    Even if we don't get Dwight, I like the way we are trying to build our draft picks. This is the right way to rebuild. Should've done this 2 years ago.

    Would be a great fit for him. Not really sure which power forward I'd want from them though.

    Knd of find this curious considering the emergence of Avery Bradley and signing of Terry.

    Perhaps they view bradley as more of a backup PG to Rondo?

    It would be pretty awesome if they could snag first rounders for Lee and Camby. If they could do the same with Scola and Martin, I don't know how Orlando could get a better offer than what the Rockets could offer.

    Bradley, Steisma, picks

    Any other assets I'm missing that Morey would potentially covet?

    No doubt that Les has had a shift in philosophy, probably after some convincing by Morey. They saw last year the being "competitive" while rebuilding does not mean fans will show up. Better off shortening the process, and they are going to do that by maximizing the return on all of these assets like Lee and Camby.

    Celtics got some decent assets:

    Avery Bradley
    The Celtics own 2013 first round draft pick
    2013 second round draft pick from Charlotte
    2013 second round draft pick from Minnesota

    We would have to take back some salary in a double sign&trade though. Chris Wilcox might work.

    I hVe a feeling Steisma will be overlooked in this conversation, but I can't think of a better young shot blocking center that could handle coming off the bench behind Asik.

    What would it take for them to give up Rondo? Or is now considered the Franchise player for them? If that's not possible I guess go for Bradley, since they don't really have a center either (KG is NOT a Center). Either that or more draft picks for the future.

    On my phone, but would something like:

    Steisma + pick for Lee work money wise?

    Stiemsma is a free agent though and apparently wants to play for the T-Wolves.

    So is getting the rights to Fab Melo out of the question?

    Well damn. Thanks for catching up to speed


    What's up with the offseasons love affair with the Timberwolves?

    Must be little Wicky

    I like it too, but I'm afraid they are all going to be shipped away for something really short sighted.

    Houston passed on him 3 times. One pick (18) of which, was in Fab Melo range.

    I just don't think the front office shares this boards love affair with Fab Melo.

    backup plan for Bradley's injury.

    I was really surprised at Bradley's development. It proves that you can't coach speed.

    I'll take -- Bradley/1st rounder for Lee & Cole/2nd rounder for Camby.

    Thanks!

    Possible picks for Camby and Lee? ... I'm excited to see what the Rockets will receive for Martin and Scola
