[ESPN] Houston offering young talent + picks for Nene

Denver wants Derrick Favors because Kenyon Martin is at the end of his contract and is nowhere near the player he used to be.

 

translation: he does not have Jason Kidd anymore

 

To be sure, it is a big deal. Most teams have one or more such contracts, and they have to work around them. We don't have them because our overly-maligned (here, the last 6 months, anyhow) GM has done a great job of avoiding them.

The fact that it's a negative is exactly why Denver is willing to take less in talent to give us Nene. We can handle it; we just need to avoid having very many of these.

I would be happy to do the deal if the "picks" were a single 1st-rounder, no more, and I don't mean a pick that was likely to be top-5. In today's NBA, good centers demand a premium. We aren't the only team that doesn't have a good, real center.

And yes, in Nene's case, I would want the extension before I'd do the deal. He has made too big a deal out of how he wants to play in Denver.

 

Ok so I had a dream last night I caught my wife having an affair with this dude. NoNo to NeNe lol

 

Something tells me you're twice the man he is.....

 

Ba-da-BUM, tish (high hat)

 

Fixed it for u

 

Lol my apologiies. Couldn't tell but it was for fun. I had no idea he has one testical.

 

Can't make threads but wallace YES!!

WojYahooNBA: Charlotte's active in talks to move Gerald Wallace and/or Stephen Jackson, league execs say. Houston, Portland, others w/ eye on Wallace.

 

Didnt know where to post

 

I would rather have javale mcgee than nene. Do you think he would cost us more? Like it or not nene is not a shot blocking big man that controls the paint. He is an offensive oriented center. We have plenty of offense weapons on this team... We need to add a shot blocking board snagging monster and McGee is that. If we could acquire Wallace and McGee we would make the playoffs.

 

Oh no doubt, McGee would be a great pickup. Much better for the Rockets than Nene, in my opinion.

I seriously doubt Morey could pry him away from Washington, though.

 

very true

 

mcgee is not movable. wizard said they keeping him.

 

McGee will never be as good as Nene. This is his third season and he still looks completely clueless on the floor. Just doesn't have enough between the ears. He shows signs of being tall, and that is really about it.

 

Nene is not the answer + he will not resign here and do you really want him as your starting center for the future ? No, but in case we get him, it's better than no center to start.

Houston wants Nene bad but sources say Denver unlikely to trade Nene or JR Smith before deadline.

 

Weren't the Nuggets trying to dump Smith because of his off-court issues these past two years?

 

Karl still wants to make the playoffs.
