Hawks get a good backup power forward on a cheap contract in Patterson and a good backup pg in Douglas that's an expiring contract. A young pf prospect in Jones and an expiring contract in Aldrich whom they could just cut after the deal is made.

Rockets get their pf for the future in Smith and a veteran pf to ride the bench in Tolliver.

All in all I think this deal works well for both teams.

 

More like this works well for the Rockets. This isn't even close to realistic.

 

Whatr do you guys think about signing Earl Clark as a free agent. He's averaging 12.8 points and 10.3 rebounds per 36 minutes on 49.1 percent shooting. He's hitting on a team-best 48.3 percent of his attempts from downtown and is one of three Lakers (Dwight Howard, Jordan Hill) averaging a double-double per 36 minutes. Offer him the Lin/Asik contract type deal. I think the same restrictions apply. He seems like a good dude and sounds like Mase.

 

No, the Gilbert Arenas restriction does not apply. That salary restriction is only for free agents with 2 or less years of experience in the NBA. At the end of this season, Earl Clark would have 4 yrs in the NBA.

 

He would be an awesome addition to the team but I don't think those poison contract offer work with the Lakers. They have a huge TV contract that is a stupidly huge amount.

Sacramento gets a solid return for their head ache pieces. Sacramento's is not ideal but they needed work in the first place. At least after this trade they would have a problem free center and two young pieces in Rivers and Patterson.

New Orleans improves their wing. I actually think the New Orleans lineup is pretty damn good I think they would make this trade.

We improve our front court without spending any extra salary or losing many of our young assets. I think our team could get Cousins on track. I would rather take a chance on him then an injury riddled Howard or Bynum for a lot more salary.

Respective line ups

Vasquez
Gordon
Evans
Davis
Lopez

Douglas
Thorton
Salmons
Patterson
Asik

Lin
Harden
Parsons
Anderson
Cousins

 

You have to keep PPat around to improve that chance of getting "Cousins on track."

Gortat and Landry would be the two pieces i would be after in a trade. Their hussle alone would be ideal. Harden, Asik, Lin, & Parsons would be untouchable everything remaining could be used in a trade. You could have twin towers in Gortat and Asik.

 

I personally don't think the twin towers style of play fits well with Harden's or Lin's game. They need space to operate.

 

Fine then we offer him a 3 year deal for 8 per plus a team option on a 4th year. He would be a good fit as he is young with no ego issues no to mention he has range and decent defense. If he develops it would be the perfect addition to the roster the extra money could go towards a backup center and bench. If nothing else it will sting the Lakers a little bit. This rotation would be enough to compete with any starting five in a year or two...assuming the other players develop as well. I am pretty sure Morey has looked into this already. I am an optimist and view him as the final piece to challenge OKC.

 

My god, are we talking about Earl Clark, NBA Journeyman here? $8 mil/year for a journeyman? Seriously?

 

The only player signing that can upgrade the team to be a contender is DH12.

Other players like J.Smith is only an improvement.

 

fellows what are your thoughts about this one???

it would give us a really good defender and rebounder and true veteran leadership
and at the same time the Celtics would have more depth....

 

Really? I could name a few others.

 

If we could get KG for that cheap I would be on board but Celtics would probably want Lin or Asik and I am sure their preference would be Asik considering KG plays center for them now.
