    Maybe even the Knicks I heard they are in the market for a PG. Pergioni just got injured in their last game.

    Wildcard: OKC? especially if there is a 3rd team involved that doesn't plan on competing next year something like Hou: Hawes, OKC: Asik Philly: Lamb, Perkins (expiring next year.)

    Wildcat: Detroit involving Monroe. Detroit won't be tying up all its near-max contracts (to be) on the frontline with Josh Smith, Monroe and Drummond.

    Monroe will be up for a near-max (if not max) contract next year. They can well sign him to that contract and trade him in the next one to two years while Drummond is on the rookie scale, but it doesn't help the fact that their team is inbalanced and in need of more perimeter help. And the 3 (Smith, Monroe and Drummond) together is a poor mix for spacing.

    You must not be familiar with the Daryl Morey way. We are gonna take everything straight to the deadline and squeeze every last drop of value out of this trade.

    Daryl Morey will make you swap 2nd round picks with him in 2023 if he needs to. Include an option to confiscate your hotel room at this year's All-Star game. Put in a provision to have you hand Sean Elliot over to the Taliban bound, gagged, and tongueless. He doesn't wanna know details. Just make it happen.

    Wildcard I think are the bucks or Knicks. Knicks maybe for Lin+Asik but I fount Dolan allows it.

    You mean he's guessing just like we are .... Those tweets are no different than many of the posts in this thread.

    I was talking to someone about this last night. I agree in thinking Monroe is the kind of young player the Rockets would be interested in. I think Drummond as the five and Josh Smith as the four could be a way to go there in trading Monroe, but where does Asik fit into that? And if they're not willing to pay Monroe big money next year, why pay Asik now?

    I don't know if they see AD as a four and JS as a three, but certainly seems like they might be able to get a better fit for their team in trading Monroe.

    I'm calling Charlotte as the Wild Card offering Haywood, Gilchrist, and a pick.

    If we can land a guy like Green or Young, perhaps we float them to Detroit?

    or

    Detroit is hard after Rondo. Perhaps something gets working with Monroe, Asik, Lin, others?

    I wonder if Ferry is willing to give up Asik for Milsap. Milsap is the most underrated advanced stats all-star in the league.

    Somewhere in all these tweets there was a quote about 5-6 deals on the table. Pretty sure this has to be one of them.

    Davis can stretch the floor much better than Howard or Asik which is why he would fit better with Asik than Asik with Howard.

    Green or Young to Detroit, Monroe to Houston? Yeah, certainly from a positional need standpoint that could make some sense, if Detroit was willing to pay for those guys.

    There's always that wonderful unexpected 3-team trade.

    Don't know what it'd be. Detroit needs a 3, one who might stick around. Evan Turner? MKG (although he needs time to heal)?

    IF Detroit is the wild card (which is probably just Morey using the twitter-sphere to his benefit).

    Get Charlotte involved with MKG and Lin to Detroit, Asik to Bobcats, Monroe to Houston. Something like that anyway..
