Dragic will be too expensive for us to re-sign and we need somebody capable of playing PG going forward with Lowry out. Pacers need a upgrade at PG and some help in the rebounding department. So... Dragic and Jordan Hill for George Hill and Amundson?
This is what I'm most afraid of. At the very least we need to get rid of Martin. I'm gonna be pissed if we do nothing. This team needs a huge shakeup to get things on track.
http://espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=8495zpd This would be a nice trade to pull off. LAL receives - Luis Scola, Mo Williams, & Hasheem Thabeet. LAC receive - Stephen Jackson HOU receives - Pau Gasol & Ersan Ilyasova MIL receives - Kevin Martin, Jordan Hill, & 1st round pick via HOU
OKC- Harden, Muhammed, Ivey HOU- Lee, Dalembert, Dragic, Patterson http://espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=7gtalt2 NO- Okafor, Belinelli, NO 1st rd unprotected HOU- Martin, Morris, Thabeet, MIN 2nd rd http://espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=87ae39v Lowry, Flynn, Ivey Harden, Williams, Belinelli Parsons, Budinger Scola, Hill, Smith Okafor, Muhammed I said I'd stop with the ideas but I believe it works for all teams involved and for Houston, we start a quick rebuilding process. Grab Harden and NO 1st at the price of Okafor's contract. Potentially having 3 lottery picks, though I hope we make the playoffs and give the pick we owe NJ. Draft Kidd-Gilchrist with NO pick and Leonard with NY pick if they enter the draft and look to a bright future. Starters- Lowry, Harden, MKG, D-Mo, Okafor Bench- Bud, Parsons, Scola, Leonard
It would be awesome if we could somehow get James Harden in a Rockets uniform. Harden and Lowry would be an awesome duo to build around.

I really hope something happens...or Darryl / Les are going to have empty seats at toyota center and a lot of angry fans.
Most of them are SG, they don't distribute (Shumpert, Douglas, JR Smith, B Davis). Lin would be the only one close to a true PG. I think Dragic right now is a good fit for D'Antoni over Lin. Plus he has playoff experience. Knicks are 11-19 with Melo as a starter this year. pipes dream though, they won't get rid of Melo just like that, will they?
http://games.espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=7aqcr this trade solves all are promblems and everyone wins

How about this one: LA gets Dragic, Scola, Martin and NY 2012 1st Houston gets Gasol Oh wait that one has already been mentioned.
There is a reason the Knicks are 11-19 and the Nuggets all of a sudden got better without Melo last year. That reason is good enough for us to not trade for him.
Rockets get: A. Bogut, P. Gasol, and S. Jackson Bucks get: K. Lowry, S. Dalembert, and K. Martin Lakers get: B. Jennings, L. Scola, T. Williams, and H. Thabeet I am at work so I can't check the trade checker but it should be close on money.
Proposal: Lakers get: Terrence Williams, Stephen Jackson, Luke Ridnour Wolves get: Pau Gasol Rockets get: Michael Beasley, $400,000 cash Bucks get: Devin Ebanks, Steve Blake
I love that the Rox organization always keeps deals relatively on the down-low. I hate that we don't have the juicy rumors.
