    I didn't watch the game but it looked like the pg pushed Harden and he slipped. Or am I mistaken. Did not look like a deadly crossover move to me.

    He slipped. There was no push-off that required a call and Harden was not flopping. He was too upright and when trying to cut back just did the splits instead, lol :grin: I was watching the game.

    Isn't Dan Fegan his agent? If that's the case he is not signing here.

    I watched the game. It was a clean cross-over, Harden slipped. And he sunk the shot.

    When I was watching the game live I told my bro, "you know that's gonna be on that guys lifetime highlight reel". lol

    Trade that will work for both Rockets and Jazz


    Houston Incoming Players:

    Paul Millsap - $8,603,633 - Expiring Contract
    Enes Kanter - $4,319,280 - Backup to Asik....need new team to bloom IMO
    Alec Burks - $2,111,160 - Fill void for Backup SG spot

    Utah Jazz Incoming Players:

    Kevin Martin - 12,439,675 - Proven Scorer Foye and Williams is too short to run SG
    Patrick Patterson- $2,096,760 - Millsap type of production on the cheap
    Marcus Morris - $1,905,360 - Trade Filler or Potential Prospect maybe need new scenario

    Projected Roster - Rockets

    Lin / Douglas - Lin is going to get his points and Douglas will be a defensive point/ creator
    Lamb / Burks - Guys will light up scoreboard
    Parsons/ White / Johnson - Parsons a spot up shooter/slasher and White is a point forward
    Motiejunas / Millsap / Jones - Stretch 4 and 12-15 range shooter for all three guys
    Asik / Kanter / Harrellson - Defensive Stoppers and Rebound Machines

    Projected Roster - Jazz

    Mo Williams/ Earl Watson - Williams scoring point and Watson is a true point
    Kevin Martin / Randy Foye - True SG with height in Martin/ only 1 yr deal for Foye
    Marvin Williams /Gordon Hayward / Marcus Morris - Corner Shooters for 2 out 3
    Patrick Patterson / Jeremy Evans - Cheaper option at PF and still get same production
    Al Jefferson / Derrick Favors - Jefferson is a proven center and Favors still need seasoning

    Don't know if Jazz will move Kanter or Burks ultimately but this trade works for both teams to me!!! Git Er' Done Morey like most of yall say lol :grin:

    New Signature:

    We are Lin It to Win It cause we A-Sik (pronounced Seek) and Destroy the Competition™©®

    they won't. Burks and Kanter are solid. Once they move Al Jefferson, which seems the sensible thing to do, Kanter and Favors will be a great fit and very powerful front court down the road.

    I doubt they do a Paul Milsap alone for those 3 pieces. He's a more valuable (quality+health) player than any of those guys 3 guys.

    On that note, I think you could possibly get Al Jefferson with a similar offer.
    They probably wouldn't want two mediocre tweeners, so one piece would have to be something else instead of Morris (a pick?).

    Not sure if it makes sense to this team. Al-Jeff is a horrible fit next to Howard and even more so Bynum. He's a nice fit next to Asik though.
    So this is basically only in case Howard lands elsewhere declares to stay, and Morey decides that cap space won't be worth much next summer.

    its just amazing

    ...that a guy that is a life long Rockets fan can come in and ask a legitimate question on what everyones thoughts are of a player and get thrashed for asking it. No wonder many "newbies" dont post. Been a member since 2010 but will not be posting again. thanks for your time!

    Getting a veteran player cheaply on a short term contract would probably be what we would be looking for if we get Dwight or Bynum. Adding Barbosa to our roster if we go young and are trying to get good draft picks probably wouldn't make sense. Go young and we want to lose, get Dwight and we are in win now mode.

    honestly, the "forbid newbies from doing this or that" mantra is a form of trolling and i'm surprised it's not punished for.
    it's rude and immature.

    sometimes it's called for, but in 90% of cases it seems like there are some kids here who haven't seen any other place on the internet in their life and wank at their date of registration.
