    In China, he got a 2 year ban from the NBA in 2016. So i wonder if he's eligible 2018-19 season or 2019-20

    Gordon Hayward would require giving up Ego. Morey could also try and shake Rozier from them. Yeah Hayward game is slowly coming back.

    I’m just imagining Tillman telling Morey to tweet this ahahaha. Can’t keep letting the media call you cheap!

    Is there any information out there regarding any real interest in Melo? I am starting to believe that if a team has real interest, that Melo could be a nice additional piece to throw in to make a good deal happen.

    Does Melo still hold enough value to become an important piece of a much larger deal?

    Considering how much we've won, it's pretty insane that we have only paid LT twice so far. Morey's CV can be his record and total LT paid. On an ipad of course.

    I think we are just going to trade him to a team of his choice, like the Bulls did with Wade.

    I could see some interest from the Lakers, but I doubt if we can acquire anything more than a future second rounder from them.

    If Knight comes in looking like he could be 80 percent the player Lou Williams is (big if and not holding my breath), I'd first propose Knight plus 2nd for Ingles at Utah. After being rejected I'd offer Gordon for Ingles around the deadline (Utah's record would play into this), meanwhile looking for another scoring punch off the bench.

    I believe Utah wanted to play with more Pace this year and Gordon would help with that.

    Ingles would fit our starting squad perfect and allows Ennis to play on the bench.

    Ingles is a very good fit for Houston, but Gordon takes pressure off Harden and saves him from excessive minutes.

    I like Ingles but I think a bigger need is a pg behind Paul.

    Right, and they were interested in the rumored 4 first rounders offered by Houston for Jimmy Butler. Now they would
    want 4 first rounders plus Tucker and Eric Gordon and then some.

    Hard pass.

    I couldn't watch him this season so I don't know how he is but no one talking about Wesley Matthews for Knight+Pick/Picks, wondering why

    Yeah, Angie is shrewd and tough. GH isn't Prime Lebron. Forget him.

    Moore isn't available. Bazemore might I guess. Kelly or Cod might know that.

    Or a team that will buy him out which helps the financial bottom line (a step closer to getting out of the tax).

    I like the Ingles idea but I doubt Utah trades Ingles … they have him under contract for 2 years after this one.

    They just traded for Korver …. shooting help at the wing - behind Ingles.

    Could see them moving Korver or Sefolosha at the deadline if they cant improve in the standings but not Ingles.
