According to this one guy from Reddit that saw him at the game, so believe it or ignore it. Spoiler Link
Just for fun, and throwing my interpretation of this: First: 'Soda', probably just Minnesota and, hopefully, not some obscure drink Second: Cigar, the reference to two Kevins, possibly being the same package that Minny wanted to move to GS. Although of course there's the Kevin McHale, but I'd just assume Doc's saying "listen to" to try to convey that we're being offered two Kevins. Third: Mr. Coben wrote a book called "Play Dead", which could be analogous to this famous Carmelo incident: <iframe width="420" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/6DCJXYbBB7w" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Thus, this just leads me to believe that Doc's subsequent tweets were just echoing his thoughts that the Rockets should be listening and trying to workout a deal with Minny for Kevin Love and KMart instead of trying to deal with/sign Carmelo "Play Dead" Anthony.
good take on it. I thought along similar lines that he believes we should be focused on love and in one tweet he said if you aren't first, your last or something along those lines. I really believe that what he's saying is that Love will probably be traded elsewhere while we are courting Melo/LBJ. Hopefully, that's not the case though...
KMart and KLove - make it happen Morey. Even if it probably means letting Parsons go. KMart would be great off the bench Bev Harden 3 and D Small Forward Love Dwight
yeah ...this is most likely what he means. I remember watching an interview with Kevin Love where he credits McHale with the early part of his development. It's very clear that he has a real affinity for McHale. Hell if McHale can get Love to commit to Houston long-term, i can bare his mediocre coaching. At least his players play hard for him.
Not sure if I missed someone saying this, but the Wilsons thing definitely seems like a reference to The Beach Boys that Kevin Love's uncle was a part of. (The Wilson bros started it)
If Parsons is not in the deal then it has to be Lin (maybe to third team), Jones, Motiejunas, Euro prospect, NOP pick and our 2015 pick.
How is this an ultimate win? We cripple our PF bench. We can't trade both DMo or Jones. It has to be either one of them.
We would sign someone like Okafor. Love/Parsons/Covington are your power forwards. Howard/Harden/Parsons/Love will just be too much for most teams. We will win 60 or so games.
Something close to this. The other part is taking on contracts, which you can do with Asik's TPE. Now look at Golden State's best offer: Lee - doesn't expire next year, and is a terrible fit next to Pekovic. Even ignoring this, he's overpaid. Thompson- good player, but he's a RFA next year Barnes - value nosedived last year 2015 pick in the 20s That is their absolute best offer, and frankly, I'm pretty sure a Lee/Pekovic front court would destroy their ability to compete while they have Rubio. Boston has an interesting assortment of players and picks, but whatever they offer won't be dramatically off from what the Rockets can bring got the table. We've got a very solid chance.
