I'm liking some of these trades. Wondering if we can't make a move for a legit SG. Beasley is a bad person but he could be a good fit on our team. Maybe something like

MIL: Davis, Beasley
MIN: Lopez, Forbes, DJW

Gives us a little breathing room to pick up a buyout guy or 2 plus Min could really use someone like Brook to protect Towns

I think Beasley would be an awesome add from a talent standpoint, but I don’t see our front office or ownership trading for a guy that has to serve jail time after the season is over.

I like it for everyone but Houston. Their stated goal is to get more athletic in the front court. I don't think Vernon Carey accomplishes that.

Happy JJ Redick anniversary everyone.

Wojnarowski expects a “seller’s market” for Tucker, listing the Lakers, Bucks and Nets among many teams that are interested.

Wonder if we keep Adams and if not, who the replacement 2 way is.

Frank Mason is available again, but he has an injury. I wonder if that's healed yet?

Twirl needs to find that thread from trade deadline 2013

Houston seeking players as opposed to picks for Tucker helps our chances at getting him if he is someone we are interested in.

But even though the Rockets (11-17) have lost seven straight games and clearly aren’t a title contender this season, that doesn’t mean they’re ready for an all-out rebuild. (The fact that Oklahoma City has the right to swap Houston’s first-round draft pick in 2021 for Miami’s choice also minimizes any incentive for the Rockets to pursue a so-called tank.)

Per ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, the Rockets are not placing a high priority on future draft considerations in their trade talks involving Tucker. “Houston wants back not [draft] picks, but a player that they can plug back into their lineup,” Woj said in a television appearance late Saturday.

Woj identified the Miami Heat, Los Angeles Lakers, Milwaukee Bucks, Brooklyn Nets, as among many teams with interest in Tucker. “There’s a lot of interest among contenders,” said Wojnarowski, who believes it could be a “seller’s market” at the trade deadline. That’s because the NBA’s new play-in tournament for the final two playoff spots in each conference could incentivize more teams to make a postseason push.

Now 35 years old, Tucker is averaging 4.7 points and 4.6 rebounds in 30.0 minutes per game this season. However, as his teammates and coaches recently explained, his value is tough to capture in basic statistics. For starters, Tucker is a clear veteran leader in Houston’s locker room, as shown by the testimonials of those consistently around him.

Tucker at $8M will be hard to match with what the Bucks have to offer.

PJ Tucker can't help what ails us.

Actually imo he can fix exactly what ails us if he's got something left in the tank.

I disagree and I hope we don't find out that I'm right.

DJ Augustin + Craig (or Nwora or Merrill) would work according to NBA Trade Machine.

Not sure if that is inaccurate due to the hard cap. And that’s aside from how the Rockets would perceive the trade package itself.

Houston would need to positively value Augustin and want him in their rotation for the scenario to work. Not sure what the chances of that are.

[PG Graveyard]

Lopez for Tucker/House?

Lopez for Tucker/House?

Houston want to trade Cousins cause they're looking to get smaller. I doubt they have interest in Lopez.

True. Maybe re-route Carey to the Knicks, who were reportedly interested, for a guy like Knox. They'd probably add 2nds as well.

Watch on YouTube

Anything you want to add before we commit to watching?

It's actually a pretty good video. Basically tells us what we all know, that Lopez and Forbes suck and sink our defense and goes in depth why. The NetSuite promo 5 minutes in was by far the best part of the video though.

Any analysis that leaves out the coach as the number one problem is a bad analysis.

It didn't leave out Bud. Basically says the scheme is stupid but that Lopez and Forbes are ruining an already questionable scheme.
