    jones/bev will be gone if we get anything good before deadline. Teams will want young talent on cheap contracts to be included in any package thats why parsons name came up.

    I got the same line of thinking as you. Deng to Houston for some poor poor Rockets player. Lin, Asik, with main coveted piece of Parsons to Boston + picks to Boston for Rondo + someone.

    I think the issue would still be picks though, unless we can somehow get a Cavs first round pick.

    oooh. dang. That trade makes the Clips better -- which is not something I want to see happen.

    Not worried about the Clips. They have no big man depth which will be the death of them.

    My apologies in advance for going off topic.

    Damn, man.

    To imply that Clutch vouching for Cyberx is some kind of cynical ploy to pump site traffic is not just ludicrous — it's insulting to Clutch and to every member here who values the integrity of this board.

    Look — you are perfectly welcome and within your right to be skeptical of information you read here and to offer an intelligent counter argument for why that particular information might not be either valid or represent value to the team.

    But what both you and Zoplicone do is to incessantly state with absolute certainty that such information is impossible to obtain in the first place, and therefore total BS; and that anyone entertaining a position counter to your own is just some sort of lemming who needs your wise counsel to uncover the blind stupidity that causes them to even consider whether "insider" information is either (a) valid or (b) something positive for the team.

    Posting here, BTW, is not some sort of competition. You sir, and those like you — the smug self-aggrandizing police of all that you deem true — fail to understand the difference between expressing a point of view and imposing your ego-driven agenda on a discussion. You lower the level of the conversation without regard for others' rights to enjoy the possibility that a thread such as this might just contain some real and valid information.

    As for whether Cyberx is for real — again, you are welcome to your opinion. Thinly veiled attacks on his integrity are another matter. Both he and Doc make this board a much, much better place. Back when the Dwight news was staring to break we had the same drama with Zoplicone, and others who felt the need to enlighten everyone here as to the absurdity of thinking Dwight would ever be a Rocket, and to expose Cyberx as a fraud. Again, there is a difference in expressing your opinion and implying that others here are gullible fools for holding a point of view you do not share.

    There are several guys on this forum who have known Cyberx a long time. When he says that sharing information is something he does only for the sake of the community, you can at least know that some folks here know that to be the honest truth. Digs at his integrity only make you look arrogant and silly.

    Trade shouldn't make the Clips better at all. Collison brought some organization to that second unit. They already had solid wing defense.

    Shump has been playing pretty blah for NY this year.

    Typical Knicks. Focus on how well Collison played during the time CP3 was out and ignore the stuff before that -_-

    That lineup beats Miami in talent in all positions but two: PF and Lebron. Love it. Make it happen, Morey.

    Maybe if the Rockets somehow get Deng and Rondo, they convince Cleveland to send Waiters to Boston?

    You've let this consume you. To suggest I would lie about something for pageviews or something like that is just flat wrong. I also check on and have shut down plenty of people who have posted bad info.

    Here's my two cents on cyberx: I've met him. I know who he is. That's not reason to believe everything he says, but I know he's not a guy who overheard Daryl Morey's landscaper say something.

    In my opinion, the beauty of this site is that all comments are available, recorded, searchable, part of record. Whether you're posting inside info or opinions, we all can go back and look to check for accuracy. If you look at cyberx's record, he has clearly posted inside information on some things before it became public. That's putting yourself out there -- not an easy thing to do multiple times.

    You should always take everything with a grain of salt... cyberx hasn't been 100% on everything, but no one has. But his track record has been very good and if you don't believe something he says, fine ... just be respectful about it. He has earned that.

    Simple question: Why do people keep responding to jtr?

    Haven't you figured out that you are also part of the problem? Clutch and his crew can read, can't they?

    And when they act it's like....
