I just hope that McDonough doesn't stand PAT with so much activity going on.

At least two of Tucker/Knight/Tyson/Barbosa has to be moved by the deadline imo.

It would be disappointing if he doesn't make any moves at all.

Woweee.... Houston got off Cory Brewer AND got Lou for their pick. Nice.

Lou to Houston
Brewer+1st to Lakers

Damn do the Rockets now have the greatest scoring SGs trio in NBA history?

Just more evidence that it's very doubtful we get a 1st rounder for expiring 32 year old PJ Tucker when Lou Will on another year of $7 million only nets the 27th pick and Corey Brewer. Hoping we make something happen, but I'd be surprised to get that much value at this point.

“The question mark for me is Tyson Chandler. The word consistently from the Suns is he’s not available, you know. Earl Watson is constantly coming out and saying Tyson is here we don’t want him to go anywhere but you know Earl Watson is the coach, he’s not the front office. So I don’t know that he really has the ultimate say there. Now I know Portland was trying and trying and trying on Tyson and couldn’t get him. Did the Nurkic trade. I wonder will someone try to, or Phoenix would they be willing to give up Chandler? I don’t think Tyson Chandler wants to go, I think he wants to stay in Phoenix. But that’s what I think we’ve got to keep our eye on.”

Tanktastic! Tankalicious! Tankasmic!

I always thought BK would be hard to deal cause any GM would just got for Lou Williams first. Now he's off the table, chances of someone taking Knight increase.

Corey Brewer's contract is really bad that's the main reason they had to give a 1st rd pick.

Lakers guaranteeing themselves the 2nd worst record. Orlando coming for us now.

further evidence it's unlikely PJ fetches a first rounder

Not really, still plenty of buyers on the market with picks. This is how the panic deals are sold to a desperate team

That trade was more about the Lakers tanking hard than it was about Lou's actual value.

Wow, great trade for the Rockets. Lou is a microwave killer, they can put now 150 points any given night.

Lakers have $41m tied to Mozgov, Deng, Brewer.

Huh? Lou Williams for a #27 pick would be good. Not having Brewer is even better for the Rockets.

Vivek has ruined the trade market.

Markieff Morris is worth 14 picks higher than Lou Williams?

Read on Twitter

Too many better players than Knight in the market for cheap. He is gonna be tough to trade.

I think PJ probably has a slightly larger number of suitors. My hope was that would drive up the asking price.

If anything, this deal says to me McD is going to wait until 2:59pm to pull the trigger on a trade of him.

Who knows, maybe we get a young guy to bet on and a late 2nd.
