    Could we have acquired Lillard? Portland is now willing to trade him to the highest bidder.

    We could have taken Lillard and Simons for Garuba, Christopher, Tyty, KJM, 3 future first round picks and multiple second round picks. Are they really going to get a better deal than this unmatchable cap relief (Lillard + Simons annual salary of $60m) and a ton of young assets?

    How about Jaymicheal Green? Just for kicks, to be able to play three J.Greens in the lineups…

    I never knew Torrey Craig could have such an impact.

    more minutes from Sengun
    The Australian sensation Landale
    Old man green
    Little man Tate
    Boban the Giant
    Small ball smith
    Lockem up one to five DB

    I'm not sure what point the cap relief would be for them? They already paid Jerami Grant, so most likely want to see what they have in their current crop of young guards - all of whom are superior prospects to Christopher and TyTy. So I doubt they would dump Simons - the idea behind moving him was to bring veteran help to play next to Dame. If Dame goes, then Simons stays?

    Also, if Lillard asked to be traded away from Portland, why would he be happy playing in Houston? I don't see the logic in it in the real world!

    He would definitely (and correctly) view it as a downgrade and would demand another trade before the deadline rolls around.

    But you can’t go Brook. I already made a back room deal with Milwaukee. Do it for the family.

    Why? The Rockets need shooting which they don’t provide.
