    Now we know there is a fire sale in the ATL, when do we start hearing the Josh Smith to Houston rumors? Isn't Josh supposed to be in our backup plans?

    The fire sale has started. Maury should jump on it. Its that supposed "opportunistic" time he is talking about to trade for players. Atlanta is selling right now.

    They're making a run at Dwight for themselves.

    I seriously doubt they are trading josh smith. His contract is expiring.

    Gotta go balls to the ball and get him. If Dwight comes along, fine...if not, then JSmith will be a very solid addition.

    A lineup of Asik, JSmith, and Parson...thats some top notch defense.

    Hawks have cleared up enough space to run at CP3 AND Dwight next offseason.

    Trade them Kevin Martin + Terrence Jones. They get an equal expiring contract and Jones for their trouble.

    Yes... and then trade Lowry, Scola and Patterson for Al Jefferson

    Gogi
    Lee/Lamb
    Parsons/White
    J-Smoove/D-Mo
    Al Jefferson/Camby

    Horford + Teague + Picks for Howard

    Smith is no longer on the table. Turn your attention to Lowry to Utah for one of their bigs.

    ATL is on a sale to get way under the cap...in order to have JSmoove and Dwight together...and then...he may be able to snag a CP3 the 2013 offseason...sick...

    Deron should consider going to Dallas...if he realistically wants to win... b/c Brooklyn has zero assets to trade for Dwight...i dont think the salary cap would work eithehr....

    The Rockets arent getting either Dwight or Josh...

    Sounds about right. Morey's plans are not coming together as perfect as it sounded a few years ago. Not sure where the Rockets are headed. Most players are spoken for and their destinations now. Only Eric Gordon and Asik's destination sound like they could potentially head this way at the moment.

    It appears to be shaping up exactly this way. So what do the Rockets do with Scola, Martin and Lowry?

    Nobody else really hoping that we can get al jeff from jazz? I know they have mo williams but he isn't a true point and is expiring next season. Lowry would be there point of the future, and we would be getting fair value player back in jefferson. Jefferson would fit in nice with asik, can also play backup center if we don't resign camby as well. Opening up more mins for our rookies at the 4. Really hope we can pull off a Jefferson for lowry deal. Leaving us with the ability to trade scola for a future pick and cap relief, and to trade martin and rookies for any deals that pop up (like eric gordan maybe).
