"Houston has their sights set on bigger players than Iguodala right now." I seriously hope this is true. I wonder who they're targeting that is better than A.I.? Probably trying to make a (failed) run at Dwight?
In the last couple of seasons Bogut's often named whenever the media discuss the top three centers in the NBA.
The Bulls are right there only missing a legit SG and this deal would get it done. What do they want with two late 1st Rd picks for but CLee and Jordan would complete their roster nicely. Rockets could use those 4 picks to move up and remember Cleveland wants more picks to fill out their roster. Edit-Asik would be an ideal defensive center and help make Scola and Martin look so much better.
I'm willing to bet that those picks get packaged for an earlier selection this year or a promising unprotected next year if that deal were to be made.
So if we trade for a significant player I think it's gonna be dealing with Atlanta. Either J. Johnson or J. Smith.
Martin for Iguodala would be a bad trade. Those two should play together. If Morey were to do that trade, it would be a mistake.
Glad to hear the Front Office is working hard. If we don't land a star this offseason but we our other areas of need, I won't be unhappy, stars are hard to come by.
Houston gets: Asik, Korver and 28th pick Chicago get: Lee, Jordan Hill, 38th pick and a future 1st I would add the 38th pick and remove the 30th see if they bite. But if Chicago wants our starting SF, Chase Budinger, their going to need to include the Charlotte pick. Houston gets: Asik, Korver, 28th pick and Charlotte pick Chicago get: Lee, Jordan Hill, Chase Budinger, 38th pick and a future 1st
If we get only one pick, let's get 28 instead of 30, so we can draft and stash Mirotec, one pick before the Spurs do it at pick 29.
Bulls guy says basically BUlls are playing hardball. Dont really want to lose Asik or Gibson but realize they'll likely have to trade one of them to get a SG(Lee?, Mayo?).
I could live with a deal that revolved around Lee for Asik. Keep the unsubstantiated inside rumors coming. I'm a draft junkie who needs his fix 3.5 days out.
