[CBS Sports] Howard no lock for Lakers; interested in Rockets

Also, Earl Boykins still affects our salary cap apparently.

 

Wow, huge fail...

 

Hmmm, Lin vs Nash discussion brought up by cyberx in a Howard thread, what does that mean?

 

So in your scenario if you trade TJones away for a future pick, you can see we could conceivably sign both Dwight and Paul outright.

By the way, if Dwight and Paul both decided they wanted to come here and Morey wanted to both of them...it would never come to this. Clippers would want to execute a Sign and Trade for anything of value rather than let Paul walk for nothing. The only thing Morey has to do is start putting together the salary dumps of converting Asik/Lin/TRob/TJones/RWhite/Ohlbrecht/Smith into future draft picks. IT would be easy to do. Just start with the Celtics. Offer them Asik/Lin/TRob for Rondo/CLee. Done deal. Then Offer Rondo/White/Lee around to a team like Utah, possibly Atlanta for nothing but air and a couple draft picks.

Once LAC and LAL saw this thing unraveling that way, they'd be at the table with Morey begging and pleading for sign and trades.

 

6 weeks to go till he's a free agent.

 

Haha we can argue about how 'easy' it would be for Morey to do all those aforementioned steps, but if he made the necessary moves, yes, we could have CP3 and D12 I imagine. If the two would take minor pay cuts like the Heat Trio did, our life would be even easier.

 

Wait, isn't that what my 4 x $490k = $~$2M for? Can also hope cap goes up to $61M for ease of math.

 

That's pretty much what's has been said of the Spurs and Nash for the last 6 or 8 years.

 

does nobody else see the irony in cybrex reporting about how the GS deal was all a ploy to see who the leak was?

ummm... cybrex, aren't YOU the leak?

 

Parker is 8 years younger than Nash.
Manu is 4 years younger than Nash
Duncan is 2 years younger than Nash.

 

But this yr we actually saw it happen with Nash, while the Spurs keep going deep in the playoffs :S

And seriously, he is 39 after all lol.

 

Will Dwight and CP3 decide to team up in wherever they land this summer? If so...

When pitching the prospect of playing in Houston, will Dwight and CP3 be asked to take a pay cut in order to team up here? Hypothetically. It will allow us to use up that free space to get role players to fill out our roster. ALA taking the LeBron/Bosh/Wade route is the only way for success IMO as oppose to 3 maxed out players. Dunno.

 

Nash was injured like how Parker and Manu were a few years back. People were claiming their careers as star players were supposedly over then. Nash still managed to shoot 49.7% from the field playing hurt.

 

They weren't turning 40 back then.

 

Short list according to this link:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o...ional_Basketball_Association_players#All-time

Player / Birthdate / Last Game / Age
Bob Cousy / August 9, 1928 / January 6, 1970 / 41 years, 150 days
John Stockton / March 26, 1962 / April 30, 2003 / 41 years, 35 days
Jason Kidd / March 23, 1973 / Currently active / 40 years, 60 days
Steve Nash / February 7, 1974 / Currently active / 39 years, 104 days

 

Missed that, sorry.

 

Don't forget that Parsons will not be making $900K forever. I believe he can walk next year and Clippers rumor mill has him joining his friend Blake Griffin in LA. So instead of that plan, I think the Clippers will go ahead and keep CP3 and also take Parsons off your list too.

 

He is staying in Houston unless he gets offered a max contract from some crazy team.

 

he cant walk anywhere, hes still on his rookie contract and his final 2 years are a team option. i doubt the rockets dont pick up his option..
