    We need to wait on Canaan to break out like Eric Bledsoe. Then we can trade Asik and Canaan at the trade deadline for Aldridge.

    Asik + Lin + TJones or DMo + return of TRob bounty (2 2nd rd picks + 2 euro player rights) + future 1st.... is that enough for LMA?

    ...and should leave enough for D12 and another 4M in cap space... and I think we still have NY 2nd rd picks for next couple years to add cheap contracts w upside....

    Bev/Caanan
    Harden/Anderson
    Parsons/?
    LMA/DMo or TJones/GSmith
    D12/Ohlbrecht/DMo/GSmith

    I'd love to have LMA here but outside of Asik, we don't have anything to offer that wouldn't downgrade the team.

    Aldridge's Salary vs. Asik's Salary

    2013 - 2014
    Aldridge - $14,100,000
    Asik --- - $ 5,225,000

    2014 - 2015
    Aldridge - $15,200,000
    Asik --- - $14,898,938

    How does this work as far as player swapping? Does Houston have to match 2013 - 2014's salary or do they look at the total contract?

    A poster on clutchfans that consistently disrespects Doc and cyberx starts a thread about an insider on real gm? That's rich.

    They don't use the actual salary, they just have to match cap hits. So it would be Asik at $8.3M + assets like the young PFs and their salaries, picks, and maybe even salary filler Royce White + the extra percentage of salary you're allowed to take back in a trade.

    8.3 million is the only number that matters.

    We can trade Lin and Asik in a three way deal where Asik goes to Portland and Lin goes to a third team, and the third team gives Portland something they want.

    Theoretically, we could find a way to deal for LMA by renegotiating the T-Rob trade, but it would destroy our depth (we'd be down to 7-8 players) and we'd have to sign 5 or 6 players just to fill out the roster.

    I would do it, but it would be very expensive. Then again, Les has been saying that he'd pay the LT for a championship team, so this is his chance. I'm sure Morey could find some combination of Euro and minimum contract players to fill our that roster.

    Not if they want Parsons and Asik. Otherwise, Hell & Yes.

    Another thing, if this is true and we strike out on Dwight, we could make it happen very easily without losing anyone. He would look damn good playing next to a defensive and rebounding machine like Asik.

    If it is true Portland is looking to deal Adridge, i will suggest Morey get on the phone right away and offer them Asik. Are you kidding me....Adridge is 5x better than Josh Smith...actually make it 10x better because he fits this team perfectly.

    "disrespects" lol

    Doubting their credentials as an insider does not equal disrespect. It equals critical thinking. If I couldn't think critically, I'd be going around here posting photoshopped pictures as truth, you know?

    I would give up anybody short of Harden & Beverley to get Aldridge here. Parsons has a favourable contract but Aldridge, Howard & Harden is just too good to pass up. We can sign Brewer & Garcia to fill that SF spot and you would probably have to trade Lin so that would leave us with:

    Bev / Canaan
    Harden / Anderson
    Brewer / Garcia
    Aldridge / Tjones / D-Mo
    Dwight / Leonard / Smith

    Certainly, but I also think it's the whole package, a young core of genuinely nice and intelligent guys.

    yeah, I'm the guy in the pic that met LA during all star break. he seemed really excited about the potential of playing with harden.

    would love to have him on our team but i don't think portland gives him up for just asik and a pick or two. i'd think that portland would want A LOT more for morey to get er done.
