    I could see this, and would be fair for both teams.

    Ugh this is torture. Nothing is going to happen is it? Why do i do this to myself every year? Days of constant refreshing the GARM all day long has taken its toll on me.

    I'll limit my dream to keeping the picks or at least moving up a few more spots. Most likely wake up to us getting Pau Gasol and cry myself back to sleep with dreams of mediocrity.

    Nap time.

    Do the contracts allow this?

    LOL replying to myslef but .. i thought of a solution ... include the 12 and 18 to GS and morris/pat ...hopefully that will be enough for 7 . Now trade MArtin to Orlando for the 19 .... Wroten will fall that far for sure ... and no way ORL says no as martin is a really nice complement to their team. Only problem is if ORL cant take on MArtin salary .. THat would be funny if bud was traded for the 18th and MArtin can only fetch the 19th

    There's no way the Cavs would do that. Who would man the middle for them?

    As more and more time goes on I have a feeling no big deal is coming down draft night. I think if anything we move up a bit more and we actually keep our picks.

    After that we assess what we got and start moving players we don't want.

    Of course the way Morey has worked in the past, when you think nothing is going to happen it usually does.

    Do you think there is any chance that the Kings would move #5 without asking for Lowry in return?

    I know it seems far fetched, but if the Rockets give them all three picks plus Patterson as the primary part of the deal and even take back a bad contract (in return for the non-guaranteed deal of Livingston) then they could net the 5th pick and still have Lowry to offer in a trade.

    If they took Lillard at 5 out from under the Blazers nose (revenge for Brandon Roy) they could then coerce the Blazers into giving up the 6th pick for Lowry (since Portland is really wanting a PG).

    Then the could walk away from the draft with Lillard and Drummond.

    This might not be the most condusive to the Dwight deal, and it is dependant on being able to get 5 without Lowry (which is my question to the all knowing GARM), but I think those two guys, along with Dragic, Donatus, Parsons, and veterans like Lee, Camby and Scola would be a good way to truly rebuild while staying competitive.

    Why would Marcus ask him that and over twitter? It's not like he can be traded today. Morey better resign Camby so he can show Drummond the ropes :)

    And here's Camby, without a contract (yet!), hauling water for the Rockets. I love that guy! A good find... thanks.

    Good solution. If Orlando decides to hold onto Dwight, Martin seems like a guy that could help them. I'd want Reddick and his non guarenteed $6 million as a back up SG as well.

    Tells me he feels secure in that the Rockets want him back and he is amenable to the idea and he wants Dragic back.

    Good guy to have around, I like Camby, he tries hard even with only one arm.

    Throw in 18th for their 2 second rounders. They can get a nice center at #18.

    Yeah, that move was such a good one especially at the cost of only a 2nd rounder. Bringing in Camby let us kick Dalembert to the curb.

    I just hope he's either mentoring Drummond or backing up Howard next year. :)

    Whatever happens is gonna be a big surprise. That's how it always works with Morey. I don't think a big deal with Sac is gonna go down. Has to be a smokescreen at this point.

    Camby's the new Deke. We're gonna want to retire his jersey by the time he retires four years from now.
