    Agree I don't think Gibson is a fit in MDAs system.

    that's weird when guys like nene and harrell fit just fine and gibson is arguably just as good if not better then both of them. just because you don't shoot 3pters doesn't mean you don't automatically fit the mold of an MDA player.

    I think Harden is the only real untouchable tbh...if we can trade for a great player i don't think we would pass that to keep Ryan, Gordon, Pat or Trevor...

    Looks like the rumours on George are now true, so there's a slim chance that in one trade season there will be 3 superstars traded. lol.

    Just throwing it out there, you could also take back a useless player with salary through next season if you can extract a 1st.

    For example, Portland probably doesn't want to pay the tax for a team that won't make the playoffs. You give them expirings, take back Harkless or Ezeli and one of their 3 1st round picks...

    The only real untouchable is #13. Everyone else could/should be moved if the right player becomes available.

    This might be the trade that is going to get opened up.

    PG to Lakers through our pick + Lakers package.

    We will grab someone from IND or a fourth team

    Cyber I believe said that was what LA was aiming for

    Personally I love the way Taj Gibson plays and would love him on the rockets, but seems as if Houston is all in on making the team an offensive juggernaut.

    Good possibility. The organization obviously wants to make a serious run at the title. Like I said before, eventually, you have to go all in.

    Not without at least 1 first rounder. Bird is no Divac.
