    Probably. I certainly don't know those players. It just seems weird they don't have a single young player they're willing to keep like a Troy Daniels type.

    If they do, it's an illegal one. They can't negotiate with either one until July 1.

    Too bad NO would be a playoff team next season. Late 1st round pick on a weak draft

    This is way better than the trade woj reported last season where we would receive Lee and Bass. As much as I would love to have Lee back on the team, I think this trade is a good indicator that the team is going to make a big addition.

    Might have been addressed already but I don't wanna read 11 pages.

    Why is No allowed to trade 1st rounders b2b years?

    It won't go through until July (and I guess it will be allowed then)

    if Morey gets draft pick(s) for Lin, he's going to be able to to tell LBJ/Melo, "look at all these picks we still have to surround you with young talent to spell your minutes"

    Am I the only one that happy about trading such a quality player to someone in our own division?

    Something's up. Otherwise, you've traded asik for nothing, which is a waste.
