    Different conferences. They have a very easy first round matchup whereas we probably will play the Clippers

    Just curious how is this thread even coming close to rivaling the Epic Dwight Howard post this summer.

    Its only Omer Asik.

    I thought maybe 100 pages would have been close to the maximum. 140 pages OMG!!

    Edit: Nevermind I just checked. Dwight Thread was 767 pages. :eek:

    Based on what knowledge? What do you actually know?

    Ridiculous what passes as actual-factual. Bah.

    See, that's the point. Dwight+Bass was merely "OK." Dwight+ 3 point shooting Ryan Anderson (and before him, Rashard Lewis) was special.

    We will be better off pairing Dwight with Casspi or Jones than we will letting Bass even touch the floor.

    The Dwight signing seems to have blocked out people's memories. Do people remember all the useless assets and crappy picks that bounced around between trading McGrady and do trading for Harden? Think of the full list of Morey trades that occurred between those two bookends.

    Morey specializes in trading tons of small assets in what appear to be lateral moves in what looks like churning, until he ends up owning the world. He's like that dude who started out with a paperclip, and many months later ended up trading for the deed to a house.

    Not if the Blazers are first round losers again this season. He's sick of that. Blazers will deal him during next season if that happens rather lose him for nothing.

    Also waiting out until 2015 free agency to use cap space would mean Parsons is gone.

    An earlier trade allows the Rockets to have both players.

    I'm confident Morey is aware of this fact as well.

    watched him other night vs timberwolves on NBA tv, he is a good defensive player, but just looked at the stats, you wanna explain 14mins 0-5fg 3reb 5fouls you wanna explain this greg smith looking stat line to me?

    Seem like Danny wants him gone ASAP, if Morey takes him hopefully he can get 2 picks.

    asik, sullinger, green, Bradley, rondo, Stevens is a 3 seed in the east.

    What do you think Brandon Bass did to Ken Berger or the GM he quoted?


    http://www.cbssports.com/nba/writer...ios-emerge-with-self-imposed-deadline-looming

    Brandon Bass is just not a fitting return for Asik and not an asset we can flip come February. He is not worth the trouble of distracting the team with more trade rumors for 2 months.

    If Houston is going with "contract filler + pick" in return for Asik, it's much better to just go with Hawes. I am not enamored with Hawes' skills, either, but at least 3 point shooting is something this team makes use of and his contract is expiring and easily flippable.

    I'm with the rest of y'all on this. Bass isn't gonna cut it. Hopefully there's more at the end here. Keeping my fingers crossed.

    So you are judging him off one game. Proves my point. He is a solid player, and plays great defense in PNR situations. There is a reason that Miami's defense is so good. They have flexible players at the 1-4 positions who can guard in all situations. This team will improve with Bass coming in. Just watch.
