    My feeling is that Morey has an opportunity to get another star and completely redesign things. Calderon + JSmoove, maybe? I dunno, but it feels like something along those lines.

    Or maybe it's all a BS smokescreen. Or, maybe Morey dropped some acid and is having a bad day with Les's $$...

    Man I'm trying to find that Jose Calderon meme that said "Right this way, Senor!" or something to that effect.

    And Calderon and Harden in the same backcourt? Are you guys serious? His defense is a gazillion times worse than Lin's!

    Potentially depending on if Howard signs or how much Calderon wants.

    Personally, I'd keep Asik. I think he'd make the perfect backup and/or twin towers mate to Howard.

    Lin can go.

    There's a big difference between 'looking to trade' and 'willing to trade'. DH coming here is an absolute priority. This means that Houston can and will do anything to make it happen.

    However, I think Morey loves both Asik and Lin, thinks that they are worth what he paid or more, and would rather not trade them if possible.

    But shoots the ball a gazillion times better and commits a gazillion less turnovers.

    It's nothing more than telling other teams to make an offer if they want to...making it known that they're willing to listen.

    No where in that article does it say a deal is in place. It doesn't even mention Jose in there.

    I'm not feeling this sudden overconfidence. Morey has never landed a major free agent and Howard is wishy washy. Unless it's other teams leaking fake stuff.

    Calderon
    Harden
    Parsons
    Smith
    Howard

    I would give up Lin and Asik for that.

    Lin i'm okay with but Asik?

    Asik is top 5 center in the league and you already have him at a discount.

    Why trade him?

    That PF you're trying to get for him......is it LMA?

    No other PF is worth Asik besides LMA and they need to effing start developing the young PF's....

    Trading Lin is good bizness but Asik....smh
