    Anderson is definitely a possibility.

    I'm a little worried that both Phoenix and New Orleans will be frozen into inaction. New Orleans is one back from #8, and OKC is 2 back. Both teams have rough stretches leading up to the trade deadline, but so does OKC.

    Phoenix
    vs Washington
    vs Chicago
    @ Golden State
    vs Memphis
    @ Portland

    vs Utah
    @ Sacramento
    vs Houston

    New Orleans
    vs Denver
    vs LA Clippers
    vs Atlanta
    vs OKC
    @ OKC
    vs Chicago

    vs Utah
    vs Indy

    OKC
    @ NY Knicks
    @ Memphis
    vs Orlando
    @ New Orleans
    vs New Orleans
    vs LA Clippers

    @ Denver
    vs Memphis

    *Playoff teams bolded

    My best guess is OKC goes 4-4, Phoenix 3-5, and New Orleans 3-5. That leaves Phoenix in 8th and OKC/NOP one back in 9th. Even something more favorable like OKC 6-2, PHX/NOP 2-6 leaves OKC up only by 2 games.

    We need a team in deal making mode. To me, that points towards Denver and Ty Lawson.

    If Melo is healthy and open to it I would expect a full court press from Morey. Not saying I agree or disagree with targeting him. It just makes sense. I could also see a disaster scenario where we wait until the last second, focus all of our energy on Melo, then have him fail the physical in the 11th hour.

    Kennedy strikes again.

    BTW, of course we are "dangling" Terry's contract........as part of salary filler for a larger trade. That's about as predictable as the sun coming up tomorrow.

    Added Jimmy Butler to my signature today. Right behind Goran.

    I believe the contract is being dangled, has been dangled and will continue to be dangled. McHale loves him... but just look at the contract. He was brought here to fall on the sword eventually. He's basically a piece of meat and knows it.

    Believing Morey would not try to deal that contract would be like a frog accepting a ride from a scorpion.

    That's such a troll post once again by you. Everyone in the NBA knows Butler is untouchable. If I'm a Chicago fan, I only do a trade for Butler if Im getting Harden back (which obviously won't happen.

    Isn't Butler from Houston as well? Maybe who Codman was referring to.

    I want to know you're logic behind this, you seem to think things out before posting. You just screwing with us or do you believe we could actually get him?

    At this point I would think DRose is more 'gettable' than Butler

    There is no need for logic. BBallalcoholic is just telling us what Morey is telling him.

    trading

    Butler.

    They've stated they will match any offer thrown his way. He's there to stay.
