Melo actually had healthy teammates and a stacked team when he got out of the 1st round. If he was really da bomb why can't the knicks reach 0.500 with him when they were 8-1 without him?
At this point with Bogut off the table I just want an Okafor deal in place, something liek Okafor+NO pick for Scola+Patterson+filler. Another trade would be Dragic for Lakers 2012 pick and Dallas 2012 pick. If we do that we can potentially have 4 picks in the drafdt and use themt o move up and get brad beal.
Rockets should aggressively go after evan turner, he is a young stud. Imagine a team with Evan Turner and Chandler Parsons d Kyle Lowry as your core!!!!!!!
NOH Martin and T-will ..for... Okafor and NOH 1st rounder PHX Hill, and Budinger ...for.. R.Lopez, and PHX 2nd rounder and/or Patterson ...for... Morris Jazz Martin and Dragic ..for.. Favors, CJ Miles Harden without giving up Lowry to get him
Trade 1 Houston Sends:Kevin Martin,Samuel Dalembert,NY Pick Houston Gets:Al Jefferson, Raja Bell Trade 2 Houston Sends: Kyle Lowry,Luis Scola Houston Gets: Josh Smith, Kirk Hinrich Houston Line Up Dragic/Hinrich/Flynn Lee/Bell Parsons/Bud/Williams Smith/Patterson Jefferson/Hill
HOU gets Avery Bradley BOS gets Luis Scola Boston could use the rebounding help. We could use.... Ehhh, who am I kidding? I want us to stay the course and POTENTIALLY have 2 Lottery picks. I just like Bradley as a player. Lot of potential.
Howard, Turkoglu, Ish Smith, Future 2nd for Martin, Thabeet, Hill, Flynn, Williams, NYK 1st Why Houston does it: Howard, duh! Why Orlando does it: The '09ers are expring, get a mid-1st pick in a deep draft and Martin is serviceable starting 2-guard
http://espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine Magic get: Kevin Martin, Samuel Dalembert, Jordan Hill, Hasheem Thabeet, Marcus Morris, NYK 2012 first rounder (top 3 protected) Rockets get: Dwight Howard, Hedo Turkoglu Kinda seems too good to be true at first but when you look at it, the Magic end up saving a ton of money with this deal. Hill and Thabeet expire after this year and Dalembert's contract is a team option. That's roughly $15,000,000 of potential cap relief. This also provides the Magic with a way to unload Turkoglu's ludicrous contract and still give them a player they might want to hold on to in Kevin Martin and a young prospect in Morris. I think the Knicks pick also might be necessary to sweeten the deal enough for the Magic to agree. We then take our chances convincing Dwight to stay and live with the results. Like I said though, could be too good to be realistic but at the same time you have to remember we're making this deal with no guarantee of Howard resigining in Houston.
Too big deal to be happen, but I think this is the best scenario of "renting Dwight". HOU send -Kevin Martin, Luis Scola, Samuel Dalembear, Jordan Hill, Goran Dragic, Chase Budinger, NYK's 1st rounder recieve -Dwight Howard, Hedo Turkoglu, Earl Clark, Iman Shumpert ORL send -Dwight Howard, Hedo Turkoglu, Jason Richardson, Quentin Richardson, Ryan Anderson, Earl Clark recieve -Carmelo Anthony, Tyson Chandler, Luis Scola, Jordan Hill, Goran Dragic, Chase Budinger, Josh Harrellson NYK send -Carmelo Anthony, Tyson Chandler, Iman Shumpert, Josh Harrellson recieve -Kevin Martin, Samuel Dalembear, Jason Richardson, Quentin Richardson, Ryan Anderson, NYK's 1st rounder HOU Roster Lowry/Flynn Lee/Shumpert/Terrence Parsons/Hedo/Mook Pat/Clark/Smith Dwight/Thabeet(bring in a REAL center via FA or Draft as soon as possible) ORL Roster Nelson/Dragic/Duhon/Ish Redick//Wafer Carmelo/Budinger Scola/Davis/Harrellson Chandler/Hill/Orton NYK Roster Lin/Baron/Bibby Martin/JRich/Walker Fields/QRich/Novak Ryan/Jeffries Amare/Sammy
He's not cause Atlanta is stupid and they're ok with losin him for nothing. Example: Marvin Williams over CP3 and D-Will, just dumb.
What do you guys think about this trade. http://espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine New Orleans sheds Okafur's contract while getting expiring and Crawford who will opt out. We take expiring and shed contract to sign Lee in the summer and get a look a Kaman if we want him beyond this year. Portland will get good pieces to build around Aldrige. The question to me is, " Is this enough for Portland"? Opinions?
Sorry, Portland K. Martin G. Dragic Okafur Houston Kaman Felton New Orleans Thabeet Crawford Camby Flynn
