    Yeah we must be really desperate to be willing to buy low on a quality starting PG that averaged 15 and 9 with under 3 turnovers. I know Lawson have been ****ing up off the court, but don't forget that he's a good player.

    The perfect pg who can jump start our offense. Harden can go back to his natural position. Him/beverley will give any pg combo fits.

    Not like that. He is the new Detroit's GM.

    I like Lawson's game. I think he can fit in well along with Harden, if his head is straight.

    Are you kidding me? You are basically pairing a whoremonger with a washed up drunkard. Off court is bound to show up on court. A better option would be to wait if we have to.

    So all this about waiving him and now this?

    Sounds like the Nuggets are not very happy with Morey's lowball offer...

    We need some kind of splash please. My heart was hurt from Josh Smith going to the Clippers. We need to get a little bit of a pick-me-up.

    Sorry, we aren't in church or asking these guys to teach our kids. Calling them drunks and whoremonger and washed up doesn't speak to their basketball skills. It sounds like you would also like to get rid of the "whoremongering" Harden as well. I'm sure you don't like Dwight "many baby mama's, I'm being accused of child abuse" either. I'm happy with Dwight and Harden. I would also love to have Lawson on our team. I would hope that the Rockets can give him some help and guidance to help the young man focus on his career and solve his off court issues.

    If we get Lawson, make sure he never hangs out with Steve Francis

    I don't think that Morey can offer less than TJones, Kpap, Prigs and Dorsey for a trade to work. That's not a lowball offer imho. If they want a little cash to pay off Prigs and Dorsey, I would hope Morey would throw that in as well.

    Now if Denver wants all of that, plus another asset or two such as one of our youngs and/or draft picks, I could see why Morey would hold out because no other team is probably gonna beat the first offer. Although I would add another asset because to me getting Lawson would make that much of a difference to our team; I could definitely understand if Morey would not do so because no one else is offering a better deal more than likely.

    The only problem with that train of thought is that is exactly what just happened with Josh Smith. No one was really offering more than the 2.5 million BAE, but Josh took something lower for whatever reason we are all still guessing about. I would hope that Denver doesn't take another teams trade just to spite Morey because he won't give them exactly what they want....but it could happen.

    This game is chess will get interesting. I hope Morey wins and makes this trade soon.

    I don't want to get rid of anyone on the team. I just don't want to put another party animal next to our own.

    Someone told me that today egalitarianism is men's rights ideology. Just thought I'd set the bar low and say the stupidest thing in the thread.
