    JR has 4 of the first 6 threads in the GARM breaking news. I'm seriously thinking he's got like 4 screens up on his desk with servers stacked up in his office. Screw day trading.....breaking Rox news is where it's at. I don't rep much....but when I do it'll be for JR now.

    Rather keep Lin and Asik rather than get Rondo. Rondo is great with the ball in his hands, but I like Harden controlling the ball more.

    Yes, it's overload time. Would they do this unless they already had some sort of off-the-record verbal commitment? They are already blowing up the team...

    I get waiving Brooks and Delfino, but Lin and Asik are cornerstone players. Why shop them unless you are 100% SURE?!?

    (which tells me, the F/O is 100% sure, and they are not wasting any time in using the assets they've accumulated to build a serviceable team around Harden/Howard/Parsons, because our bench will be decimated if we don't...)

    McHale just has to remind Ainge of how he got Boston a championship by shipping Garnett there. Time to return the favour :)

    And also, with a likely eye on ANOTHER star if they are shedding both Lin and Asik...

    This is getting a bit dangerous. We're starting to mess with chemistry... I'm a little worried.

    Lowry isn't coming here if McHale is still here. He was released for this whole reason...

    You think Parsons is going to be a perennial allstar for sure?!
    You are confident.

    It doesn't make sense to make Lin and Asik available after T-Rob is sent to Portland.

    If Rondo and Harden are on the same team, Harden's role changes. Rondo will be he primary ball handler while Harden is more of the spot up shooter, which he's awesome at as well. Harden can be primary playmaker when Bev is in since he can shoot the three consistently.

    Oh, and also, if we sign Howard, and trade Asik/Lin, looks like we would target Josh Smith. He's a nice player, but I honestly don't want him, unless it's a plan C. I'd much prefer we try to get Aldridge or Love.

    Not crazy about trading Asik. I think he is great insurance in case Dwight misses some games. But I'm willing to see how it all plays out.

    Not that T Rob was a big loss, but man if Asik and Lin are gone w/o Howard Morey will be grilled!!

    This either shows we are very confident or very crazy!
