future first


Still lots of confusion on the pick protection. Believed to be 1-3,20-30 if so than that is great

It's happening!

As a Sixers fan, glad to see someone else is also getting to benefit from Demps stupidity

they can trade a first round pick twice by july

Regarding New Orleans giving up firsts in two consecutive years, I'm told this deal will happen officially in July. By then, that's legal.

Alright, the debacle is finally over. It's nothing until one of the marquee FAs sign on. Lin's next I assume?

Not sure I like it. If this doesn't lead to another big time player then the Rockets are basically dumping talent. If you think McHale sucks at coaching players wait til you see him coaching capspace.

Hope Rockets can keep T Jones a starter.

TJ is too small and not ready defensively. I like him better off the bench. Either LBJ, Love or DMo should start IMO.

Deng, the Pelicans just got a lot better! Maybe we can sign Jason Smith.

so a deal for lin is already on the table...only if LBJ or Melo commit.

It's not as bad as the last trade

Top 20 protected pick

The Asik deal should be contingent on LBJ committing. The Rockets don't want 'Melo.

keep in mind asik doesn't want to be here...rox had to get him to just suck it up this season . rox also got a pick no worse than 20th in 2015...dont think they woulda gotten anything better than that if they waited.

also, getting rid of lin and asik frees up space for them even if lbj, melo, bosh dont come. this allows them to find some good free agents and bolster the bench which im more in favor of anyway. lin doesnt fit the team...i think lin will be better served playing elsewhere.

im sure morey wants to get this all done(including lin trade of course) before july 1st when parsons becomes RFA and the other stars are on the market.

throw it down, big man...

You're saying they should trade away their depth so they can sign more depth. That doesn't make any sense.

so first trade asik for the hornets pick

then lin and parsons for a top 5 pick and some ashole who robbed a team of 80 million dollars and we have to pay the worst part of the contract

then we trade the 2 picks, the arsehole and w/e for lebron. which would make melo want to sign here

harden retires and takes over all strip joints in houston

something like that...

like i said asik doesn't want to be here, so i believe morey traded him first and got the best deal he could for him. even if lbj doesn't come, asik is not going to come off the bench for a 2nd yr in a row. we were able to get him to buy in for the last 30 something games, but there is no way he woulda come off the bench again this coming season. he is a starter in this league.
