    As much as it would pain me to have Boozer on the Rockets, I think that I would actually end up being pretty happy with that line-up.

    Ha Ha! If we miss out on him. Then the only other option is Lowry. And that GM ain't giving him up.

    Boozer and Hayes are no longer rotation guys unless it's on a ****ty team. They'd both be significant downgrades to the PF rotation. Might as well throw Dekker out there.

    You could argue the upgrade at PG is more than the downgrade at PF but it'd still be a huge hole if DMo or Howard misses any time (which is likely).

    Ugh...

    First off where has this idea that James Harden is some kind of ghetto trash gang banger come from? After awhile it starts to sound a little bit racist. As far as I know Harden has never been arrested, he doesn't have any children out of wedlock, he isn't cheating on a wife and he is very involved in charities off the court. Really, he has been close to perfect off the court. Who cares if he has protected sex with a big butt girl? Good for him. He works hard on his game and is a bull health wise.

    To everyone wanting Collison over Lawson because of defense? Collison is a worst defender than Lawson. Collison also cannot run an offense, he plays out of control and aimlessly, there is a reason he has bounced around.

    If you don't want Lawson because he lacks self control and has a death wish (STOP DRIVING BREH! Seriously, just hire Nikoloz Tskitishvili to drive you), then please tell me who you REALISTICALLY want.

    I could see the Rockets moving Ariza in the deal for Lawson if Denver would be willing to part ways with Faried (rumors last year of a possible breakup). Not sure why else we've stacked up the wing and sf position, and are looking pretty thin at PF with TJones likely involved in a trade, and DMo + Dwight having injury concerns. Idk about the salaries, but my gut tells me that if we do make a trade with Denver, it could look a little like this...

    Rockets trade:
    Jones
    Ariza
    PapSmear
    Prigs
    Dorsey

    Nuggets trade:
    Lawson
    Faried

    Now why would the rockets trade their 3rd best player for a one trick pony in faried...

    We only trade Ariza for 3rd star.

    I think it's taking into account Terry's massive caphold. I assume we won't be paying him anything close to that and that we won't be a luxury tax team, as usual. If we aren't a lux tax team then the trade works with the 4 players Bima mentioned because non tax teams can bring back 150%, plus $100K (Dorsey, Johnson, Pablo, K-Pap).

    You would think so, it would be the only reason why they would suggest taking 2 guys Denver wants to get rid of while giving up Ariza.

    His hearing isn't until 2:30, I'm guessing we get news on the judge ruling at 3:15. If its dismissed he's traded by 5:00

    I thought you get jail time with your second DUI? Or is that just Texas with DWI's?

    Man, things are so bad in Denver that the only media guy they could get to try to pump up Lawson's trade value is Chris Mannix.

    They don't bother mentioning him much because they know he's not available. They don't mention Dwight Howard much either.
