    Mavs Assets are not as good as the Rockets.

    Snag lawson and Josh smith = improved team. If we get kj to then we've dine great although id prefer a backup pure shooter instead of kj but they are none on the market

    I just want a roster where I feel like we went all in, I want to see what this team can really do and last year might have been different if we loaded up. Our ceiling is through the roof. Durant ain't coming let that go and let's roll

    Why wouldn't we take Faried back along w/ Lawson. Faried would be completely ridiculous in our system

    Match KJ, resign Josh Smith, trade TJones, Kpap, Prig, Dorsey, 1st round pick for Ty Lawson.

    Lawson/Beverley
    Harden/Brewer
    Ariza/KJ/Dekker
    DMo/JSmoove/Harrell
    Howard/Capela

    Maybe we re-sign JET to the vet min, or can convince Ray Allen out of retirement...

    Don't want to trade Capela.

    Howard's injury history, Dorsey being are only other back-up option, and Capela has shown great potential.

    Lawson and Harden were top 2 in corner 3s assisted last season. Having them both on the same team would be offensively potent. No lapses when Harden sits. Sure his defense would need some work, but with a good rim protector behind him I'm sure he would look better than before.

    I say bring him in even if it takes the Rockets 2016 1st round pick.

    TJ, Papa, Prig, Dorsey + 2016 1st round pick for Lawson.

    Never trust a girl with a snake, OP, and before making a thread, consider whether the title could mislead the BBS, and whether the thread should actually be a post in an existing thread. Carry on. :)-

    You know perfectly well that real snakes are expensive. I thought the android-like "snake" was very believable. More to the point, that girl was dangerous. I soon took care of that little problem. Pity. She was quite attractive in a vicious android babe kind of way. Nice bosom!

    Let's look at every NBA team and see if they would want Lawson...

    Rockets - YES
    Mavericks - D. Williams just signed, so no
    Spurs- lolz
    Pelicans - Already have Holiday so doesn't make since to go after Lawson
    Grizzlies - Conely

    Clippers - Paul
    Kings - Rondo
    Warriors - Curry
    Suns - Knight and Bledsoe (although adding Lawson would be fun to see a 3 PG lineup)
    Lakers - Clarkson and Russell

    Thunder - Westbrook
    Timberwolves - Rubio and Tyus Jones (Lawson for Rubio straight up would be interesting)
    Blazers - Lillard
    Jazz - Burke and Exum (perhaps they would want an upgrade for a playoff run)

    Celtics - Smart and Bradley (see Jazz)
    Sixers - Hinkie no likie
    Knicks - no assets to trade, but would fit decently there
    Nets - Just got rid of DWill, but no assets and want to avoid as much tax as possible
    Raptors - Lowry

    Heat - Dragic
    Magic - Payton (see Jazz and Celtics)
    Hornets- Walker and Lin
    Hawks - Teague
    Wizards - Wall

    Cavs - Irving
    Bucks - Carter-Williams
    Bulls - Rose
    Pistons - Jackson and Jennings
    Pacers - Hill


    Sooooooo it looks like the Knicks and Nets could use him, but have nothing to trade for, and the Jazz, Celtics, Magic, and maybe the Bucks could potentially trade their young PG for Lawson, but I haven't heard anything that would make these scenarios likely.

    This leaves the Rockets has the most likely landing spot, if he were to get traded.
