1) TJones and Beverley are both starters. TJones is 7 years younger than Millsap, and Bev is 2 years younger than Dragic. TJones has 2 years left on his rookie contract and then is restricted after that. Beverley has 1 year and then is restricted. Dragic and Millsap will both be 29 next season, neither are max guys, and both will be unrestricted free agents in 2015. 2) Papanikolaou, NOP 1st, Capela, and DMo all have positive value around the league. How much is up for debate, but they are all worth something on the market. Don't forget, the Rockets can probably easily get one of these guys next offseason for nothing more than cap space. What you're paying for is one year in advance and their bird rights (early bird for Millsap). It's not as outlandish as you'd think. Do i think it will happen? No. But I could see a scenario where we trade for one, the value of DMo and another player grow during the season, and we make a trade for the other at the trade deadline (especially if Atlanta or PHX are out of the playoff picture).
So now we have 3 or even 4 guys with 'sources'? TJ certainly gone? D-Mo possibly? Capela maybe? What the hell, for who??
yea for who? LEts give out some names that are coming if we are giving up TJ, DMO, Capela, Nick Johnson, Canaan , The kid from Greece, - Damn were giving out our whole team?
If we got Bledsoe...could you imagine our small ball lineup? Dwight Ariza Harden Beverly Bledsoe Wow.....WOW.
You guys are jumping the gun... Cyberex, plowman or anyone else are basically you tidbits of information they have.. They are not in the same room and know the specifics of the entire trade or contract.... if you look at an earlier post from Cyberex he states "I will be meeting with my contact".. He's not stating that he's in the room while they are doing the negotiation... The same goes for plowman and any other person with some knowledge... Basically, these guys are being very very nice to pass on some information that they have and that info can change on a minute by minute basis... So just take the info as is and nothing more. T_Man
I couldn't agree more.. Although I must admit I feel like the anticipation is what is killing most on this board. I truly wouldn't be surprised if something happens that completely blows everyones mind ala the Harden trade. I'm just enjoying it and hoping that Morey has that mojo we need to make good things happen.
Cavs are giving up that Wiggins kid for Love because LeBron needs to win now. Morey tried to get another big fish in FA. Howard and Harden are in their primes now. I can understand the urgency in bringing in another piece to compliment our big 2. It needs to be at least a borderline all star/2 way player type if Morey is going to deal TJ, Capela, etc.. I love the potential of the young guys but do the Rox really have 3-4 years to wait for them to hit their primes (and that's assuming they actually do reach their potential).
Once the Love trade gets finalized I can see this happening: 1. Minnesota send Kevin Martin to Houston and his salary is absorbed by the TPE 2. Houston sends Kevin Martin (6.8 million), Alonzo Gee (3 million), DMo (1.4 million), Josh Powell (1.3 million), Scotty Hopson (1.4 million) and the Pelicans' future 1st to Phoenix for Eric Bledsoe Of course Bima and the other capologists can tell me if I'm crazy or not but I think that works, logistically, within the confines of the CBA.
Martin hates Morey. Was it a coincidence that the Rockets had all those info leaks when he wanted a trade out of here?
