    I am quite sure that Houston could have pulled it off. Morey is no longer looking for decent players that can be productive for a fair amount of time while coming at a cheap price.
    He went after Dorsey, Ish Smith instead. We are lucky that Terry has some game left at 37 yrs of age and Prigioni too. Mo Williams is 32 yrs old.

    IMO I do not see the allure of acquiring Larry Sanders throughout this thread. He's got off-the-court issues bleeding into the locker room and everyone who steps near his path. Why bring in a distraction when our locker room is starting to gel? Yes, everyone knows his size and "possible ceiling", but if he's not helping himself after so many occurrences, why assume we can?

    Hey, any interest in Gary Neal? He's the next likely buyout candidate.

    There is no need for Gary Neal on our team.

    Even if they did, he is a combo guard who would be a backup to Harden at best.
    We need a secondary playmaker who can shoot.

    Definitely. Too many cold shooting streaks happening now. One can only wish it's perfectly timed to be cured before postseason.

    You guys remember Toney Douglas? He's a FA now. Worth a punt?

    I think he's in Argentina after a million leg surgeries that went wrong.

    Brandon Jennings anyone? Looks like SVG is going with Reggie Jackson and Jennings was on the block at the trade deadline. He has 1 year left on his contract at 8.3m so leaves flexibility for 2016. He should be fully recovered from his injury by training camp. At the draft Jennings for K-Papa + Prigioni + McDaniels + NOP or NYK 2nd. Jennings main problem is that is is not that good of a point guard, more of a scoring guard. I think that would be good enough for what Houston needs.

    I don't ever really look for trades now. I'm pretty set on our team and just ready for FA really

    Terry/brewer/smith/DMo or jones I think by the end of the season will give us the strongest bench in the playoffs

    Things I wish for:

    Nate Robinson
    Kevin Durant
    Paul Pierce
    Rondo
    Maybe a couple more

    He's probably available but DET would laugh you off the phone with that garbage offer.

    Hoopshype is reporting Baron Davis is trying to make a comeback. He's 35 years old and supposedly is in shape.

    I'm just saying...

    Would you guys take Lowry back? 3 yrs/$36MM left on his contract (Year 3 is a Player Option). He's only 29, but his body has taken a beating and he's not looking good right now. If Toronto flames out, there could be a

    Jimmy butler

    Any chance Bulls be bulls and lowball butler? He is from humble and would be fantastic next to harden.

    Just excited for the game and watching him play right now
