    Im down with Thad in the Red and Yellow. I hope Jones will be ok playing big minutes off the bench.

    So, what was the dilemma. I wonder if rockets wanted more or sixers did. My guess rockets want picks and sixers didn't feel like that was fair considering they are rebuilding. Thad is good but he's no millsap. I still hope millsap ends up here because he's about x3 times better then Thad and a better contract.

    Jones and Lin off the Bench means Garcia's role will be cut and I'm perfectly happy with that:grin:.

    Casspi can move to the 3 where he won't be overpowered.

    Maybe Morey and Hinkie just couldn't out-blink one another.

    Could be this still gets done, but might take time.

    They already offered Young for Asik straight-up.

    Morey also wanted a pick. Sixers said no.

    Morey said no deal.

    Just one question, Doesn't Young's contract end past 2015?

    Surely libertyballers.com cannot be a source right?

    TJones and TYoung would be the most versatile set of PFs in the league.

    Would the 76ers trade Hawes separately in that case, or would he just back-up Asik? I think at that point, I'd rather do an Asik + <something> trade for Hawes and Thad Young.

    Having ex-Rockets front office personnel around the league sure comes in handy.

    Ironically, the situation likely has to do with him feeling a tad old to be wasting his time on a tanking team.
