    No sides - only corners to be turned.

    According to this, not even soft evidence. A.) The GM also signed and drafted every other player on the roster. Shouldn’t the coach be fired right now too. The GM picked him.
    B.) Ariza has started every game he has played. Speak facts

    But the yes-it-will-happen crowd is missing an even more important fact: Trevor himself said just two months ago that he didn't like the culture of the Rockets' team. If he gets bought out, why would he want to come back to a team he didn't like if there are other teams competing for the title that he could join instead?

    I'd take Randle even if he doesn't "fit" exactly what the team does …. He's the best player of the group by far. Fills the stat sheet …. could play 3-4-5 depending upon matchups.

    Don't think he's really available tho.

    I missed that. When and in what context did he say that? I thought Codman (or cyberx?) said that Ariza was a key guy to bring positive influence in the Rockets locker room.

    I think he was referencing the Lowe article on Ariza:

    Would love to have ET Moore. He can shoot! Not sure how good his D is though. As far as the other guys, I would prefer WMatthews or DCarroll over Ariza. Who said Ariza is going for a buyout? He left Rockets for money, so why would he want a buyout?

    Bazemore is the only one that would fit in with the Rockets he can create his on shot from anywhere on the floor.

    We should do what the Lakers did for Tyson Chandler and push for a JR Smith buyout. Would be great in limited minutes off the bench.

    The Hornets have contacted the Wizards to inquire about the possibility of acquiring Bradley Beal, a source confirms to Rick Bonnell of The Charlotte Observer. Spencer Percy of Queen City Hoops (Twitter link) first linked Charlotte to Beal.

    Wizards get: Mirotic + Moore + Hill + Miller
    Pelicans get: Beal + Kelly Oubre + Mahinmi

    This trade would save Wizards $30 million+ next 2 years.
    At this moment, Pelicans have 40 million below tax line next summer.

    Even if the Wizards are open to listening, it’s not clear what sort of package the Hornets would be willing to put on the table for Beal. Percy suggests (via Twitter) that Marvin Williams and Jeremy Lamb‘s expiring contract might be a start for salary-matching purposes, with Miles Bridges, Malik Monk, and/or future first-round picks among the assets Charlotte could include in a proposal.

    He didn't dislike the culture of the Rockets team anymore than any other team in the NBA. He is still tight with a number of the Rockets' players and coaches. It more has to do with him feeling that the relationship is played out and he would like to play close to his home in LA. The Warriors and Lakers are both likely spots if he is bought out. I am sure the Rockets would love to have him back, but he has family dynamics to consider.

    Holiday would be a good fit too. He is very available.

    Chriss and First pick for Justin Holiday, Bulls would absolutely take it.

    Chriss/nene/first pick for Markieff morris, wizards would absolutely take it.

    It is very affordable for Tilman.

    I'd offer Knight/15-protected pick for JR Smith

    If you are hesitated, Pelicans will offer Solomon Hill for JR.

    You could be right. BUT... maybe not. He might have chosen the Suns specifically because of their lack of superstars (Booker and maybe Ayton are the closest they have). And yeah, the money was there, too, but he didn't wait to see what other offers he'd get.

    According to his own quotes, Trevor wants to be on a team where the players are treated as equals by the team and by each other. Then again, maybe after being on the freakin' Phoenix Suns for a few months, he'll get tired of losing and just being on a winning team will be his #1 priority.

    Regardless, it's quite a stretch to say that if he gets bought out, he'll choose Houston over the other contenders.

    Moore is a good defender. Even if he is traded, he won't be coming to Houston.

    Trade with Wizards please, they are so talented, otherwise it will be too late.
