    4 team trade
    Hou in: Z. Pachulia, Steve Novak, Alec Burkes
    Hou out: Gee, D Mo, Powell, Hopson, Canaan

    Bucks in: Favors, Faried, Hopson, Gallinari, D. Mo
    Bucks out: Sanders, Pachulia, Ilyasova

    Den in: Alonzo Gee, IlyaSova, Josh Powell
    Den out: Faried Gallinari

    Utah in: Sanders, Canaan
    Utah out: Favors, Novak,A. Burkes

    Rockets new lineup: Bev, Harden, Ariza, T. Jones, Howard
    Backups is Burkes, Daniels, Adrien, Novak, Pachulia...
    11 to 15th man becomes Ish Smith, Nick Johnson, Garcia, Covington, Clint, Dorsey

    Most likely cut if Garcia is truly back is probably Ish Smith....

    Espn trade machine shows this as Houston +6, Den +1, Mil +2, Utah -10....Only L is

    Milwaukee will probably want T. Jones more than D. Mo...Other than that its fair and

    could possibly keep our future biggest trade chips for a third star in Trevor Ariza, T.

    Jones, and NOP pick which chould probably net us Bledsoe next offseason.....

    Thats a good trade just think that Chi would want NO pick bc Im not sure if u can trade the T.E. not sure though....
    I also saw a link from an Atlanta fan forum showing a trade for A. Horford for T. Jones, NOP Pick, Canaan, Powell, Gee, Hopson bc Atl hasnt had a lotto pick in seven years since they took Horford... It gives them a quick rebuild and nice load of talents and picks it sort of even outs.....
    I liked the cap flex that we have so it should be interesting over the next year to see how the team pan out.....

    I believe we can get away with not trading them Nola 1st due to Rose was kept out of Team USA right now due to sore Knee. so for them having bev. gives them an great option for future and replace Rose if anything happens to him during season.

    I'll pass on Steve Novak and I doubt Utah gives up Burke. I do think either/both of Illyasova and Pachula here make sense though.

    That's horrible for Utah. Bad for Denver too. The Bucks make out like bandits.

    Morey probably says no because he wants flexibility next summer. Otherwise it would be a good trade for Houston.

    Eric Bledsoe is available. I do not understand why you guys are proposing Goran Dragic (unavailable!) trades rather than Eric Bledsoe trades. Here is the sort of package that would intrigue Phoenix:

    -Clint Capela
    -Isaiah Canaan OR Nick Johnson
    -New Orleans first round draft pick
    -Expiring contract player obtained via the traded player exception (Wilson Chandler, Tayshaun Prince, or Landry Fields)
    -high 2015 second round draft pick (obtained in separate deal for Donatas Motiejunas)
    -Alonzo Gee

    Probably someone makes a better offer than that but maybe not. Bledsoe gets a four year deal for max money or very close to it.

    In my opinion, Daryl Morey is trying to acquire either Bledsoe or Rajon Rondo for this basic package prior to the beginning of the season.

    Phoenix might need to throw in filler (e.g., Shavlik Randolph) to make it add up.

    If Bledsoe returns to pre-injury form then the Rockets are a championship contender in 2014-15.

    3 Team Trade
    Atlanta in: Amir Johnson, Alonzo Gee, Scotty Hopson
    Toronto in: Donatas Motiejunas, Terrence Jones
    Houston in: Paul Millsap

    Amir is in the final year of a non-guaranteed deal. What other sweetener(s) do you throw at the Hawks?

    This trade would ordinarily make sense but Toronto is the dark horse NBA Finals Eastern Conference candidate in 2014-15, and this trade really sets them back, short term

    I do like the idea of Paul Millsap to Houston for bits and pieces. Atlanta probably does not re-sign Paul Millsap next summer, when he'll be an unrestricted free agent again. This probably works:

    New Orleans first round pick
    Donatas Motiejunas
    Isaiah Canaan
    Alonzo Gee
    Scotty Hopson

    FOR

    Paul Millsap

    Although I suspect Daryl Morey would like to get a better haul for that New Oeleans firat round pick than one year's worth of Paul Millsap. And I like Millsap. I think Morey is gunning for Eric Bledsoe right now.

    Also, keep in mind that Atlanta likely prefers a high 2015 second round pick over the mediocre Motiejunas. So Houston can, in the near future, trade Motiejunas to, for example, Philly for a high 2015 second round pick, and later package the pick with other pieces for Millsap, or Bledsoe, or Rajon Rondo, or whoever.

