But they get Brockman, too! Maybe, if we take Garcia back? Would cut into our cap room, but would give us an expiring to trade. Maybe offer #12, #18 and the Mavs pick instead of #12, #16.
David Aldridge: Sources: Rockets still trying to get into top five, latest offer to Kings rejected. Story up soon
for the fifth pick i would trade 12 and 16, D-mo Patrick patterson then i would try and trade lowry for the 6th pick or the raptors 8th pick
Quote: Sam Amick: I'm now hearing once again that [the Kings] may go big in an attempt to find a complement for young center DeMarcus Cousins. Spoiler
Spoiler Spoiler Wish that where the rockets! I really do think a frontcourt of Patterson&Cousins is championship quality. Maybe not now but in a few years with the right pieces. It is all about who you know and your ties these days. I bet the Kentucky crew Want to all be on the same team some day Wall, Harrellson, Miller.
Among several avenues the Rockets are exploring would be a trade with Sacramento for the No. 5 pick in a deal that likely would send Tyreke Evans to Houston, sources said. The teams have discussed several scenarios, and while one person briefed on the talks described the deal as "getting close," rival executives have gotten the strong impression that the Kings are steadfastly resisting the Rockets' overtures.

I'd reject that, too. Must be more to it. Or, there will be more to it now. Morey'll keep trying. Uh, do we really want Tyreke Evans?
Straight up Salary dump plus two picks to keep for our selves. 12, 16, 18 picks will most likely be used in trades. So we keep 21st and 22nd for our selves and take Jeff Taylor and Fab Melo. Boston can absorb his contract if they want. He would be a massive massive upgrade over Bass (he has opted out anyways). They resign KG to play at 5 and Boston is back in business. Rondo, Bradley, Pierce, Scola, KG.
12 and Lowry for 6. Draft Lillard. 16, mavs pick, scola for j smith 18 and Martin for pau Monster offer to Gordon Lillard / Fortsen / Livingston Gordon / lee Parsons / Morris Smith / dmo Pau / leuer Let Dragic walk.
If 12 and Klow get us 6 - great - but ill take drummond... 16, mavs pick, scola for JSmith - im all over that! I have no interest in Paus poison contract..... use 18 for a sg or pg (whoever falls - Rivers,waiters, teague...) Trade Kmart for pick - and grab Fab Melo resign dragic, lee Dragic/Livingston CLee/ #18 Parsons/MMo JSmith/Leurer/DMo Drummond/Fab/Dmo CLee
Been discussions about Atlanta wanting Pau Gasol....so..... Trade #1 Trade Scola & #16 to LA LA trade Pau Gasol to Atlanta Atlanta trade Josh Smith to Houston... Trade #2 Lowry to Portland for #6 Draft Drummond with #6 Draft Perry Jones III with #12 Draft Kendall Marshall with #18 Sign Dragic (6mil/year)/Lee(5mil/year)/Camby(2.5mil/year) Offer max to Eric Gordon (12mil/year) Dragic/Marshall Gordon/Lee Parson/Morris/Jones Smith/Patterson/DMo Drummond/DMo/Camby
Patterson + #12 + Future 1st rd pick (from Dallas) for #5 and Chuck Lowry + #16 for #8 then either: a) #5, #8, #18, Morris, D-mo, (possibly Martin) for Dwight, (possibly Turkoglu) b) Keep #5 and #8 for yourself, trade Scola for cap flexibility next summer and jumpstart rebuilding. I know Les prefers option A, but I think Morey might have sold him on this draft based on the Budinger and Dalembert trades (since there is no guarantee Dwight will be available and we are trading key pieces away for draft picks).
