Pelicans finalizing trade for Asik

[RekeHavoc]

Sorry was trying to edit the post before you saw it.

The "TD, XP, TD, XP + TD, XP, Repeat" part?

6,1,6,1 + 6,1, [Repeat]

6,1,6,7,1 6,1,6,7,1??? Maybe?

42 Maybe? Ajinca

That's how we got Ajinca.

Word... Still hoping we somehow get Beverley but your trade seems possible

[RekeHavoc]

I'm an outsider. First post. Let's see.

I think this is the answer: http://espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=kvkbern

My reasoning?

TD, XP, TD, XP + TD, XP, Repeat

6+1, 6+1 + 6+1= 21 * 2=

42= Kevin Love


At top because most important move.

Blank Blank Blank, Blank Blank = 3 in, 2 out?


US Senator= Rubio

Warren Moon= 1= Shved

Elway= 7= Lin

Nothing= Gordon (nothing lost)

Double Jet Li= 11= Jrue Holiday

Babe Ruth= 3= Asik

We wouldn't do that. Think smaller, MM mentioned either on here or twitter that it wasn't going to be anything major.

I do too! But I can't see them giving up Beverley when they need a PG if they move Lin. He's just on too good of a contract.

Audioout, Thanks for post and welcome. That's a good effort, but I don't think we would make that trade. Houston simply gets too good of a deal out of it. They dump Asik and Lin, give up nothing else, and land Love. no way that happens. I also don't think we'd do it when we already have Tyreke on the team. Taking back two PG's wouldn't really fit. But stick around and keep posting.

Yeah I definitely agree. Your's seems much more likely. Even if it's not 100% it's gotta be a pretty close variation.

Also I agree, keep posting Audioout... I like the effort, coming up with that trade, especially one that works with salary regulations!

[Audioout]

I do believe the first part is 42 and why separate that from the rest and place it above and first?

Also, "blank blank blank, blank blank" to me does indicate this amount of players moving.

Trying to figure out which team is part of the the three team deal is the hardest part. Rubio seems obvious to me which would mean Timberwolves are the team to watch. Looking at the other clues and looking at jersey numbers. It fits for the most part.

[Audioout]

Could be why we aren't hearing anything about a Love trade...pending on what happens with Lebron and Cleveland offer. Either way, you get Asik anyways as Houston makes deals to make cap space.

I mean, I wasn't expecting to be right on my first post ever. Would have been kind of legendary.

[sleepingbunch]

if the five pelicans players are Ajinca, Eli, Aminu, Miller, and Roberts, then maybe the blank just means 3 of them go to the bucks, and 2 of them go to the rockets.

I think replace Babbitt with Roberts but I agree.

Bucks out- Middleton, Second
Bucks in- Lin, Rivers, NOP First
Receive a starting PG and Back up pg so Knight can play his natural positions at the 2 and OJ as the back up while getting a first round pick

Hou out- Asik
Hou in- ELy, Babbit, Ajinca, Bucks second
Hou gets cap to go after Bosh or sign Deng or Ariza to replace Parson and gets a back up to Dwight with Ajinca

Pels out- ELy, Babbit, Ajinca, first , rivers
Pels in- Asik, Middleton
Clears cap to get Asik and get a small forward.

Haha indeed would be legendary. I just don't think this will be that big of a trade as MM said. But I was wondering the same thing about the separate line. I also doubt we'd do that trade as currently constructed, but I guess we'll see what happens. Your guess is as good as mine.

I'm only basing it off of what everyone together came up with. But I will say this, if that's the rough idea of the trade, I am extremely happy with it. We keep our exceptions and get Asik without having to give up anyone really. If we had went back a week I was certain Rivers was gone. So this is great.

This one seems a little simpler because there isn't any sign and trade going on. Did you use MM's message or just do a deal that makes sense, because this one is definitely possible.

Agree completely. Allows us to hopefully bring Morrow back or sign someone else we have been targeting ... Like it a lot.

I pieced everyone else together some what and filled every teams needs.

just for something different. what if US Senator = Bill Bradley = New York

Just don't see it. Houston has to already gut their team to offer Bosh a contract that isn't even max. I can't imagine they take on guaranteed money in Ajinca.

[DaJruth]

Wouldn't mind that trade. Who's got advanced statistics on Middleton defensively?

Unfortunately, Houston isn't going to take back ANY salary unless it nets them a max player. Any salary that comes back AT ALL, takes them out of the Bosh pursuit. But if they strike out on Bosh....maybe so.

[Mythrol]

Well, if it's him I can't see any of the pieces fitting. They don't have the cap to absorb our players, much less Lin. It might be, but the trade got a lot more complicated if it is them.

They wave Ely and Babbit but keep Ajinca, his contract is so cheap it wouldn't effect the deal. Even if they do go after Bosh they still need to get a bench.

I love you guys. This thread made my night.

Can't stop laughing. Like watching Will Hunting at work

[billfromfinance]

mopping floors?

[Mythrol]

Sadly it does effect them. His slightly over 1M comes directly off the top of Bosh's contract. They already are dumping everyone outside of Harden, Howard, cap hold on Jones, cap hold on Parsons, cap hold on Beverley. And even doing this only gets them NEAR the max offer for Bosh. I can't see them willing to accept anything.

I take this as the highest complement! Lol
