BTW - I just want to prepare you all. When Simmons wakes up he will bash the trade. Probably say something like

"They could have just kept Lopez, who is the better player, and still had their 1st rounder."

Even though I distinctly remember a podcast where he was saying for Portland to be true contenders, they should try to upgrade Lopez to Asik by using CJ McCollum.

Just warning you all. It is coming.

I can respect that.

It's he "couldn't care less."

Sorry. Random big pet peeve of mine.

Maybe I meant it how I said it.

Or maybe it's late and I'm not paying attention. Lol.

What Guru is trying to say is, Asik for a 1st that Houston gets if it is between 4 and 19.

Not to Houston. One of those 5 or Rivers HAS to be moved somewhere. there is only rumors of which one and to where right now though.

From Boston? It could be any team. Rumor is not Boston ATM, but who knows what happens over night?

Also it would be any of our core 5 or Rivers. I think it's safe to remove AD from the list however. Odds are Dell is shopping for the best deal.

Then you have a source none of us do. I might understand if you got confused if you heard the same rumor as we did.

Maybe you've heard something else? Care to pm it to me?

Is there a new rumor now?
06-26-2014, 02:19 AM

Adrian Wojnarowski is reporting that the Rockets are set to deal C Omer Asik to the Pelicans for a future first-round draft pick and $1.5 million.

This should be about a done deal and it's a big move for the Pelicans, who had a lot of injury and depth problems at center last season. Look for Asik to start alongside Anthony Davis next season, and look for his fantasy value to take a nice jump now that he no longer has to deal with Dwight Howard. As for the Rockets, they're clearly making monetary space in hopes of acquiring LeBron James or Carmelo Anthony. Additionally, Michael McNamara is reporting that the Pelicans have to trade Austin Rivers or Eric Gordon in order to take on Asik, so there's likely more to come in this deal after the draft.

Related: Carmelo Anthony, Eric Gordon, Austin Rivers

What do I love about this post on Rotoworld? Who the hell is MM? He is quoted like he is ESPN, NBATV, or dare I say Bill Simmons. Congrats Michael, you do great work! #deserved

There is no new rumor. Aussie got some information confused. I explained it to him in pm. He was referencing the rumor Havoc mentioned.

I'm guessing he had mistaken "player X" with another player with the same last name? That where Boston came from?
