    If young Footwork is moved, watch for some Free Birds in facilitation. DM is no standing pat with our lack of front court help.

    Free Birds in facilitation.....what, we get some bigs from New Orleans (obviously not Asik, there's a waste of money). That is, we help....we facilitate a trade that is otherwise going down?

    Or Ibaka? Because we can't continue as a donut team. No, sir, we can't.

    Probably means we are trying to snag ajinca.

    He's got good defensive numbers including very very good drb% and good block%. He's very good at defending the PnR. And he rates even better at defending post ups.

    On offense he is inefficient but part of that is because 30% of his shots are long 2s that he converts at 30%. Eliminate that and he could be much better.

    Try and dump brewer to Philly and pick up covington/stauskas and add a pick. If we send Orleans a quality 2nd and maybe rights to a player, they could possibly ease up the pick protections going to Philly.

    Could be a sneaky acquisition, especially if we can dump brewer.

    I don't dislike Ajinca. Good contract too.

    Morey needs to steal guys like Frazier, Holmes and Covington if he's going to get involved.

    This. I am all for the Rockets being part of a 3 team deal and snagging Ajinca. But adding another piece like Frazier or Holmes/Covington would be very nice and something I am sure Morey would push for and perhaps use those 2nd rounders if need be.

    For the record, is a Free Bird a Pelican or Hawk, a current Free Agent, or a Free Agent to be?

    Definitely.

    Would you guys do something like this?

    http://www.espn.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=z73xztc (add one second rounder to Phila or to both teams)

    In fact i would love to get all those three guys but i don't see the Sixers trading Rob right now, just my feeling, hope to be wrong though, and if that's the case, would you trade Trez for Covington if, let's say, Gentile rights (Bryan is known to love Euro players) and another future 2nd wouldn't be enough...? -> since we would also take back Holmes anyway

    http://www.espn.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=jouukm6 (again, if Trez is not necessary, add Gentile rights and another 2nd rounder maybe)

    ?

    Also, how much it will cost us cap room wise to stretch Ajinca? @larsv8

    PS. don't kill me, just a random trade idea lol

    @Vivi Yeah, I don't see Convington being moved in these scenarios. Your 1st trade looked appealing. Kinda feel 76ers wouldn't want to move Holmes in that deal though. Not sure the motivation for them since they are getting back Cunningham. Might as well keep Holmes. Funny to see KJ being traded back to Philly. And also funny though thought of even MORE Pelicans added to the roster.

    BUT, yeah, if you could move KJ/Brewer/Ennis and get back Ajinca/Frazier/Holmes you do that deal. Really rounds out the depth.
