    I KEEP CALLING IT !!!! told you guys to chill on crying about parsons, it wouldve happened already if that was the case.

    morey is looking for the 3rd team to get a 1st from for dmo,asik or jones that will help us have 2 first rounders to get the deal done with. Hinkie maybe the guy that can do this for us since report is out they want asik and need to add salry just to meet the leagues cap space.

    kings are out
    raptors probably out to - rondo probably doesnt want to go there either

    Some people prefer the good ole days where you didn't have time nor the place to express your skepticism on moves that might or might not happen. It was so much simpler back in 1995:

    "What?!?!?? The Rockets just traded for Drexler!!!?!?!? The Rockets can't do tha--hmm...they just did that....hmm...."

    So if a guy is a Rocket fan for 12 years but started rooting for them because of Yao, he's still not a fan?

    Sixers offering Hawes for Asik? I wouldn't even wipe my ass with Hawes.

    Philly will take on asik for a 1st. Next year with Noel they can play it safe with him then big money for sixers in 2015 that's what's in it for them with MCW and Noel to build around

    If we could get Rondo without losing Parsons, I'd be down.

    Good one. The important piece would be one of those first rounders of course. We can then convey that to Boston when attempting to trade for Rondo.

    asik and NY 2nd to philly

    NO 2014 pick to Boston
    Rockets 2014 pick to Boston
    Rockest 2014 2nd round to Boston
    Jeremy Lin to Boston
    D'Mo to Boston

    Rondo and Bass to Houston

    Houston would be taking back salary in this deal but both Rondo and Bass contracts expire in 2015 which would coincide with Morey's 2015 deal. Les would have to pay the tax but I believe he would for sure if it meant having a third star in Rondo while keeping a stud in Parsons and a potential stud in Jones.

    Rockets do give up a lot of picks but you do that for a guy like Rondo

    Bass has played an undersized C before in spot situations in his days with Dallas and Boston so he can play that backup PF and C role -- the C role if Smith is out

    The more I think about it the more costly these trades would end up being.

    The Pellies pick is still very valuable. I could see it cost DMo+NYK 2nd+ Asik for Hawes and Pellies Pick.

    For a final offer to the Celts of: Lin+Pellies Pick+Rox 2014 first rounder+and Tbird. (If you think that's far fetched look what the Kings had proposed)

    The price of retaining of Chan.

    Or the absolute disaster when they tried to make a "big 3" by trading away their future for Barkley.....

    false statement

    They don't have to add anouther 5.1 million to their books to meet the leagues cba rules, if they do not reach the figure they just have to spread the 5.1 million amongst their current players based on the % of the salary cap they take up. For example Thad young may get 1 million and MCW could get 100k, their is no penalty really for falling below
