    Wierd. They only have to give one up for Smith. What are they planning?

    Don't think our FO will be looking to bring Lowry back. He definitely had his struggles last year as well.

    Doesn't matter since trades aren't official until July 10th anyway. If Dwight doesn't sign, the trade doesn't go through (Rockets pull out).

    Which concerns the #### out of me because I think Parsons can become that third star.

    What about Lin for Mo will sign and trade, his shooting and slight shot-making ability could help if Dwight comes

    Calderon is a great offensive fit, but the defense is worrisome. Can we win a championship with the best offense in the league and a #10 defense?

    Lin for SnT Calderon and future 1st? I'd do it. Calderon's defense is definitely not the best by any standard, but having Beverley's defensive abilities to back him up helps.

    As soon as the trade for Harden went down all our plans changed.

    Never trust Morey. He'll trade his mom for unprotected lottery pick.

    Not too mention, he's old and cant play defense. Just dont see any upside to this move. Might as well start Beverly, he can knock down the three, create his own shot, and can play lock down defense.

    Lol been said this a hot minute ago. Dont take a rocket scientist to figure all this out. It makes plenty of sense to get a stretch four and another PG. Even though I would keep Lin.

    If you can upgrade the team in the middle of a championship chase, you gotta do it.

    On the other hand, I absolutely see where you are coming from. Don't see how there can ever really be solid player-front office relations for non-stars with the constant fear of being traded. I'm not saying it's a good or bad thing because right now I'm excited to see where this team goes in the very near future, but hopefully it doesn't lead to anything bad in the future.

    Hell, we may end up keeping both. Wouldn't be the first time Morey confounded everyone on the planet. I thought Dwight really liked the idea of playing with Asik on the team to back him up, and play next to him, depending on matchups. Did I read that tidbit wrong? And Jeremy is our China connection. If he goes, Alexander is really concerned more about that banner hanging from the roof of the Toy Box.

    Oh we need some shooters since we no longer have Delfino and Garcia.
