    I must have been to first to allude to this! Howard plus Harden and I'm still not drinking the Morey Kool aid!

    I hope Lin gets dealt so the knowledge of basketball in this forum will increase via subtraction.

    LOF have made this forum puke worthy at times.

    This trade = second round exit for years to come (unless we face the Clippers in the first round). I give it a 20% chance of happening.

    How do you think DMo gets any minutes with Bass and Jones ahead of him?

    This makes DMo completely expendable.

    Nope I meant. 2 picks over Gasol.
    I would be thrilled even about one first rounder and one 2nd rounder.

    this.

    People forget that just getting that guy off our team will be an upgrade at this point, sad to say.

    Yeah but DMo is still a very good prospect, so more than what has been publically speculated about needs to be coming back.

    If we are trying to replicate the Harden trade:

    Olynyk > Lamb
    Boston 1st < Toronto 1st
    Multiple Rockets 1st = Dallas top 20 protect 1st
    NYK 2nds = Charlotte 2nd

    Still needs one more piece, but it's closer than you would think. If one of our current players outside of Harden, Howard, and Parsons can really develop into an above average player (TJones), we may have what we need.

    *Yawn* I have no idea why people are getting so worked up over this and trashing on Morey.

    Let's *THINK* about what Morey has actually done over the last 1.5 years....

    -Picked up a Back up center for NO picks and JUST salary through FA
    -Paid him $5M/year for the first 1.5 years
    -Convinced the league that he's a legitimate Starting center
    -Upgraded him with Dwight Howard, arguably the #1 Center in the NBA
    -Is now flipping him for 1-2 serviceable players that fill existing needs AND a first round draft pick

    And we still haven't seen all the deals or Morey's end game.

    And folks are upset? SeriouslY?

    Here's some reality... not every Morey trade is going to be a home run. Sometimes they're going to be singles and doubles that get him on base so that when he's ready to hit the Home Run, he can go for a grand slam.

    The "GM's" were saying that Morey was delusional for asking for a 1st round pick, yet now that he's lining up a pick AND 1-2 serviceable players folks are acting like Morey laid an egg?

    Trust in Morey guys. So far he's done a pretty darn good job.

    We'll see what the total package looks like once it's all done.
