    Just saw it on the Chinese forum. The OP lives in the US. He always gives us some good insider stuffs and has a good reputation around the forum.

    But I must stress that I don't know if this is true so if it didn't happen, DON'T BLAME ME.

    First of all, it's Terrence Jones, not "J-Jones." I'm not going to comment on the validity of the source, but just based on the trade that's described, it's obviously a good deal for Houston, but seems too "small" to fit our recent moves (namely, the amnestying of Scola). A move like this, if true, would have gone down a long time ago. To have cleared as much space as Morey has done, we must be taking in more salary than just Duhon and Richardson.

    TL;DR: unlikely scenario, possibly too good to be true.

    Much better. That deal is worth doing.

    They amnestied Luis because they need some room to make make offer to Lin and Asik. Not necessarily because of the trade.

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure we could have made the RFA offers without amnestying Scola - if anything, the non-guaranteed contracts would go first. Scola is a last ditch effort to clear cap space that shows our willingness to swallow the contracts of 3 of the 4: Duhon, Davis, Richarson, and Turkoglu.

    For easier reading:

    Orlando receives
    Kevin Martin
    Jeremy Lamb
    Patrick Patterson
    Terrence Jones
    Jon Brockman
    Shaun Livingstone
    Jerome Jordan
    2 future 1st round picks (from Dallas & Toronto)

    Houston receives
    Dwight Howard
    Jason Richardson
    Chris Duhon
    2 future 2nd round picks

    Perhaps someone who understands the cap can tell us if this trade is allowable.

    I feel like I'm the only one who's going to miss Patrick Patterson.

    I'm pretty sure we won't have enough room to make offers if the trade went through. We have to amnesty Scola to make room.
