Sources: Rockets pushing for a RYNO trade before the deadline

We all agree he isn't 2010 or 2012 or 2014 Lebron, IMHO he would still be the most versatile, best 2 way player, just not the best scorer any longer.

CP3 would be the best ball handler, Harden best scorer, second best PG. I value Lebron's leadership as much as I value Paul's so it's a wash there.

What makes the Warriors great is, they have players who can take over and/or defer to the hot hand or Steph, that is clear.

Durant is younger than Lebron and I think that he has the advantage over the course of a 7 game series stamina wise.

Will Lebron be able to defer like that, well, that is fine with me.

You talk about beating the GSW, I think even if we beat them this year, we are not guaranteed to beat them next year.

I think we would be on the same pedestal but they would have the advantage of having younger stars.

 

Lakers no longer pursuing LeBron

 

what we saw in our two wins is how cp3 + harden's total point's produced including assists either beats or cancels put stephs & kds

while we've been lucky enough that the rest of our team wasn't badly beat by klay, green & the rest of gsw

Lebron's job I think isn't as difficult because Cp3 & harden already got curry & kd cancelled out in terms of production

defensively I see Ariza and KD stopped Luc taking turns on KD

and Lebron banging with Green

 

Anderson/Black/2nd for Carter/Randolph and Temple

 

If hes about winning more chips, houston is the easy choice.

Hes about to be 34 next year, he needs to play with somone that has a bigger impact on ball games.

There is no shame in taking a back seat to james harden the guys been 2nd in mvp 2/3 years and is going to win it this year.

Giving the lions share of the duties to him is totally differnt than kyrie irving.

This will allow lebron to conserve his body for the last 16 wins that really count.

Playing with harden has really helped cp3 out. His numbers are up his minutes are down. This is the harden effect, he can do the same for bron.

I dont think bron would have any problem defering to harden.

 

keep Anderson!

 

Meyers Leonard is having a great year. Harmless not so much but he does shoot 37% from 3.

I like the Orlando and Charlotte options too, but some of those players are peaking.

Don’t like the trade with Phoenix, and Favors poses fit problems when we put him next to Capela in this offense.

Equivocal about Sacto and Minny.

Good post though - I was wondering about Mo and Meyers for Ryno myself

 

I doubt if Ryno will be traded, but if he is moved, than it's likely to be in a 3 way trade.

 

Milwaukee in: Anderson/Gordon/Rose/memphis2nd
Milwaukee out: Teletovic/Henson/Parker

Cleveland in: Teletovic/Henson/Parker/Hou1st
Cleveland out: Lebron/Wade/Rose

Houston in: Lebron/Wade
Houston out: Anderson/Gordon/1st(2020 unprotected)/memphis2nd

For Milwaukee it upgrades the roster a lot. They get a 2nd rd pick by shuffling their bad contracts for longer ones but better players. Likely waive rose and avoid having to go into sever luxury tax next year by matching a potential Parker deal who has 2 acl surgeries on the same knee. Serious concerns.

For Cleveland it is blowing it up. Get an unprotected 1st in the future when maybe things start breaking down. They are taking on some future salary but Parker is restricted and could become a good asset and Teletovic could easily be moved as an expiring in the offseason.

For Houston, well duh....

 

I actually would be interested to see how Anderson, Gordon, and Greek Freak would mesh. Those two would create a lot of spacing for the Freak and he would be very much appreciate that with his 30+ PER (just below Harden the 2018 MVP).

 

That’s a pretty decent trade it really makes a lot of sense for the bucks. Might have to give the Cavs one more 1st round unprotected pick.

But I think it’s pretty fair.

Cavs are going to be over the cap regardless so there’s absolutely nothing they can do get under it.

Grabbing 2 future 1st round picks and Parker is pretty decent for Lebron is he’s truely not coming back at any cost.

If Parker can return to form he’s a pretty good guy you can build around as your 3rd best player and because of his acl injuries you can prob resign him for less years and a lot less money that he would have got pre his last acl tear.

I’m thinking 3 years team option on the last year for around 10-13m a year.

Something similar to the mirotic contract the bulls gave him this past summer.

 

Bro... congrats on this not being completely crazy...
I'd argue Cavs say no... cause who knows about Parker. I really like him, but the injury concern is a concern.
But it ain't crazy!

 

Yep everyone was to busy hating him to even cover the fact that Cleveland got 2 1sts and 2 2nd round picks

 

I’m sorry but not everything Cyberx hears ends up playing out. That’s not a knock. He never stated they WILL move him.

And I seriously doubt we end up dumping him. This is just something being overstated like us getting Melo this past summer.

Ryno is a starter and averages almost 30 minutes a game. We have never looked this good before. We’re not going to get rid of him right now for a shot at Lebron this summer. We’re contending for a title right now and then in the summer we will pursue all options.

 

2nd most popular name this deadline - Ariza

 

If it gets us LeBron......do it!!!

 

Seems logical. Our deepest position. Luc and Green giving very similar production. Ariza could maybe net us a late first rounder and/or save us some money. Question is, who wants him? You have to assume a contender or maybe just someone trying to clear space, he is a 7.4 Mil expiring. Lots of options.

 

Just lost all the made up credibility.
bye.
