@mcnamara247
In truth, "finalizing" is still "not finalized...yet"
They have to wait til Monday for Ely's contract to be able to work
I thought it was today
New Orleans Pelicans-Seattle Seahawks-Atlanta Braves-Anaheim Ducks
RIP HunnyB
This fits HunnyB/FlyGirl so well- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IyzTiSEfM00
Not 100% sure but I heard Monday. I hope its today
The Cavs and hornets deal just went through. I guess Hopson will get waived then Pelicans pick him up to trade to Houston for Asik!
Not how it would work. If he is waived, they don't get his fake contract, which is what they need to make the Asik deal.
They need Charlotte to re-route him here and then package that with our other fake contracts for Asik. At least, that was the plan. Who knows if Houston is trying to do things slightly differently with their latest developments. NOTHING BIG. Just a little tweak here or there.
Summer League and World Cup. We will wake everyone when its official.
MM, should we already have figured that code you posted in other thread out?
No. It never had anything to do with the players involved.

You're gonna tell us though right lol
Yes. Remember - I posted it because people were questioning Mason and whether he really knew of any inside stuff about how the trade would go down.
I will kill the suspense now. I can't remember the original code or search for it, but it basically read
7-14-14
1501 Dave Dixon Dr, New Orleans, LA 70113
That is the day and place of the Asik press conference, at least as of a few days ago. We were told it couldn't go through until then because some NG contracts had to be acquired and added to Ely, etc. Still haven't heard anything new to say otherwise.
Just gotta wait now. Thanks to everyone for decoding the terrible riddle by me. That was quality entertainment and a way to get through this waiting period.
Side note: I think I made a mistake. US Senator clue was supposed to refer to Jack Kemp (who was #15) but I think he was a COngressment. Oops!
So is the trade still supposed to happen today?
@DanielVeuleman
the best answer to this is maybe
never assume

I went to high school and played basketball with Mason and his brother Jacob for a year while they were displaced after Katrina, I can attest he has no resign to lie or make stuff up.
Contributor
Anyone ever get an explanation as what the hold up is with the trade? Thought we would have heard something by now after a few people said this should be announced early this morning.
Contributor
If I only would have waited a few mins.......
Stay tuned! RT @daldridgetnt Wizards have engaged Rockets & Pelicans in 3-team deal to facilitate Ariza going to Rockets & Asik going to NO.

Wizards will take non-guaranteed contract of Melvin Ely from NO & get $8.5M TPE for Ariza, who will do sign and trade to go to Houston.

Thank God. I've been waiting for this trade to be finalized since forever ago.

Omri Casspi!!

MM might have thought he meant Jack Kemp, but Mason realized he was thinking about the Wizards all along...
"we might make dollars, but we don't necessarily make sense"
"always be sincere....whether you mean it or not"
Pelicans will get Asik, Omri Casspi & 1.5M from Houston. Rockets get Ariza from Wizards, Alonzo Gee and 2015 protected first from Pelicans.

Saw that. Nice throw in on the deal that gives us a decent bench SF.
We have a small forward who can shoot 3's!!!
1-6
Still seems like we would have to send something else out in deal (Maybe Babbitt? Not sure if he is enough).
