    Your post made me think of this...

    http://bbs.clutchcity.net/showthread.php?t=231302

    And to think, less than a year ago, Ric Bucher was comparing Morey to David Khan?!?!?

    Never did care for that guy...

    Wildcard team may be the Knicks

    Salary is an issue though. No way the Rockets want Felton's contract, but he has to be included or you're looking at Bargnani or Lin involved.

    I mentioned New York as well. I knew it had to be a large market team for WOJ to call it a significant team.

    The "trading Asik by December 19th so we can flip the new guy by the trade deadline" thing worries me a bit. Will this cause the team to be distracted for the next two months until the late February deadline finally passes?

    Morey keep on talking about the team being in more of a position to have more stability given that they now have the stars, but it seems that the team is still just flipping assets.

    Disagree. I feel millsap is better for what he's offers. You really can't compare them though because there I. Duffrent positions

    This ain't some rookie GM we're talking about. It's Daryl Morey. For all we know this bush league stuff was tried on him back in 2007, and since then he's learned his lessons and adapted appropriately. What we are now looking at is one of the if not the best negotiator in the business. Talent evaluation is a different story, but when it comes to negotiations...I have absolute trust in him.

    His RAPM is one of the highest in the game.

    Deng the last 2 seasons hasn't been that great outside of his defense.

    His 3 point shooting has been atrocious this season.

    Milsap has been hovering around a PER of 20 last 2 season.

    Millsap is a better rebounder, better shooter, better finisher, good overall defender, gets more steals, has more win shares, etc etc.

    Both are also very clutch players

    Shump is their only player with value, outside of Melo, but I'd prefer a little more than just Shump.

    I have my utmost trust in Daryl Morey as well.

    But he is human and isn't immune to being hoodwinked.

    He is playing multiple moves ahead not just Dec 19th but he has Feb 20th and summer of 2014 and summer of 2015 in mind too. I know this.

    Seriously? It's called sarcasm, and if you read other post, all of these teams are said to possibly be involved. So I was just giving a scenario w/all the teams. Just like everyone else in this thread.

    After this summer, Morey learned a great lesson from Dwight.

    His sight is already set but he will entertain other offers, let them try to outbid each other with this so-and-so-made-this-offer-can-you-do-better? All those rumors are just diversion tactics.

    In the beginning, Ferry probably asked Asik + Jones. The closer it gets to the deadline, the better the offers by other GM's.

    Morey, "If you want to keep Horford happy, don't let this chance slip by, Danny Boy!"

    Ferry, "I hate dealing with you," as he reluctantly agrees to Millsap + asset for Asik deal.
