I just don't see Asik getting that much. He's on a bad contract, on a team that desperately needs to move him, with a league full of teams in tank mode that want to keep their 1st rounders. It's a bad time to be demanding a 1st. But the Rockets knew this going into courting Howard. They back off of this stance Or they become willing to take back a bad contract to get a 1st.
Asik, Casspi, Beverley for Gordon and 2016 1st?

Also if we can get a 1st in possible Morrow trade I would through that in.
Pelicans don't need to give up a 1st rd pick necesarily. They just need to find someone the Rockets value as much as a first rd pick. Can they do that with Rivers, Pierre, Aminu, Morrow, the exception, etc..?
If we are able to get Asik who play's SF does Morrow, Miller or Babbitt start?
Morrow
I hope this deadline is fun.
Asik, Jeff Green or IIyasova which player do you think we will trade for
Sorry meant Greg Monroe

or if we take Villanueva off there hand we could possible get Monroe
LOL was thinking about the Bucks rumors
If we get a first round pick, I hope we draft Elfrid Payton from ULL. he's the only player in the draft who avg better than 20-5-5 and he is a defensive whiz like Holliday. I could see Monty really liking him, plus it is safe to assume his skills transfer; he is so fast.
I know PG doesn't seem like a position of need, but the Pels are in a good location to get a good one-up assesing his abilities
Sheee. I was just mistaken for Ilyasova at Mcdonalds.
The Pelicans should be all over Jordan Hill. Reportedly the Nets are considering offering a 2nd rounder to absorb Hill into their exception (in order to save the Lakers luxury tax payments). However, they are a little cautious about doing it given the $17.5 million luxury tax bill it will cost them. Hill would fit nicely into our exception and gives us part of a season to try him out.
That's a super desperate move by the Nets. Asking the owner to pay an extra 17.5M on top of their already extremely stupid luxury tax would be crazy. Then saying, "Oh btw we are going to give them a 2nd rounder too" for the privilege of paying that extra money. . .i dunno.
The Lakers would make this trade without getting anything back because it saves them just over 7M in luxury tax if they move him. For a player that Mike D doesn't like. I just have to imagine at some point the owner steps in and says enough is enough. The injury to Brook Lopez sucks and killed their chances but Jordan isn't going to put them over the top and would just be wasting money. I just can't see it happening.
