    Yeah that would make sense.

    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?

    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..?

    One rumor is that they want the 1st to make a run at Rondo. That seems like a longshot.

    If we are able to get Asik who play's SF does Morrow, Miller or Babbitt start?

    I hope this deadline is fun.

    "I don't know if people know — I dislocated my pinkie finger. And [Tyreke] told me, 'You wanna go home or you wanna be here?' I want to be here. And he said, 'All right, then go tape it up and let's play. Let's go. We not stoppin' at no stores. Straight gas. That's what we do, just keep going.'"

    Why would we want Ilyasova?

    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

    Doubt it! Nothing has happen yet. It's like a middle school dance where everybody is on the sides giggling at each other afraid to make a move.

    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.
