Sam Smith: Rockets "quietly sending out signals they’d trade Omer Asik and Jeremy Lin"

Exactly. Don't disregard team chemistry - much more important than individual stats. Really we just need a PF and a coach.

 

so quiet that only dogs can hear them

 

Next season looks bright.

 

Anyone's tradable , espeically under Morey, if the Heat for some reason lost their mind and offer Lebron for Harden + anything else you bet you the beard is out of town in 5 minutes too.

Morey (and most other GMs anyway), tend to just play their role like a normal marketing / salesmen, they'll throw out a ton of different lines and see which one bites.

 

Is this a joke, or is there really truth to the Eric Gordon rumors?

 

He may have been joking right there. However there are plenty of rumors coming out of N.O. that Gordon doesn't want to be there. I'm hoping we can possibly turn TRob into a lottery pick and send that pick plus TJones and expirings to N.O. to send Gordon to Minny and Love to Houston.

 

you understand that cp3 has a choice, and harden did not, no?

 

I definitely understand CP3 has a choice. Sam Presti had a choice too. Presti made a choice that I thought he was much too smart to make. I thought and still think that Presti should have traded Westbrook for a greater haul than he got for Harden and then sign Harden to a max contract. That was nuts.

CP3 has a choice. We should not forget that.

 

Upgrading our 1 and 5 spots? Why not?

Get'er done Morey!

 

nooooooo...don't trade away our Houston United Nations!!!!!

i would begrudgingly root for Dwight even though i think he's a big P.O.S crybaby..i actually LIKE the players we have on this team. Would be cool to see them get it together and make a serious run . I think with a year under their belt, this team as it stands is a dark horse contender.

I feel that a PF 'star' upgrade might be enough to put us over the top seeing how well Parsons & Asik are doing... thats just me

 

Grunch:

We want Dwight. -Morey

Lakers would actually be a good destination for Lin when Kobe and Nash retire. A core of Asik and Lin, and possibly Gasol, with Mike D'Antoni on the bench, along with the large Asian population of LA, the big market, and how the Lakers are always seemingly able to add talent, would be a good landing spot for Lin and they would probably be a playoff team even without Kobe, Nash, or Dwight.

 

Why would Morey need to send out signals? "Tradeable" is and has been the default value for every single one of our players except Harden. Telling people Asik and Lin are available is like saying Morey still wants another star.

 

Do you ever have anything else to say besides this, in every thread?

I'm taking you off my ignore list, because I'm starting to really enjoy the fact that poopie pants "Mcfail" and ISO hero Harden are making your annoying ass suffer. :grin:

 

that would make the lakers better than us....
Lin
Kobe
Jamison
Pau
Omer

 

Lin isn't going anywhere. The rockets have sign a lot of contrtacts like the preseason games that incluid lin.

 

Been saying it all along and i know it's highly unlikely but Morey is going for both Dwight and CP3 with the help of James Harden's recruiting skills. If one of them chooses to sign with the Rockets (possibly CP3 since he's a good friend of Harden's), then expect the other one to join them as well and make a super team.

PG Chris Paul vs Mario Chalmers
SG James Harden vs Dwayne Wade
SF Chandler Parsons vs LeBron James
PF Donatas Motiejunas vs Chris Bosh
C Dwight Howard vs Udonis Haslem

Quietly Sending out Signals

 

It's Sam frikkin Smith. EVERYTHING he says is pure speculation. That you buy anything he says tells me how desperate you are to believe him.

 

And that new Lakers era begins with Kobe being 35 years old, Pau Gasol at 33, and Jamison at 37. Yeah they are better than us alright.

 

Be interesting to see Harden hand off to CP3 and stand in the corner. LOL.
