    The problem with that is we have seen all 5 of them together last year and they wern't very good. I wouldn't give up Davis to to be the pre-Lebron Lakers. Well, that assumes I was a GM and I had a choice. But my point is, even at all five, I keep looking.

    Randle is sub par defensively.

    Wow, I'm surprised why would Marcus be on the trade block. He has been very steady for them, unless he is being packaged for Davis.

    @Codman you think the Rockets got a shot at AD?

    Rockets made Dmo available long time ago. New Orleans snatched him.

    We might not have the assets for AD, but I am pretty sure we have the draft picks to pick up either Randle or Mirotic. That Randle dude always go Jordan on us.

    Other teams are not interested in offering First. I think there is a good chance.
    Get nothing without offering First.

    He's steady, but Boston can't trade for Davis until this summer due to the Rose rule and Morris is a free agent by then. If they could get a pick for Morris now it can be included in a Davis package later, but that would hurt their performance this postseason. I wonder if he really is on the block. I don't think he's a perfect fit for us. Playing above his head currently.

    I hope we don't go into a bidding war for Mirotic...

    Mirotic would be perfect for our offense but would get torched in our switching defense a la Melo and Ryan Anderson. Randle is not much better of a defender if targeted in a switching defense. He's also not a good rim protector evidenced by the Pelicans' defensive rating and his on/off numbers.

    Randle would be the ideal fit but we have Faried who is also a great backup big. The Rockets need a SF/PF wing that can hit 3s & defend. If we gotta give up EG let him go. Jalen Brown would be my target if I'm Morey

    Moore would be a nice pick up. I think he has a 6'10 wingspan and an excellent shooter. Green's defense is just terrible and Ennis can play hard but do some boneheaded stuff.

    I think Moore would be a pretty solid guy to get if we trade Gordon for a better player.

    As for the big man, i think Mirotic fits more here...the problem i have with these guys is that they're having a good season, and both are free agents this summer, there's a good chance someone is going to overpay for them.
