[Woj] Rockets finalizing deal to send Omer Asik to New Orleans

This sandwich is delicious. But I have not heard anything close about James Harden being traded. No boys, no.

 

Chances we add a Star FA?

 

Yeah, I didn't think so. Just speculation from "Multiple Sources" Broussard trying to stir up some crap.

 

Lebron changed all of that... there wont be a bidding war for Melo, bc he isnt the biggest fish in the sea. And teams will just find ways to clear caps space unloading expirings in order to provide up to the max...

 

Sorry for the stupid question, just not sure how the trade of picks works, protected first rounder? and what happens if its pick 1-3 or after 19?

 

I don't think Lebron Melo + Dwight is any better than Lebron Wade and Bosh. Bosh can shoot from anywhere while Dwight can't. But Howard has low post and dominate inside. Dwade is better than Anthony because he has move that are consistent and clutch. I think Harden Lebron and Dwight is better. Both Harden and Lebron can attack the basket at will while Dwight is always unguardable inside.

 

I just tried to give you rep but i have to spread it around. Apparently, you've now become my second favorite poster after JR.

Thanks...

 

New Orleans keeps it and we do it all over again next year.

 

Same here. They shoot fireworks twice a year. The big day only comes once.

Building a family, making a home... this has got to be about a player that is not well liked. Maybe Lowry? Rondo/LeBron don't like each other? I think we all know Harden would prefer KD, but winning bonds brothers?

I think Codman is talking about a player we aren't thinking about.

Don't try to sneak anything past us! I'm assuming this is not about Earl of Sandwich, but you and doc rocket mentioned eating. Gotta figure this one out.

Edit: Apparently they call Aldridge "Lunchmeat".

You think Dwade is better than Melo? More clutch? Ok

Melo is gona have to work hard to rid himself of the image of his Denver days....i guess it's his own fault. There is only one other prolific scorer in the league other than Melo and that's Durant. But what makes Melo even more "clutch/lethal" is that he can do it on the block as well. He gets a bad wrap and he's just gona have to convince people he's not this selfish ball hog.

 

Pelicans are like a rehab ward. I suspect injuries will limit them; if they do get healthy, look out. I wonder how Anderson's doing after cervical disc surgery... Ryan Anderson and Channing Frye might be gettable stretch 4s.

Maybe there is more to our deal?

 

Unless its a threw way, unlikely.

 

If it wasn't for our free agent chase i'm sure we would of gladly swapped Asik for Anderson and Rivers, but no our deal is pretty much done. NOP just has to clear the space to receive Asik, which is why they are looking to dump Anderson and Rivers some where else.

 

I'm thinking more in the lines of participating in a three way to acquire another star. Maybe we send our draft pick to them and they send Anderson and Rivers to Minnesota.

 

i'd rather just get lebron and call it a day. getting carmelo with him would just be like a fat kid eating that 12th pie. it stops being basketball at that point and just an NBA2K trial run.

Totally agree with that, I don't want Lebrun I want to beat him though, let's get love or melo and beat everyone including the libron

 

Possibly, but with Anderson's injury, I don't see much value at all with between him and Rivers.
