Three way trade Houston out: Parsons, Dwight, 1st round pick Houston in: Kevin Love, Iggy New Starting Lineup: Lin, Harden, Iggy, Love, Asik Timberwolves out: Kevin Love, Derrick Williams, 1st round pick Timberwolves in: Klay Thompson, Chandler Parsons, David Lee New Starting Lineup: Rubio, Thompson, Parsons, Lee, Pekovic Golden State out: D Lee, Iggy, Klay Thompson, Andrew Bogut Golden State in: Dwight, Derrick Williams, Jordan Crawford, Green, 1st round pick New Starting Lineup: Curry, Crawford, Green, Williams, Dwight (Barnes off bench) Boston out: Jeff Green, Jordan Crawford Boston in: Andrew Bogut, 1st round pick New Starting: Rondo, Bradley, ? , Humphries, Bogut Obviously just a random trade. A trade of this magnitude will probably never happen so don't bash, but a lineup of Lin, Harden, Iguodala, Love and Asik is quite interesting.
Another Random Trade between 4 Teams Houston,Boston,Orlando,Denver Houston Out:Jeremy Lin,Omer Asik Houston In: Arron Afflalo,Andre Miller Boston Out:Gerald Wallace,Jeff Green,Marsoon Brooks Boston In: Danilo Gallinari, Jameer Nelson,Omer Asik Orlando Out: Arron Afflalo,Jameer Nelson, Thobias Harris Orlando In:Jeremy Lin,Wilson Chandler,Marshoon Brooks Denver Out: Danilo Galinarri,Wilson Chandler,Andre Miller Denver In:Gerald Wallace, Thobias Harris,Jeff Green IMO it seems to give every team a quick fix for now and build on for the future, With future expiring within the next two years. Potential Depth Charts. Houston: Bev/Andre Harden/Garcia Afflalo/Casspi Parsons/Jones Howard/Smith Andre would be a good 6th man if limited right and is health he could prove to be valuable during the playoff season since he has been in alot of playoffs over his career,but I dont think he is as good as Lin so our bench seems weaker while the starting lineup looks amazing tho. Boston: Rondo/Nelson/Bradley Lee/Crawford Danilo/Bogans Bass/Kelly Asik/Faverani I feel like I shafted Boston the most tho looool. I dont know there team is hard to trade with. Without Danilo and Rondo they will still lose games, Nelson is added in as a temp fix as is Asik,it gives them a good chance to lose games to get Jabari or Wiggins. Asik also gives them a true big man for the future. Orlando: Lin/Price Victor/Brooks Chandler/Harkless Nicholson/Davis Nikola/??? This can help Orlando win games now and develop talent in Victor at his more natural position,Lin can improve this team as a starter and Orlando will get good sales as well on paper it also looks like a future playoff team. Denver: Lawson/Robinson Green/Fournier Wallace/Harris Faried/Randolph McGee/Hickson On paper this looks like a very good team if they can keep healthy sure they lose Danilo and Chandler but get good talent in Green and Harris,While Wallace is a veteran player who just wants out of Boston. This team could make the playoffs,but I dont know the organization could be imploding. Also this is all random im just bored at 2 AM lol.
27 points on 59.6% TS in that particular game. Those are elite numbers. I don't care to discuss Paul George here but that was an odd remark.
Yeah I rather have Paul George than Kevin Durant, because I think he is a better all around player. What a freakin big deal! You guys act like Durant is on Lebron level he is not, George might not be the prolific scorer Durant is but watch him on both sides of the ball he is a 2 way player. Call me crazy or whatever you want, but I would take George over Durant if I was starting a team.
Durant's league? WTF has Durant done to be in a league of his own? Talk to me when Durant wins a freaking championship. Durant league of his own lmao! More like Lebron is in a league of his own.
LOL I think you just destroyed any credibility you have for any other statement you might make in the future. Gotta make note of your username.
Lolol. George is a very good player, on the cusp of being an elite superstar. But the only debate surrounding George should be Harden vs George. While George is the obvious winner defensively and has grown offensively, Harden still can create better for himself and his teammates. But George vs Durant?! That is not even comparable. 100 out of 100 people would pick Durant hands down. Durant has won 3 scoring titles already and he is just now entering his "prime". He could easily get 5-7 scoring titles before it's all said and done. And everyone has been short selling Durant's defense but he made solid strides last year to be a plus defender and he is a very good defender today. If George continues his growth over the season and in the next couple of years then this comparison could gain some notoriety. But for now, it's Durant.
Scoring the most points is great, but what about defense? Is he gonna play Lebron tough on D like Paul George? DEFENSE, DEFENSE, DEFENSE! This is what takes George to another level, he can score 25+ppg and be a DPOY type player. He is the total package.
Man, George Vs Harden at this stage i will take George in a heart beat. Though it's criminal to take George over Durant who is arguably the 2nd best player in the NBA.
The gap between George and Durant has narrowed considerably this season. George took a huge leap in his offensive game this year. Those who refuse to compared him to Durant hadn't watched much of George this season. The way George improves year after year, it's not far fetch to think that he will be on the same level as Durant in a year or two. Or possibly taking over as the best player if he can lead Pacers to a championship in the near future, while LeBron, no matter how talented he is, can't escape aging and declining. It's only a matter of time when he is no longer the best player in the world. There are only a couple of players on the horizon that can take over LeBron's reign, and George is definitely one of them.
If the Rose injury truly is an ACL tear (God, I hope not) then Chicago may look to tank this season and make a series of trades. What about a 3 team trade involving Omer Asik to a 3rd team, who sends picks to Chicago and Chicago sends us Luol Deng? We can use the perimeter defense.
If the rumors of Chicago wanting Asik back are true, they may still want him regardless of the severity of Rose's injury. Deng is a free agent after this year so they will probably lose him anyway. I believe Deng is the realistic elite player that the Rockets can get their hands on to make a serious push for a championship (he helps more than LMA or Love). He's just as good as a perimeter defender than anyone out there. He held Paul George to 3-14 for 12 points and Deng went 8-14 for 23 points... George couldn't guard him. Plus Deng is coached up by an excellent defensive coach and he may can help Harden and Lin get it together. Lin Harden Deng TJ Howard
To New Orleans: James Harden, Omer Asik, Omri Casspi To Houston: Anthony Davis, Tyreke Evans, Jason Smith, Anthony Morrow Waive either Brewer or Covington Beverley, Lin, Brooks, Canaan Evans, Morrow Parsons, Garcia Davis, Jones, DMo Howard, J. Smith, G. Smith
