1560: Will be on "No Layups" show tonight (2/15) at 7:15pm

I think Manu would be a great idea for next year. This would make Battier expendable. Maybe a swap for Hinrich if he is still available? Bulls would like a defender to play with Wade next year.

Also, with Lowry and Hinrich at the PG, this would make AB available to play in a Jason Terry 6th man role. Lowry and Hinrich both have the ability to guard the 2 spot. AB could run the 2 on offense and guard the 1 on defense. This all depends on how much growth Brooks has this off season.

 

Thanks for taking the question guys...

I agree, he's a great complimentary piece... But next year I think he's a 30 minute per game guy, not 38. I even think he ought to be at 32-34 minutes this year so that Chase and Jermaine can get some more minutes.

Watching Trevor try to create off the dribble is so extremely painful to watch. I can't wait until he returns to his appropriate role.

 

Any truths to the Jamison to Houston rumors?

 

Thanks!

 

Clutch on

DN: Dave joining us.

...

DN: Talk trade deadline. Had Bill on, sometimes get frustrated with what he says.

C: According to Yahoo and Adrian, he's been a great source. T-Mac, Cook, Dorsey for Jefferies, Harrington or Hughes, and Hill. What I like are the picks included. The way I see it, shows unpredictability of DM and predictability of Les. Adding 3 solid assets. Good move for them.

DN: Got Dave with us. People snap around td time.(joking) Roster balance - all these deals we hear are about getting 3s. Again, you have multitude of 4s and 3s in this trade

C: Bar will be raised next year. They'll be able to flip Jefferies with his expiring next year. Hill is a raw prospect. They'll be in a good position with this trade, hopefully this year and next.

DN: For this season, if this goes through, lineup wise?

C: If this was only deal, not sure this will help that much. I am curious what else could be in the works. Scola being moved could be moved if talking additional deals. If this deal alone, not much impact this season. Harrington could maybe be flipped.

RR: I like it because you're not losing additional pieces from the lineup. W/ 31 games left, hearing anything about a wing player?

C: Nothing really. Rockets were interested in Kevin Martin and would of like to seen Sac budge on him.

RR: Phones open...Opinions welcomed. Biggest thing they'll have to do with 31 games left?

C: Offense and defense. They need scoring. Had problems scoring.

...

RedRowdy: Last deal on the table? Was this plan Z?

C: Knicks I thought were fallback plan. A positive for the Rockets though. Knicks going all in for this summer. Going into good position this summer.

RedRowdy: Not really getting a scorer or go to guy.

C: Agree. Hoping to see Brooks grow. In trade aspect, they could see their value increase. Rockets wont abandon this season. We could see a second move. Maybe a PF is moved. They do need a wing scorer.

...

C: Bar will be raised again next season. Getting Yao will help. Don't like the other names thrown around besides Martin. They'll be in good position this summer for maybe adding a second "star".

:Addresses Worzel question:

DN: Could be a potential other move.

C: Al a possibility to be flipped.

DN: I think we have Morey rules. Knows how to find young talent. Why shouldn't we not trust him.

C: If you know Houston, under Morey, they've done their homework in the draft. For them to make this move for Hill, they believe in him; has a future and potential.

DN: Guam's awesome.

Takes YoYo's call. Takes a shot at Tracy lol.

YoYo: Players in the S&T market?

DN: In McGrady's case, I think he is a S&T possibility.

C: If they couldn't find a place for him now, why would they do it later? As for YoYo ?, I think that is a key. All about the S&T. How many valuable assets can you obtain? Houston positioned nice in that regard for S&T. They will have assets. Gotta find that team that is giving up. Maybe PHX, Toronto, or Miami if say Wade wanted out. They'd want young pieces. Hard for me to look at one situation. Even if not a S&T, things could change in GS for example.

Address TA question - why isnt he seeing less minutes, and more for younger players, etc.

DN: They believe in him.

END
