    I'm pleasantly surprised, but I worry about the chemistry between him and Harden.

    We can add up to 12M in the 4 team trade, but if we add outgoing players to the deal we can take on even more salary so, it wouldn't require to trade PJ, but probably House and McLemore or Hartenstein, now i don't know exactly, but we would be close in this scenario.

    That would hurt us a great deal.

    I think you're looking at a Deandre Jordan or Al Horford. Horford is probably someone the Sixers are eager to get out from under - he's a bad fit with the team and is not getting the minutes he expected, and now he has three more seasons of 20+M owed to him.

    Haven't been able to read the whole thread yet, but has anyone posted the requirement yet that it must be someone 6'9 or under?

    Horford is out of our reach unless we trade Westbrook.

    Salary matching aside, what incentive does Indiana have to trade Turner to Houston?

    House should be retained. He is playing well. We still need him despite adding Ro-Co.

    Not while the Raptors are #2 in the east

    Same, about to leave the office and I'd like this done before I get to my car so I can drive like a jackass for no reason instead of because I'm distracted by my phone

    You would have to add the picks we have left plus House + 2 of 3 of Hartenstein, Thabo and Tyson Chandler.

    Are the Pacers that desperate to dump Turner?

    If so, the Rockets have to do it.

    If so my bad. It's getting crazy in here. Thompson here, Turner there, Thong here, Ibaka there, Jarrett here, DMo there.