    I don't think it will take that much to acquire Bledsoe if he signs 1 year qualifying offer instead of 4 year low ball.

    Be prepared to see the most r****ded trade I have ever came up with.

    3 way trade between Rockets, Celtics and 76'ers

    Papanikolaou, Jones, Motiejunas, Capela, Johnson, Pelicans 1st and all of our NG contracts to Celtics

    Joel Anthony, Victory Faverani, Canaan and Rockets future 2nd to the 76'ers

    Rondo, Green and Bass(TPE) to Rockets

    Celtics roster

    PG: Smart, Johnson, Pressey
    SG: Bradley, Thornton, Young
    SF: Turner, Papanikolaou, Wallace
    PF: Sullinger, Jones, Capela
    C : Olynyk, Motiejunas, Zeller

    76'ers roster

    PG: Carter-Williams, Maynor, Canaan
    SG: Shved, Wroten, McRae
    SF: Richardson, McDaniels, Grant
    PF: Moute, Moultrie
    C: Noel, Anthony, Faverani, Embiid

    Rockets roster

    PG: Rondo, Beverley, Smith
    SG: Harden, Daniels
    SF: Ariza
    PF: Green, Bass, Adrian
    C: Howard, Dorsey

    Sign center with BAE (O'Neal, Blatche, Okafor) and Garcia to veteran minimum.

    Verdict, every team would get what they need. Celtics a good Haul for Rondo(expiring), Green and Bass(expiring), all older players who don't fit with the team. 76'ers get future 2nd, Canaan for taking Anthony and Faverani's guaranteed contracts. Rockets get 3rd star in Rondo, upgrade at PF who can stretch the floor in Green, and Bass who will be a great spark off the bench with Beverley.

    Our Main rotation would look like...

    PG: Rondo, Beverley
    SG: Harden, Daniels
    SF: Ariza, Garcia/Green
    PF: Green, Bass
    C : Howard, O'Neal

    I'd go to war with that team. Lol so unrealistic doe, in morey I trust.

    PG: Bledsoe, Beverley, Johnson
    SG: Harden, Johnson, Daniels
    SF: Ariza, Garcia, Covington
    PF: Motiejunas, Adrien, Capela
    C: Howard, Motiejunas, Dorsey

    Imagine an all D lineup of Bledsoe, Bev, Ariza, Adrien, Howard to hold leads in 4 th. Covington could also be our stretch 4 but I think we make another move to shore up PF spot - TPE or BAE. In Morey we all should trust. :grin:

    I saw this on another forum...

    "CLE: Howard
    UTA: Kyrie
    HOU: Favors, Exum, Varejao

    Cleveland gets the ultimate big man, Utah gets a proven franchise point, and Houston resets with youth around Harden after missing on major free agents."

    At first it seems bad --> but this a trade we wish we would have made at the end of the 15-16 season. With nothing to show for Howard but broken dreams and a lot of what should have been. The TEAM is not ready yet, IMO.

    If we were to add Greg Monroe (D-Mo & NOH pick plus filler) into the mix - we would be a well rounded young team - with more upside then any other team in the league. OKC / POR /GSW included.

    If Minny doesn't want to pay Rubio big bucks, Denver doesn't want to pay Faried big bucks...

    Motiejunas, Canaan, Johnson Pelicans 1st and Rockets future 1st for Rubio(TPE) and Turiaf(TPE)

    Jones, Capela, Beverley, rights to Gentile/Llull and multiple 2nds for Faried and Robinson(TPE)

    PG: Rubio, Robinson, Smith
    SG: Harden, Daniels
    SF: Ariza, Garcia, Gee
    PF: Faried, Papanikolaou
    C : Howard, Turiaf, Dorsey

    Inactive : Hopson, Powell

    In this scenario we keep Papanikolaou, Gee, Hopson and Powell who are all non guaranteed and expiring, we could possibly package or trade them separately at the deadline for more bench upgrades.

    I don't think you can split up the TPE like that.

    I believe you can.

    E.G. (1) TPE of $8M
    (2) Trade for Player A with salary of $4M
    (3) $4M left of TPE
    (4) Trade for Player B with salary of $3M
    (5) $1M left of TPE

    RAJON ...... "MR. TRIPLEDOUBLE"..... RONDO

    That's all I have to say.

    Morey, do what you do.

    Brewer + Shved would be a nice get. Not interested in Rubio or his Fegan led max demands. Even without his max demands, he is a poor fit next to Harden.
