Bazemore’s athletic, good defender and can hit the 3. Not much to complain about when we’re sending out Anderson. I’m guessing it will cost us a first, and I assume we will be able to dump Onuaku as well.
Can OPJ play small ball 4? He would make an interesting stretch four against Durant. Also how deadly would our bench be if we traded Ryno for Baze/Batum and still signed Hood. Paul/Harden/Melo/PJ/Capela Green/Gordon/Batum or Baze/Hood/Nene Although I could see us grabbing Trevor Booker over Hood in this scenario.
Dedmon for NeNe Dedmon for NeNe would be nice. I know never happen. http://www.espn.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=ybj6unce
This is the exact same thing that Windhorst reported a few days ago. I'm going to merge with that thread.
*Late Night Disclaimer---All this is from today's emails/texts/calls/lunch. I have a seat at the table, but I don't call shots. I develop professional relationships and friendships, so I hear a lot. No doubt, everything discussed comes from a solid place, but the outcome doesn't always work out. Please understand that I'm not in the same circle as a cool legend like Cyber Doc, Oeilpere. My Ears are solid, but the NBA is fast and will throw you out to the wolves. I've been feasted on plenty of times, just for listening and discussing it . Anyhoo----- Lots of names Floating around. We're active now, instead of everyone else who did their damage earlier. Morey plays the game at a different level. You have to embrace some bad cash for the bigger puzzle. Sometimes, you almost keep the entire real core (trev ) and build deeper (a la Sac Kings of the Bibby/Pejha/Webb era_ The Martian has been in play for awhile. Not that you need to, but I've mentioned the mutual interest in the past. Not a shocker. You have to add one more from here though. I wasn't worried about Melo the first time, and I was burned by Presti and stealing Dougie Buckets, but now, I've heard from good ears that it's an issue of time. CP has Melo ready for rebirth...and logically, there isn't a more perfect situation. I promised Melo before, and that changed in minutes. I'm happy to promise one more time after CP's work The timing is about which comes first...M370's departure from ATL or the 3 Pigs that may have to work together to stop the wolf. I'm hearing that Mel will be first, followed by a combo of a wing, backup for hurt CP3 times and/or a Big. I like Ry, and he could have worked, but he knows he's trade targer #1, he wants to play (locker room talk) and is open to a move. Very decent guy. He lost his confidence, but h'e not the only guy to blame. Even James will talk about not putting him in the best spots. Ryan was often forced to create his own shot...that's not why he was signed. We messed up there. ___________________ Broken record, but TC and Mike are close. Just like JoeBuckets. MDA wants guys who know his system. If there's a window, MDA will push to bring big fella home. Another time but PHX owes MDA...his exit wasn't done right. His players wated to go with him. Mike's loved by except Steve Kerr, Stevie Wonder could coach the DUbs into the playoffs...Kerr isn't impressive. He's just known for making 2 clutch shots in hs 20 year career. Also: well-known secret---it's common in circles that Kerr brought in Shaq to destroy MDA's entire philosophy that was successful. Kerr hated MDA enough to sabotage the team's chemistry for an obese center, all to force MDA out of PHX, I I know this with certainty, thanks to Thunder Dan. Sorry for the rant...but Kerr still operates as a chump. Put him on the Magic and see how he fairs/rant ______________ Mem and Sac are loud, All the Birds and a wildcard, AMason-lite (not our very own Tuck, but a versatile guy) is on the board in Miami. Not a happy locker room. **Everyone wants out of Minny. Poor Neutron. Was an option before The Introvert saga. Today, my guy told me that Wash wants in on the action. They have some log jams and have some needs. Our need may require more than one other team. DWIGHT....not! (The Warriors were interested in him because they like Low IQ bigs ...Javale...ZaZa..Erick Dampier ("I am better than Yao Ming) lol And yes, the Rox have a good, working relationship with the Wiz. Guys want playing time there, others want a chance for a ring. J has been right under our noses for a bit, and while there's some chirping and nothing imminent, there is a chance that we solve a few playoff problems without too much trouble. Okay, that was exhausting. Going to bed to avoid the flames. Please know, I just share what I hear. I want the best for all Rockets fans, so when/if these echoes come to fruition, that will be the gift. @Nachobar may know where this heads...claims he knows me....weird... Love to you all. Check your loved one for the Big C....it's vicious, but I ran again today. 3 days in a row. (Small victories for me lately). X0 for the love, the Love and the incoming love. Thanks for the goodness. Nite.
