    We are talking about two centers having space on Defense to play defense. That is what I'm talking about. That is why Mchale started them and did the experiment in the first place wake up bro.

    Yea, but C is the 3rd letter in the alphabet.

    Spencer Hawes is a center.

    Sweet victory.

    Just a rumor, with very few sources.

    Jeff Green but needs wise I'd say deng. Having a player like him that can provide perimeter defense would be great. Chicago isn't dumb enough to do that deal though

    Yeah that's why I said kinda.

    If they'd get a 1st from someone else plus MKG on top of the 2nd rounder I could see that being a win for them. But not with what was proposed.

    If they are trying to suck it does. But they should probably get the pick from the Bobcats, and then it would be more fair to everyone.

    It'd still be pretty good haul for the Rockets. To get Deng and Hawes for Asik would be adding a lot of firepower to help make a run this year... just doesn't do much in terms of upside assets that might be re-tradeable at the deadline.

    Agreed as far as we're concerned. I'd love that trade

    PHI trades: Turner + Hawes; gets: Asik + OKC 1st + HOU 2nd + PJ3
    OKC trades: Sefalosha + 1st + PJ3; gets: Turner

    I go back to the fact that Asik was surrounded by terrible defenders all throughout last year. I agree that LMA destroyed us last year, and seems to be on the same track now. But that game was the most clear example of Asik's value. If that switch isn't made, then I'm pretty sure Aldridge scores more than 1 FG in the 2nd half.

    Yes, I'm sure we would love to rape teams.

    I dont think that the Rockets can spin Asik, Lin and DMO into Deng, Hawes and a #1 pick.

    Deng is going to be a FA and is close to 20/7 and Hawes is at 15/9 and hitting 3's.... the Bobcats #1 is a good pick.

    FAR more likely the Rockets are giving up picks in the trade suggested.
