The Suns won't do that. The Knicks are trying to acquire Collison for Felton & Shumpert. I think Barnes or Dudley will be also included.
Remember, Morey's last tweet (yesterday) was basically saying that what is reported in the media is wrong. I honestly think he was referring to the Yahoo! report which said the Rockets would LOVE to trade Asik & also that they are actively shopping Lin.
http://espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=lob7pmu Rockets IN: Rajon Rondo & Channing Frye + (fillers) Knicks IN: Jeremy Lin & Omer Asik Celtics IN: Emeka Okafor, Iman Shumpert, Terrence Jones, Donatas Motiejunas, 2014 1st round pick from Suns, 2014 1st Round pick from Rockets. Suns IN: Tyson Chandler & Brandon Bass
Rockets in: rondo and Deng Celtics in: Lin, DMo, smith, and Covington 2014 and 2016 1sts Cavs in: Asik, Brewer, and Cannan You get Rondo and Deng all while keeping Parsons and Jones! Rondo/Bev/AB Harden/Garcia Parsons/Deng Jones/Casspi Howard/Camby If Morey can do this I'm renaming my son Daryl.
http://espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=lm5two7 Rockets IN: T. Young, S. Hawes, K. Olynyk 76ers IN: Rondo, J. Green, O. Asik Celtics IN: J. Lin, E. Turner, D. Motiejunas Rockets get stretch 4s in Hawes and Young. 76ers get pieces for rebuilding. Rondo-Carter-Green-?-Asik Celtics get nice rebuilding pieces as well. Throw in some picks and call it a day. Thoughts?
The issue is that, for the Sixers, they're trying to actively lose this season. Those guys do the opposite. Only way this works is if the Sixers just don't play Asik and Green, or play them sparingly and let Rondo rehab AND Canaan is able to take over back up pointguard. Other than that, looks like a good trade for all teams involved.
Aaron Brooks to the Knicks for Shumpert. Brooks gets to start (good for him), Knicks need a PG more than they need Shumpert (who the ownership is not keen on), and Rockets get a decent 3 & D wing.
A third string guy for Shump??? come on man!!!!! <a href="http://www.reactiongifs.us/shaking-head-breaking-bad/"><img src="http://www.reactiongifs.us/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/shaking_head_breaking_bad.gif"></a>
I'd throw in a cherry and fortune cookie with that, if Dolan wanted. Something like a 2nd round pick, mutatis mutandis and all that, ya know.
This team as constituted right now is not going to win a championship. Adding a guy like Rondo gets us much closer to that goal.
reevaluating my decision to want rondo and i'll be content if we dont get him we're in a groove right now the only thing i'd want is a wing that can come off the bench and shoot some 3s i would be so happy with that
yeah, deng for asik! then we'll have howard and no one else suited to play center. that should be fun.
