    I feel like the Rockets have their hands in so many deals that they will eventually miss out on all.

    I do like that fact that Doc said the Rockets are looking to get rid of the NOLA pick. So hopefully we can get something good out of it.

    I'd take Jack's bad deal if they gave us Plumlee.

    Jarrett Jack would be a good add if all else fails. He can play.

    @Clutch: Any chance you are doing a pod cast after the trade deadline?

    What would Thunder fans think if Jackson does indeed become a cornerstone for another franchise a la James Harden for us. Gotta be tough being an OKC fan.

    I wouldn't be mad about getting Jarrett Jack, but I don't think it's a game changer.

    He's owed nearly 25 mil next season. I don't see who we could trade to get him other than Dwight.

    I would take him straight up for Terry with or without Plumlee.

    Man OKC might get Lopez and Affalo might go to Portland. Both teams would improve drastically

    Jackson won't be better than Westbrook, so it won't be the same. Him and Westbrook can't play together like Harden and Westbrook could have.

    Maybe DWill will get bought out if the Nets land Reggie Jackson.

    Would you give up the NOP pick for Mason Plumlee?

    He will help either way, but he will really be a great backup if we got Dragic or Lawson.

    Sorry in no way did I mean to imply Jackson was a good as either of those 2 players mentioned, but at some point you gotta wonder how OKC keeps losing good players. At the same time I think Lopez does make them a better team.

    Jarrett Jack can only be traded if it is only him leaving Brooklyn...meaning he can't be apart of an OKC-Lopez deal
    Also meaning the Rockets would have to do a straight up deal where they match Jack's $6 million salary...Shved, Canaan, Capela

    Im not going to lie, but Brook Lopez for the Thunder brings them something they really have not had since KD and Russell have been in the league...a post presence... Sure Lopez might be injury prone, but when healthy he has been a solid post player.

    Reggie Jackson could flourish into a star...ala James Harden...but I just dont see it. Regardless...OKC will be in the playoffs and will knock off a top seed for sure in playoffs granted everyone is healthy.
