    True, but I seriously doubt Morey does nothing

    It might be 2 Mounds Bars for one Giant Baby Ruth, but Morey will do something.

    I tend to agree with the sentiment that Morey will pull off some kind of a trade but whether it will be for Dragic is a little less certain. I think the value of NO's 1st round pick here is nearly at it's peak value and I think Morey intends on using it to facilitate a trade but if he can't get anything of value out of it before this trade deadline, he may consider waiting until the summer or consider trading it to a team needing a pick now in exchange for a future first of similar value.

    That being said, I wouldn't be totally shocked if Morey facilitated a 3 way trade to get Dragic to LA and in exchange for taking Lin back, Morey gets a future pick or two. We need another PG on the roster - even if he's a backup level player. If Bev is hurt or in foul trouble, it gets grim pretty fast for us and for a team with championship aspirations, that is unacceptable.

    We will have a good pick via the Pelicans. It's not the end of the world.

    Lin can't be traded back to the Rockets this season.

    I believe our team isn't bound for another first round exit if we don't do a trade. Our team is doing excellent and that's with tons of injuries and changes happening. Health and time is all we need.

    I don't think Joey Dorsey is a sufficient as a 2nd string center. But I believe that our front court can do well playing small at times and we have enough pieces with or without Dorsey.

    Dorsey doesn't belong in the NBA.

    Ahhhh - your right. My bad. I wasn't sure what season the offseason is attributed to - the next or the past season but your right, this is still the current season that he was traded in so we couldn't reacquire him.

    No trade means McHale may be forced to try Canaan.

    Will Caulie-Stein be there in the 11-14 range?

    Let's not get carried away. McHale only plays Canaan if Bev is hurt or the Rockets are down 20+ points in the 2nd half of a game. Even that time Terry sat against the Magic to rest up for OKC the next night, McHale played Shved instead.

    Disappointed of course , but at least better than seeing Goran leave after about 30 games. I don`t think he will stay when facing a 20million check from L.A. in summer.

    Some of our guys think there will be no trade.
    Just make a full use of our line-up is enough.

    Why would Morey want a player back who literally screwed us out of 2 crucial playoff games last year? The most reliable part of Lin's game is his turnovers. I'd rather have nobody at backup PG than have Jeremy Lin back
