    It keeps it interesting, it's hard to get an accurate gauge on any of this information, but it's awesome that Cyber shares what he can. The thing people tend to forget is there is no way to 100% know what will happen because no one really does. Look at the Bosh situation last year, Woj was saying it was done, and Woj is the best. It's all fluid.

    The players have an idea of where they want to sign but a lot of factors come into play. LMA can get more money in Portland than anywhere else, he has a comfort level with the city and there will be a lot of pressure to stay. Love will look like a goat if he leaves Cleveland high and dry, is he willing to do so? LeBron is a powerful enemy to create. DeAndre would essentially be leaving a better team for Dallas, he has ties to Houston, that's interesting but I can't see Dallas offering enough to get him to leave LA in the end. Doc instilled a lot of confidence in him and it would be a slap in the face to leave that situation.

    Love is the most likely to leave in my opinion and LA makes sense because he seems to crave fame in a way similar to CP25. Aldridge fits in with SAS, and I could see the move and it makes a ton of sense, but he seems pretty loyal.

    DeAndre and Parsons were out partying in Houston together a few weeks ago. I think Jordan will get 90-100 mill and sign with Mavs & I don't mind that at all. That means most likely lose Tyson Chandler, Aminu / Ellis.

    If true then it's highly unlikely we will bring him in unless he signs for the MLE or less.

    From a neutral stand point (which I'm definitely not), it'll be fun to see what Deandre Jordan's impact on a team really is. It's just hard to judge how good Chris Paul and Blake are, and how much they help DJ or he helps them.

    The Rockets could add Thad Young in a S&T with the Nets for Kpap+Prigs+TJones.

    But, Young wants a long term deal and do the Rockets want to tie up their cap with that deal? If Young didn't opt out, it would make sense as his deal would expire in 2016.

    I agree, and I doubt he goes for the MLE. Probably can get a bit more.

    Damn LMA to SA blows hard. But it's a great pick up for SA. Love to LA is a great move by LA as well. Maybe love would be able to attract Russ to LA when the time comes too.

    Also Thad would be awesome especially if Smoove is out

    Lol. Not buying it. Plus it'd be a layup drill all day with Love/Okafor/Randle down low.

    Interesting. Maybe it's a question of playing with Harden. Maybe he's just happy where he is. Maybe he'd be more inclined to sign on another team?

    Well, if he continues the noncommittal, I wonder if he'd be a good trade asset.

    If Les and Morey can get some cold hard cash back for the 2 million they used to buy his draft rights.....

    So basically we are getting nobody... Just a day in the life of a Rockets fan. This sucks, my day just went down the toilet. We will always be a mediocre team if we stay as is.

    the top team right now that is in the lead for LMA is the Dallas Mavericks according to Rich Bucher with the Spurs coming in right behind.

    I have a feeling Llull be surprised to see how long Morey will wait for Sergio. Hopefully he's worth it unlike the Bosh.
