    Well, at least this @cyberx thread isn't being derailed and ruined by people questioning his sources. But mind-numbing narcissism nonetheless, Nancy.

    That statement makes no sense. How would you know I forgot anything and responded to myself? You just spouting nonsense to see if it sticks.

    Morey is exploring all possible deals, but most aren't realistic. I'm hearing Morey wants another forward and guard. A lot of people want a rim protector, but that does not seem to be the focus. Rockets can be linked to Wilson Chandler and Gallo, but those deals may not work unless Denver really wants to move them and lowers their asking price as the deadline nears. Most teams want Dekker, which is expected. Morey won't give him up, which is expected... As a result, Morey could go for someone that could be had for cheap.

    Nikola Mirotic is an option if Morey isn't able to get Gallo or Chandler. Corey Brewer would be included in the deal I would assume, which allows Morey to get rid of his contract along with possibly getting an upgrade. Mirotic is having a down season and could use a change of scenery. We'll see how this all plays out, but I wouldn't be surprised if Rockets trade for Mirotic.

    Along with a forward, the Rockets really want a 4th guard. Bev or Gordon goes down and this team struggles. MDA doesn't trust Brown or Ennis, so adding a guard like Chalmers or Jack makes sense. I don't see them trading for a guard, so exploring the buyout market and current FAs seem likely.

    We'll have to wait and see what all happens. Can't complain with the roster that much based on their record and how the chemistry is. Looking forward to the playoffs, yes this team could use an upgrade or 2.

    "Lyrically" is the word that riled you up? No problem with threat of "poopis" violation?!!?

    It's always noisy going into the ASB, and just before the deadline, it's damn loud.

    Props to Cyber for the Wilson Chandler information. That would make our team more dynamic...that's for sure. I have not heard much on that front, but WC is adamant about leaving Denver, so teams are going to listen. He's definitely talented and has come back strong after injuries. Denver has quite a few guys that are allegedly unhappy with their roles/coach. Then again, this happens every year in the Mile High. When players mature and finally get tired of consecutive years of losing, a fresh start isn't as scary as it is welcomed. I'm not telling you anything you don't know...

    Houston wants to get bigger and add depth. Tweaks are the current discussion, not necessarily earth-shattering moves. BUT...pressure makes diamonds as the hours loom. As I've mentioned, it's all about how much heartbreak you're willing to take as you build. Some moves would ice your heart---or at least tender it up--but do you fix something that's 3rd and not broken? So, yeah, the tweaks are louder today. Our usual suspects (or are they assets this time around?) are still in play...we're a happy group for the most part, but there are a few unhappy campers. A few can only blame themselves for being outplayed and forgetting that teammates know when you're genuine in your support/when your support is around only for the moment. The subtle noise comes out of Lucky #7 (Could be Slevin, too, because those boys don't recognize each other anymore). That's the ongoing implosion we could help facilitate. Kidd's kids have whispered a bit, too... Look for the falls...

    Wish I were at ASW this year, but home is nice as well.

    As always, will lend an Ear to ya'll as I can/hear.

    Peace&L0v3

    To be honest Wilson Chandler would be enough to put this team on the level of SAS, still the underdog compared to GSW and CLE (with healthy Love, not now with injured Love) but definitely in the mix.

    The big man isn't a big deal because non of the contenders feature dominant post scorers, LMA and Lebron play in the post but both have a face up game and Pau Gasol is old. This makes a guy like Wilson Chandler invaluable because he is extremely athletic and when switching can defend all 5 positions, Pau Gasol, Draymond Green and whoever the Cavs have at C (Tristan Thompson?) can all be defended by face up D or fronting.

    On offense, a wing will give equal or better contribution to a big because they will keep the paint free while still being able to slash and do PNRs. The problem is Denver is stingy AF, doubt they let Chandler or basically any asset of theirs go without a fight. I would be a fan of Gallo but he's injury prone, on the decline due to knee issues and we already have Anderson who's basically a less athletic but better shooting and more healthy Gallo.

    Well then, the fella has spoken.


    Just want to add, those boys want out of Denver because of that high-altitude. Ain't no way to live! They want to come down South. Easy breathing. Haha.

    The Rox better be in play for W. Chandler, though!

    Will Barton would be the ideal get. Barton and Gordon off the bench man that's a lot of offense.

    Thanks @Codman for the info... also for resurrecting this thread.

    Children these days don't get enough attention at home, it seems.

    Thanks Cod. Sounds like BOS, NY and MIL are in play, if I'm interpreting your words correctly. Now who might that mean?

    Pfff cherry pickin...go look who started the "Corey brewer has to go" thread.

    You still don't seem to understand what I'm saying about trade talk. In one breath people are using lame ass name calling and in the next using him as key piece to trading For a good player. Which is it? People aren't desperate to jump in sewers. GMs are not calling money to inquire about him.

    Speaking of name calling....

    Welcome, Cod, we always look forward to whatever info you can share.

    #7......Melo? We could facilitate it, meaning Melo to another team and someone else to us?

    I keep looking for other #7's around the league. Somehow I don't see Thon Maker making subtle noise.

    Speculation along with talking to some people who know a little bit. As always though, trust @cyberx and @Codman. I was just posting something that hasn't really been talked about and thought it could be useful to know...
