    With Dwight Howard in hand, and a few "under the radar moves" occurring immediately after (Casspi, Garcia), what else do y'all see Morey & Co. doing? Do you think he swings for the fences again and tries to land an LMA or K-Love? Do you think he settles for a lesser, but still very productive player in Ryan Anderson? Do you think he does nothing and stays pat? I'm curious to see what y'all think...fire away!

    I expect him to trade for that one underrated player that will really help out in the playoffs... Much like he did when he got Kyle Lowry in 09 and Francisco Garcia last year.

    I dont think we're going to see any other major moves now. No one worth moving assets like Asik is available. LMA and Love aren't going to be traded now, and if they were made available we don't have the package needed to acquire them.

    I think he adds someone for the exception and then runs with the team we've got. If anything it'll take a few months to see how the team plays together and to see how much our young guys develop. If they can move their value up and then another all-star becomes available then I think DM will make that move. Probably not until next years trade deadline though at the earliest.

    While making a move for LMA or Love is enticing, I don't think that's in the cards. I think a trade centered around Asik and Ryan Anderson is a very real possibility.

    Such a task is impossible.

    Gets a player you never heard of for a player that people love on the team, gets bashed for it. Turns out that player you never heard of... becomes a stud. Morey apologists come out.

    . This is what I was reading on one forum with some insider knowledge...

    Rockets Trade Omer Asik, Portland, and receive Carlos Boozer. Bulls receive a future 1st,2nd rounder from Houston, Bulls trade loul deng to Portland along with Hinrich. Bulls receive Niclous Batum and Westley Mathews, 2nd rounder(From Houston).

    3 way trade

    With us getting Carlos Boozer

    Morey will never do such trades .
    If we can't trade Asik for someone like kevin Love or LMA, he will keep Asik

    You never know with Morey. I expect him to look into some options at the four including LMA, Love and Mirotic.

    I expect him to explore players such as Gary Neal, Mo Williams, Jermaine O'Neal, Marreese Speights and Dejuan Blair.

    I could see a trade with New Orleans for Ryan Anderson.

    I could see us standing pat.

    I think morey will find some package deal with Asik/Lin since thats been the talks anyway, and in return we either land a really good PF, or a really good PG and a decent person for the other positon.

    I disagree. In the first trade, we'd be able to she'd Lin's salary and give him to a team in need of a PG. Thad Young has become a nice player. We could possibly squeeze something else out of them as well.

    The second trade immediately improves us with the addition of Marion, gives us a solid pick in a great draft and gives us even more flexibility going into 2014 class
