good deal for the hawks. i thought he'd get a little more. guess that means the hawks aren't tanking either, or that a josh smith deal is imminent.

I'm definitely going to be rooting for the Rockets since I **** hate the Heat. Harden and Parson are pretty cool though.

I don't think Rockets are going to gel that quick maybe in 2 yrs not with spurs and okc.

Bill Ingram ‏@TheRocketGuy 2m
Rockets smart to grab Anderson, who played so well off of Dwight in Orlando .

i'd root for the heat just so i can see the drama that unfolds with dwight in the offseason requesting a teammate be traded or that he be traded.

Why in the world would we do that?

Their picks are going to be garbage and lin and asik have 2 years left on their deals, each ending in 15mil payouts (I know they only count 8 against the cap, but still).
It would wreck our cap space for 2014 and they are average to below average players.

There is no sane reason to ever trade for them.

lol dwight already changed his twitter avatar...

I've decided to become a member of the Houston Rockets. I feel its the best place for me and I am excited about joining the Rockets and I'm looking forward to a great season. I want to thank the fans in Los Angeles and wish them the best."

Wow no thanks to the lakers or his teammates? Just the fans... classy. Not that I'm complaining, the Lakers deserve that ****, but still...

So Iggy leaves Den Dwight leaves LA & Bynum isnt goin back to Philly. We have Affalo Vucevic Harkless & 3 future 1st rd picks. Not bad

For those who think Nelson is overpaid, Calderon, age 31 coming off a season of 11.3 and 7.1, got 7 mil a year. Jameer, age 31, got 8.5, and averaged 14.7 and 7.

For Lin? Perhaps you are right. However, Ask is young. He is a hell of a rebounder--3rd last season with better per48 numbers than the top two-- and a relentless rim protector. A mobile, defense first big guy. Perfect fit next to Vuc going forward. If we are waiving people, he is not the worst way to get to the salary cap.

Lol at LA. They got dumped by a cheating gf lol.

I would never turn down a cheap big like Asik. Not cheap in salary, but as far as price, since Houston needs to move him he might be going at a discount.

I would only count on one of those 1st rounders. I am almost positive the others will turn into 2nd rounders by the time we get them in like 5 years.
