No way Toronto would do this. They just got a young PG they wanna test out and Amir Johnson is the fan favorite
I don't see a great chance that this would go down. However, there must be an error in your original chart: Lowry and Johnson come out of Toronto and Philly. Only Hawes comes out of Philly because nobody is receiving anything else?
From what I've seen so far, Howard has fewer alley-oop dunks this year than his previous years. And our team still has not run the pick-and-roll games very successfully with Howard. It takes some time to build up the team chemistry though. Proposing this trade, not because I don't like Harden. But because the Suns run a pretty good pick-and-roll game with the present of both Dragic and Bledsoe. Suns send: Goran Dragic Eric Bledsoe(probable resign at the end of the season) Okafor(expiring constract) Goodwin(future prospect) 2 future 1st round picks Houston send James Harden Jeremy Lin Omer Asik brewer/brooks
I don't even know why I'm acknowledging this but NO, noooo, NOO. First, the problem you see with our pick and roll is that we just don't run it enough. When we do run it with Howard, you will see our ppp sky rocket. Secondly, trading Harden?! Lol wut. No wat we even think about trading him unless we are getting LeBron, Durant or George. If we trade him along with Jeremy and Asik and get only Bledsoe and Goran as immediate impact players, you can bet we won't even make it past the first round.
Houston in - Paul gasol, Xavier Henry Lakers in - Lin & asik Houston does this - gasol on a expiring contract, playoff experience could play 4, spot center mins with smith & camby, Henry is on a vet min contract can play 2&3 has length, low turnovers, system player, can shoot the 3 seems Like morey wants expiring contracts & wants Lin & asik out, so he can be a playmaker in 2014 free agency, if we can get turner & hawes expiring that will work also. But see this as a similar deal.
What about Brandan Wright? + 2nd round pick. In Morey place I would take it, he's pretty much underrated athlete now. 2007y 8th pick by Bobcats, never got a consistant minutes.
Not really... That team would still miss the playoffs... MCW keeps having mysterious injuries and I'm sure that will go on all year...
3-team trade between Rockets, 76ers, Celtics: Hou. get: Hawes, Bradley, Lee, a Philly's 2nd round pick Philly get: Asik, Lin, DMo, a Rockets' 1st round pick, Cash from Houston Bos. gets: Turner, Wroton, a Rockets' 2nd round pick Howard, Hawes, Smith Jones, Casspi, Covington Parsons, Garcia, Brewer Harden, Lee, Brooks Bradley, Beverley, Canaan
If Toronto is continuing its firesale, I hope Morey calls about Amir Johnson & offers to facilitate Lowry to the Knicks. No actual trade proposal here, just a thought. This would hinge, of course, on Toronto being interested in Lin. With Valanciunas, they'd have little need for Asik.
