ESPN Draft Buzz : Rockets using Landry to try to acquire lotto pick

I would think that the Pacers would readily trade #13 for Landry. (I'm a Pacers fan)

The Pacers biggest needs are PG and PF. if their PG isn't there at #13 (Jennings?) and if they aren't sold on the most likely best PF available (Blair) then I think that the Pacers trade the pick.

A hot rumor is #13 from Indiana to Chicago for #16 and #26.

Personally I'd prefer the Pacers get Landry than whomever they'd get at #16 and #26 (Hansbrough plus Young?)

 

Don't the pacers have TJ Ford and Jarret Jack? That's a pretty solid PG rotation, unless Ford has another injury I'm not aware of.

 

Reggie said the pacers are trying to trade one of them so they can draft a pg...apparently he has inside info

 

Jack is a free agent they would prefer to keep. TJ Ford apparently had some run-ins with coach O'Brien about callling his own number too much instead of looking to pass.

The preference I think is to re-sign Jack, trade TJ, and get a bigger/more physical PG as a complement to Jack.

 

newsalert: Chad Ford on ESPN.com live chat:

"one sec, call coming in from a GM right now..."

 

Wonder how landry feels about all this trade talk surrounding him.

 

I think the best trade scenerio that I see right now is a three way trade with the suns and knicks.

Basically send knicks mcgrady

Suns get Mobley (cause saves money right now) Larry hughes or curry and Landry maybe like a our or one of the knicks draft picks for this or next year.

Rockets get stoudamire

This works even better if the knicks get milic from memphis they could trade him and mobley which would be a better take for the suns than hughes or curry.

 

I always had this idea. and I think its awesome. lol.

11th pick: New Jersey
outlook: unlikely

landry for 11th pick and a bad contract such as eduardo najera should appeal alot. but nets are going to use this pick on terrence williams.

12th pick: Charlotte
outlook: very likely

terrence williams has gotten a promise from the bobcats. its confirmed by chad ford. however nj is ultra hot for him as well and may take him

13th pick:
outlook: fairly likely

we get diener back and they get landry. we get the pick too. we pick brandon jennings.

14th pick:
outlook: very likely

we get this pick as a package for amare. we chuck in landry and they give us no.14

 

He has been shot before. He won't care. He'd keep working on his game.

Hmmm. Carl Landry for the 11th pick???

 

I'd totally do that.
So Tmac + Aaron Brooks for Amare + fillers.
Landry for 11th and take a PG?

 

How about the warriors' #7 pick? They need an athletic big man. Landry fits.

 

I wonder if Morey has looked at this or considered it?!

 

Bravo! That's why they pay you the big bucks, R2K.

And to Landry90210 or 2001, whatever the heck it is, grammar is your friend.

 

i'd definitely do landry for the 11th, though i wonder who we'd target since it'd be dumb to take a replacement for Landry so I'd assume going with a PG, maybe a guy like Jennings?

 

My feeling, the #7 pick is that the rockets are looking for. The warriors need Landry.

 

if we're looking at guards

Rubio
Harden
Evans
Jennings
Derozan


in that order

 

Why would you want Landry when you got B. Wright, Anthony Randolf, and Ronny Turiaf

 

Landry is a better scoer than them. And, he is very athletic.

 

thats what I am thinking about. with the pick I'd take Flynn or Jennings I think both are going to be better then Brooks.
