    Ahh my bad. It was a reply to a tweet sent out by Sam Amick; couldn't find the original tweet

    Hmmm interesting decoding there.... I wouldn't mind this. MGK and Hawes would be a great grab for Asik. Swapping out Lin for Caanan is fine with me, he is a better shooter.

    Agree. Everyone is throwing up smoke right now. What I don't understand is why GMs would use it. Does it really improve your negotiating position?

    Yeah, that sounds about right. Kind of a bummer tbh.

    You would not be happy with a 7' 245 lb PF/C that is 25 years old and averaging 15/9/1.6?

    He is shooting 50% from the field and 44% from 3 with 4 attempts a game?

    His spacing would be perfect with the Rockets and he is capable of playing extended minutes at the 4 and 5.

    I guess I could be happy with that scenario if Canaan can play relatively well in the NBA. Will rep if you're right.

    Also, this was your first post.

    Nice post, although I'm not sure I get the Kidd-Gilchrist connection.

    He's a rental, so I would hope Morey would also demand a pick.

    I'm relatively new, so can someone explain to me why so much attention is being given to some cryptic twitter post from someone calling himself "Doc Rocket"?

    We didn't find a trade we really liked. At the end of the day we decided it's best to keep him (until February). The benefits of getting the trade done before the 19th didn't outweigh the best trade offered to us. This gives us 2 more months to find a deal we like.

    I think it would be more about not damaging your existing team chemistry.

    The last thing you want is your players thinking they're up for trade if you have low confidence in them being traded.

    You guys are reading too much into Doc's tweet. We're trying to make trades to get guys that we can trade for #42 Kevin Love. Maybe, probably not right now, but either at the deadline or possibly in the off season.

    It's all about Love.

    Millsap, Ilyasova, Hawes, Shumpert, MKG.....all these rumors about different guys. It's all about Love.
