I'd rather have Beasley and Wes Johnson for Kevin Martin. The Gasol talk won't go away because, I think, he physically resembled McHale. I think Morey thinks that McHale can toughen him up and teach him a few more things and make a resurgent career for the Spaniard. I'm okay with that but it all depends on the price and most of the proposals are too costly for Houston.
In my opinion we gotta trade for Beasley, his value is probably career low and we can probably snatch him for TWill and maybe a pick? Beasley's offensive game has so much potential, dude is a scorer. We can use someone like him when were on those offensive droughts. Plus, I really feel he can blow up into a legit player here.
I agree with tryin to snatch Beasley on the cheap... maybe Bud, an expiring and second rd pick might do it...
Thoughts? Rockets trade: Kevin Martin Jordan Hill Chase Budinger Timberwolves trade: Michael Beasley Nikola Pekovic Wesley Johnson
Yeah I agree. The guy has the ability to become an elite scorer in this league.. As far as his pricetag here's an article from minny... [rquoter]A little birdie confirmed Wednesday that the Los Angeles Lakers have expressed interest in trading for Timberwolves forward Michael Beasley. Whether the Lakers have made an offer for Beasley is unclear, but the Wolves aren't especially interested in acquiring more bodies. A first-round draft pick might be a reasonable trade. .... The Lakers, by the way, aren't the only team expressing interest in Beasley [/rquoter] http://www.twincities.com/sports/ci_20019654 Offering them the NY pick, along with their own second rounder and a future pick in addition to some expiring's might do the trick.
LOVE IT - but dont think it'll happen.... the only way I see Minnie parting with Pekovic is in a 3 way where they get Pau...
I don't understand all these scenarios involving Scola/Martin/Dragic with no young "bluechips" being moved. The CP3 trade was nixed because Stern saved Demps from looking like a moron because of this. But I guess the fact that that deal "happened" proves that some GMs really are that dumb...
My thoughts are that some of you people really think of the most unrealistic trades, like trading a bag full of donkey dung for a box full of gold...please see above....how abut Thabeet, Courtney Lee, and Flynn for Al Jefferson, Paul Millsap, and Gordon Hayward and then turn around and trade Scola, Budinger, and Parsons for James Harden, Kendick Perkins and Eric Maynor and 2 future number ones....Houston sports fan=no sense of reality
what do you guys think about sending all of our 09ers to the thunder for Durant? We could use the scoring he would give us! Scotty can develop hasheem and twill.
I've been in the James Harden camp for a while, he's underutilized in OKC (not bad coaching just already two established stars). And the Thunder need a post presence Scola and Kmart + Pick for Harden. The only thing is the salaries aren't in the same ball park. Would need a 3rd team.
if the timberwolves got kevin martin i'm sure adelman would love to see martin and love together on the same team
Courtney Lee and Chase Budinger and the NY pick for James Harden, because OKC can't afford to pay him and Ibaka along w/ their All Stars. Okay, it isn't realistic.
OKC has no reason to trade Harden before next season's trade deadline, and even then they may choose to keep him.
Okay, the Lakers want Lowry for Gasol. We want Howard and Deron. What about we give the Lakers Lowry and Scola for Gasol...but only do it if we have a deal on the table with Orlando for Howard that would include Martin, PP, Parsons, our expirings and any/all picks that they want to complete the deal? If we can keep Dragic, CLee and hopefully Morris, we could add anything and everything in the deal that would make Orlando happy enough to do the deal..even two of those three if necessary. Howard may want to play and stay here if we can pair him up with Gasol, with the potential to sign Deron in the off season. The key would be saving enough cap room to sign Deron and hopefully keeping CLee and Morris for our 2 and 3 positions. If we had a starting lineup next year of: Deron CLee Morris Gasol Howard I think we become the favorites for it all and would not have any problems signing players on the cheap to filll out the roster; not to mention whatever is left over that Orlando leaves or sends over to make the deal happen. Eating that Turkgolu contract may be the part that becomes tough if it keeps us from having enough cap space to sign Deron outright in the offseason. Maybe some of the capologists here can toss around the facts of whether it would work or not. My thoughts are always shoot for the stars, and be happy if you are able to land on the moon.
