Jeez. It's hard to believe the Rockets would really consider using the amnesty on Scola just to take back extra contracts. If they do that, they are really desperate, which is a fantastic sign for us. Wow.

Yeah, we could use part of the TPE

I doubt Hedo would be involved in the deal...

If Henny gets rid of Hedo he goes ahead of Ferry for offseason GM of the year

Probasketballdraft
Talked to an executive during the Summer League, who said Magic PF Andrew Nicholson would be "a borderline All-Star". The exec went on to say Nicholson has been unguardable in one-on-one situations.

ha Kyle O'Quinn's college team was up for an ESPY (for best upset)... didn't win though.

We need quality youth at all positions. I wonder if we get back KMart, do we move him for more draft picks or keep him for his scoring? He does get to the FT line.

Martin will be flipped immediately for a draft pick or another young player to fit our nucleus of young talent. I'd ship him to Clippers for Bledsoe and another expiring.

Bledsoe
Lamb/Redick
Jones or Parsons
Nicholson/Davis
KO/Ayon

On the way to Shabazz

I've been ulling for a trade with Houston for a while now for multiple reasons the only bad thing I see from my own satisfaction is if the trade happens soon we won't see any rooks we may get back play in the summer league!!!!;)

If we traded KMart for a draft pick and after trading Howard/Hedo/Turk for KMart/Lamb/White/Parsons/Donatas and picks this is what our team salary situation would like. Too bad there are no big name FA this summer. we could easily sign Sessions. OR Trade a TPE to a team like ATL for JSmoove or to Philly for Iggy. If a team is wanting to dump salary.

PG: Jameer - $6.5 million
Duhon - $3.7 million
FA - $1 million

SG: Redick - $6 million
Lamb - $1.7 million
Liggins - $1 million

SF: Parsons - $1 million
White - $1.4 million
Harper - $1 million
QRich - $2.7 million

PF: Nicholson - $1.2 million
Ayon - $1.5 million
Clark - $1.2 million

C: BBD - $6.4 million
Donatas - $1.2 million
O'Quinn - $1 million

$38.5 million total salary.
