Chandler/Nene to meet with Rockets

GOLD, Jerry, GOLD!

 

I watched Thabeet on our d league games, and he is awful. He was lost and couldn't affect the game. I wish it were different, but he completely lacks the instinctiveness that only comes from playing for numerous years.

 

Hope rocktes sign Nene. Hes a good player and would bring us multiple championships

 

They sent the cavalry!

Who is more impressive Larry or Kevin?

 

Capital Grille, huh? Fancy. My company Christmas party is there every year at the one by the Galleria.

 

Chandler is asking for $12M/y.

http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/news;_y...narowski_chris_paul_hornets_offers_nba_120611

 

Starting at $12m per year? Yikes.

 

Looking at Chandler's injury history this is a scary proposition. We have already dealt with Yao's brittleness before and I don't want more of that for a lesser center near the same money.

 

He was paid 12.6 million last year. I don't know exactly what you guys are expecting.

 

It's actually not bad. Remember the max raise for non-Bird FA is 4.5%, so a 4 year contract starting at $12 mil will pay no more than $12, $12.5, $13.1 and $13.7 mil during its term. The total is roughly $51.3 million (average $12.87 mil a year).

I'd take it.

 

If that is what it takes to get CP3, then go after Chandler instead of the Hilarious Baby.

 

http://www.chron.com/sports/rockets...th-free-agents-Chandler-Dalembert-2351222.php

 

If you get Chandler, does Chris Paul help force a trade?

1. Chris Paul
2.
3.
4.
5. Tyson Chandler

Who do we get to keep out of Kevin Martin and Luis Scola? Lowry would be a goner for sure...

We look exactly like the old Hornets... :grin:

 

You hope you can keep Martin because he will be jacking up open 3s all day with CP3 dishing it.

 

I don't know a ton about the new CBA, but I would give Chandler 3 year 33 Million and see if he would settle there. Chandler would really help Scola IMO.

Chandler/Hayes
Scola/Patterson

Is a group I like a lot.

 

Somehow we end up with Ariza and/or Landry

 

WojYahooNBA Adrian Wojnarowski
Rockets GM Daryl Morey traveled to meet free agent center Sam Dalembert in South Florida tonight, league sources tell Y!

 

I would replace Chandler with Dalembert there, he's cheaper and we could possibly keep cap space for next year and Howard

As for who to trade, a package of Lowry, Lee, Patterson, and a 1st should get the Hornets thinking. And we could still have enough depth to make the playoffs this year with a lineup of CP3, Martin, Bud, Scola, Dalembert. In off season, we may still have enough money to offer a max to Howard, and if not, we can let Kmart walk and still have a contender with Howard, CP3, scola etc. One can dream right ?
