    I dont see either one of them being asked to run the offense.

    What I see is him making moves towards the basket to draw in the defense and passing out to an open teammate, last time I checked that is the very definition of playmaking for your teammates.

    and he is very good at that, the defense has to honor his threeball and they know if he gets into the paint he is very good at finishing......so it is perfectly logical to have him handle the ball up top. Considering the Rockets offense has been tops in the league both last year and this year, I would say whatever they have been doing is fine....whether you think it is pretty or not.

    It's Bleacher Report. Anyway, no more players with off the court issues. Morey just doesn't have a good track record with those guys.

    It's Jared Zwerling, who has worked for ESPN, SI, CBS, and the NBA...

    No to Jeff Green. Like others have mentioned send him to a 3rd team.

    If Asik goes to Boston we gotta get KHump and 2 first or Khump/Sully and a first out of the deal.

    I've liked Sullinger since before his draft. I still feel like that kid is a superstar in waiting as long as he can stay healthy. Too skilled in the post and on the perimeter. Just a very skilled and very basketball savvy player. I was so hoping we would get him in the draft especially when he fell that far.

    I've been a fan of Waiters since I first saw his highlights. So much of MJs style in his game (stress on the word STYLE). If the 76ers get him for any package that doesn't include Noel, MCW, or their picks, it's a absolute steal.

    Some people can't take a hint I guess. (This post doesn't help though.)

    Thanks BimaThug!

    Stick to the rumors/updates/tweets and respond to just those.

    Do not discuss random trade scenarios out of a tweet or article unless the article lays out a trade scenario (i.e. 3 team trade - Houston/Boston/Philly...etc)

    It's hard to keep up with what is legit information pertaining to Asik.

    Thanks to BT and you for the 'thanks' to BT.

    As for keeping up with legit Asik info, is there any? I mean, any?

    Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Wednesday...

    While I agree with Bima but now instead of pages of bad trades … we now have pages of people reposing the Bima Post… awesome…

    any truth to the tweet about asik and lin not being in practice? or is it just for injury reasons?

    i'd link the post which had the tweet, but i saw it a few pages back and lost it.

    Not sure about Asik, but apparently Lin is actually hurt according to Clutch.

    It could all be legit for all we know.
    It could all be bullcrap for all we know.

    Until something actually goes down and is in stone it will always be the above mentioned points.

    I think the point of these kind of threads it to monitor and see which direction the wind currently is blowing towards.

    Sullinger....superstar? What?

    No, Sully is not a superstar in waiting, he may not ever be an all star. And besides, Jones is a better player than Sully at the moment, so why would the Rockets be interested in Sully? Don't fall for Bleacher Report's BS.

    And now we have someone reposting a comment about people reposting a post requesting people stop posting random trades.

    Between the fact that I'm expecting our firstborn any day now and Morey's self imposed trade deadline, I've lost all will to work.

    Almost 4PM, and no tweets from any sources?? Anything New?

    I usually see Tweets from Marc Stein, Dave Aldridge and others around
    11 AM (updates), but not today :(
    Maybe tonight will get a good update on the trades and whom are the trade
    pieces.. I would imagine that if a trade is happening within two days, there
    would be more insight, but it just seems like everything is being kept inside...

    What's intersting is that there has not been any sources saying that
    the Hawks are not intersted.. Seems like Morey is trying to get Paul Millsap,
    but Danny Ainge is not having it YET

    If we trade with any of these teams this is what I want. Boston: Jeff green and picks that's it no one else. Sixers: Thad young or spencer hawes and fillers with either of them. Hawks: Paul millsap. If we take anything but that if not more I'd be sorta dissapointed.
