Patty Mills is also a UA athlete, would make sense for Houston. Vasquez also is but he just got traded. Kemba Walker is as well.
When I think of the word "splash", I certainly do NOT think of Patty Mills... I feel like this move Codman is talking about is WAYYYYY bigger than Patty freakin' Mills..
I decided to take a crack at deciphering Codman's message. The brotherhood thing could possibly mean that Cuban is going after DWill and Smoove at an attempt to lure Howard to Dallas. Yes Houston is close by but DWill wants to be home. We know Cuban wants Josh as well so its a possibility. Brotherhood could also be a connection between Harden and Jennings. The Under the radar thing could be Brandon Jennings (which I hope), but I feel like it's Patty Mills. An Under the radar player hidden in SA's system who is sponsored by Under Armour and is from the land down under. Rafer was traded before the deadline, as was Mike James, so possibly, the trade is coming at the deadline. Devalue Trevor probably means his value is either much higher (as in the fans are devaluing him) or much lower (the GMs devalue him). I'm hoping for the former. Finally, Rick Adelman's stomping grounds. There's the T-Jones incident. Which could mean we are getting someone from Portland. OR, there's the Kevin Love stomping on Scola's face incident. Which means we are getting someone from the T-Wolves. Other than that, nothing else makes sense for that point. Possibly, there is a trade for Brandon Jennings to come to Houston using Trevor Ariza and we'd also get Patty Mills (Shooting Guard in a Point Guard body) to back up Harden. Then we'd likely get a big using Jones from either Portland or Minny. Damn Codman is confusing.
I don't know... I'm not an insider, lol. I can give you a few names of guys I would want Morey to target, but that would mean virtually nothing haha
Behind Howard and Harden, Ariza is probably the most valuable asset on the roster. Any package involving him would have to knock Morey's socks off. He's almost untouchable really.
I think a straight Jennings for Ariza makes sense. Jennings is also an UFA next year, and IF Morey's looking at a 2016 HR, he won't need to try to move Ariza/Brew/Bev at the last minute (although he would have nice flexibility to move Bev if he wanted to hold onto Jennings' rights). Your idea makes a lot of sense in a thread where sense was lost around page 25.
ahahahaha I love this. Codman gives a riddle and everyone tries to explain it. Lots of imagination in this thread. That's great entertainment. Personally I won't bother with this coz I don't believe anything lol BTW Jennings could be had for a bag of chips because he's done.
Analysis: Dwight has many friends around the league including Smoove and D-Will. Codman said Houston "was" right there meaning he's already agreed with Dallas. "Our splash is UNDER the radar". Do not think this is an Under Armour or an Austrailia reference. I think it's Codman just emphasizing that it is being talked about nowhere, possibly including here. Rafer was traded for Mike James BEFORE the pre-season. Perhaps this is Morey's personal deadline to make moves, which makes plenty of sense given his trade history. Rick Adelman stomping grounds tells me it's a deal with Sacramento or Minnesota. Those are two very well known trade partners with Morey. Rubio isn't being talked about in the national media. It is being discussed here, however. But one guy who isn't being talked about at all is DeMarcus Cousins. Reports say Kings have blocked off trade discussions for him. But the rumors popped up as fastly as they disappeared. Cousins is in the Durant/Harden "brotherhood". So that would make PLENTY of sense. But there are lots of questions regarding his fit here.. #InMoreyWeTrust
Y'all reading into this too much We are bringing back Johnyy Flynn. Drafted by Minny - Rick's old stomping ground
What moves I would like to see. Give a vet min to Huertas and Jeninks (from atlanta) . Then go trade Kpap + Jones + Dekker + Harell + Capella for Bledsoe.
Trevor for Jennings would be idiotic. Rockets fans keep talking trash about Matthews being signed for so much despite the Achilles yet we Trevor for Jennings makes sense. Lol.
No need to be so hostile, he simply got the names reversed. Mike James was traded for Rafer before the preseason.
