    No surprise there. Better not be for Eric Gordon though. Wes is not better than him. Only a buyout makes sense here.

    We'd have no trouble moving Hartenstein if we wanted to, but right now we do have 1 empty roster spot. We'd only "need" to move a guy if we were getting both Jordan and Wes (unlikely.)

    However, if we were to make the hypothetical trade for Green from Memphis we'd need to include two players at least to make it happen. Roster spots probably won't be an issue.

    If for some reason we couldn't trade these guys we could buyout Chriss.

    For sure, buyouy only. But it seems the sixers are also interested in the same option

    if the rockets get wes, wouldn't that defeat the purpose of house. unless you meant get rid of some of those you listed so they can sign house.

    DeAndre jordan ain't getting bought out and probably not looking to play 3 and D under MDA.

    The Knicks made that trade for to get better after porzingis was a bust!

    I feel like Philly may be more appealing/bigger role.

    I thought I heard Wes and worriers have mutual interest, so I don’t think it’s happening

    Is Matthews a good defender? 6'5 with a 7'1 wingspan is impressive, but I don't know a whole lot about him. Anyone watch him play?

    Almost like they are still trying to replace Trevor & Luc. ;)
    (I know Luc is hurt/not playing)
