Lin + Asik + unprotected 1st + (something else of value like a 2nd round pick) Rondo + Bass I'd hit that for both sides. But a second...
Win/win trades are rare because the CBA deliberately designs a market that is highly illiquid. Salary matching, salary cap, trade deadlines,...
Personally, I consider Parsons a franchise player in terms of marketability, in terms of being an all-around glue guy, and someone who could be...
Things depend in part on how much Morey values his job, versus his stated goal of maximizing probablity of winning a championship. Because if...
I'm not overly wedded to picks, for the record. For example, in the win-now mode for next 3 or 4 years, Morey certainly could pitch a few 1sts...
Okay, I won't debate whether overrated, but to add two points: (1) In practice, the home town does has a high probability of re-signing a...
I don't think 1sts are overvalued. (1) It's really the only way you can ever get a superstar. For most cities outside of NY and LA, anyway....
I'd rather lose with Chandler "White Lebron" Parsons than win with Rondo. P.S. - They should give an annual "White Lebron James Prize" to best...
I'm with the crowd who would rather give up two unprotected firsts than Parsons. If we're in win-now mode, those picks can go, and we roll...
Somehow, I imagine Les as a guy with a hundred million liquid, and excellent cash flow. He's not exactly running out of cash and giving Morey a...
It's right to say Houston isn't looking to dump Lin for nothing. He fills several valuable niches, and his leave would open up a few holes. But...
CF needs to have a ban policy specifically written for the long list of bannable LOF characteristics such as: LOF delusions of grandeur; e.g.,...
We could replace the loss of Parsons' prettiness and somewhat balance out Rondo's mean-looking, only-a-mother-could-love mug by trading a 2nd for...
I believe that Morey made the proposal to the Knicks in the way he does due diligence on all teams, seeing a win-win trade, seeing NY could easily...
I used to lurk back in the Yao years. The heavy majority of commenters here would call Yao soft or a wussy, and knew the Rockets were not true...
It has been said many times JLin playmakes in a style different from Harden. JLin probes the defense, and is pass first. The whole team is in...
I think JLIn could've been motivated by someone telling him to (1) just win the sixth man award [probably too late now], (2) help the Rockets win...
It seems two common mistakes were made: (1) Dolan burned the bridge with Lin. This makes the proposed deal - which could've been a big win for the...
The article was posted in this forum back during the Asik to Celtics talks, when it was believed the Lee-Bass deal had been finalized, from a...
Does the actual evidence match your scenario of an Asik indifferent to his loss of role and future earnings? (The 4 minute Philly outing drove it...
