    That's what I mentioned earlier. The knicks want Lowry, Toronto has wanted Asik before and we can get Johnson.

    Spencer Hawes is a big man who can shoot from 3. That's what I got out of Doc's tweet.

    He also vetoed the Pau gasol for us and saved us there to and screwed the Lakers by not allowing them to get Paul. .

    If it's Hawes, there is no need to pray.

    Probably more than 100 games in his career.

    Edit: Nene missed about 220 games in his career due to injuries!

    Robert Urich's name did come to mind when I saw DR's tweet but I've never seen that TV show so couldn't make that connection.

    Which indirectly helped the Rockets get Dwight cause if CP3 is in Gold and Purple, I don't think Dwight leaves LA.

    Thanks Stern

    Spenser: For Hire was based on Robert B. Parker's novels about a detective in, get this, Boston. Robert Urich starred.

    No one wants him. Morey is more then willing to trade him to get rid of his salary.

    And according to the imdb page he solved mysteries by "Using his years of experience, his natural talents for observation and reasoning, and the occasional bit of help from his friend Hawk "

    I think we all know what this means...

    Nah. This is standard trade deadline type stuff.

    GM's will play coy and angle for the best deal until the time runs out, then we'll see who's really willing to pay. GM's don't want to be seen as fleeced by Morey, on the other hand they don't want to be stupid and miss out on a player that can help their team.

    The leaks are standard PR moves. Try to downplay the value of Asik to the media and see if it gets people to either second guess their bids, or it gets Morey to back down on the price a bit.

    With 4 teams in the mix, expect a decent package by the time all is said and done. When you have 4 bidders, you won't necessarily get a sky high package back, but you certainly won't get a bad package back either.

    If Morey already has a fall back plan, then there's a floor on the price. The rest is gravy at this point. We'll just have to see how much gravy Morey can snag.
