    I love that for the Pels. Asik and AD will be AWESOME on D.

    Makes sense. Could we sign at least Lowry now? Maybe dropping someone like Covington?

    And all of a sudden the Rockets need a back up for Dwight.

    Well wasn't that the point of this trade? If not then I'm confused

    NO got a steal especially with the first rounder. Now with Anthony Davis, they will be good next year.

    Hornets will be a really really really good team within 2-3 years!

    Broussard speaking out of his a$$... but he's so desperate to be in the know that he might actually be onto something... he has to be correct on something and he has been right within the past couple of days

    This tweet is confusing. Does he mean to partner with Harden and Dwight or instead Harden included in a S&T?

    I think it suggest very strongly that there weren't many owners wanting any part of Asik's poison pill contract.

    Why are they doing this so early? Unless they know for sure Melo or Lebron is coming they won't do this...

    WOW...appears (from this tweet) that Morey values Dwight even MORE than Harden, especially if it means they could possibly get BOTH Melo and LeBron!

    Henson on the Bucks looks good.

    Can someone ban J.R. please? No room for people who repeat Chris Broussard's ****.

    Asik and Davis in the front court are going to be damn good for a long time.
