Source: Hawks could take Brandon Knight in 3-way deal for Lin.

At least Chris Broussard has real sources

 

If we make a trade with Atlanta, it better be Bazemore coming back!

 

Your post is in dire need of editing. Eliminate everything before “I don’t really want any part of him.” Replace “him” with “Lin.”

You never, EVER have to explain the “why”. It is understood.

 

I'm not hearing _ _ _ to the Rockets (not writing the name because we've been winning), but that doesn't mean anything is possible. Admittedly, I want the Rockets to keep _ _ _ as far away from the team as possible. The drama of his following and the constant reminder of his Rip City disaster still makes me hurt. My intel is pretty weak for _ _ _ and it's probably because I would rather watch Greg Ostertag airball a freethrow than see _ _ _ in a Rockets' jersey.

All I've heard in relation to this topic:

We have guys younger than _ _ _ who give us more than what he can provide.
BK's contract, while ugly, is designed to be pieced together for something better (depth)
The Pope is being shopped heavily, and _ _ _ has been mentioned in connection (good ties in Cali) but that doesn't just mean to us. KP has quietly asked his team for an out (he's not part of the Lakers movement going forward)
-One ear mentioned dangling Melo and filler to LA for KP and The Whisperer (lol) ....again, just ears.
-Heard (again) that western teams don't prefer to deal with Morey. (That's respect in my eyes)

The Hawks are shopping everyone, just as implosion has been implied.
JL (cringe) is in demand by other teams for financial reasons and pg depth. We are not dying to grab him, but I guess the money could make sense.

I'm told by a good Ear to watch for the impact, chess move, but it's a tad early, especially with our recent winning streak. I have been reminded that we don't need something drastic, but as is suggested to me often as all hell, it's about #decreasing the drop. We miss a SweetLou and a healthy Luc. We sure as hell miss Trev.

But there are those FreeBirds that are just waiting for a chance to help. And, don't forget that we need some experience behind Clint if my guy goes down or is traded to make it work.

If you are speaking of the Pope to begin with....I’m with you. Not a fan. I believe GGreen is better.

I don’t mind the Whisperer coming here. Weird guy, but Lance Stephenson is doing well with 3’s last time I looked.

 

Good of you to drop in, my friend.

 

I try my best to post here and there. I love reading everything though, especially from genuine, loyal Rockets fans AND the nice folks who've wished me some good health. So thank you (yeah, you,) for those wishes, even with the rare "you bald-headed fool" mentions. Love em, too!

The Ears are busy this time of the year (naturally), but I get the feeling of "stress transactions" over "competitive, James Harden for KMart transactions." Still, I've been told to expect positive results with patience...

Hope you have been well, friend. Wishing you the best during this holiday season as well.

I don't know if CF still does get-togethers at games in Houston, but I'll be in town in March. I may just have to ask around where to sit at the TC to see some of ya'll

 

Cod have you heard anything about sideshow bob and the other Holiday brother being shopped or on our radar at all? They would seem like good depth pieces in return for BK.

 

Maybe I try to be too irreverent to keep it light. Anyway....March? I’ll keep in touch.

 

He did have "linsanity" under MDA

 

Chicago is a mess, and with Lavine out, they are deciding whether or not to try and make the playoffs or develop their youth. Lauri is a stud and so is Wendell. They are dealing with Jabari's unhappiness and his massive contract (massive in my eyes, I guess). He wants his minutes, his respect and a bigger role. Coach B has a different vision apparently.

There are suitors for JP, but the Bulls will lose in any trade. They gave him too much money. I've heard they would join a a multiple team scenario to move him.

Re Sideshow Bob: He is a favorite there, believe it or not and they are high on Holiday. Once they decide if ZL's absence is going to be longer or ongoing and season-changing, you'll hear more.

Sorry for the lack of info. Cyber would know more.

 

Sounds good.

 

Good point.

Another consideration: From players...our MVP is not incredibly fond of _ _ _ (again, I won't write that name for now). But, mgmt tries to keep James happy as much as they can and place players around him that he can lead and help improve. The vibe James and Tuck have is amazing. That's not by accident.

 

Appreciate the insights Cod! Merry Christmas!!

 

I vaguely remember Jeremy making some passive aggressive comments about our management team treating players like assets? This was after the whole Carmelo wall paper wearing Jeremy Lin’s Number 7 jersey while he was still on our team.

Or am I making this up? It’s been a while.

 

Blazers Game 4 was a tough one to stomach...

 

As always, thanks for the info @Codman.

I realize the standings are tight, but any word yet on how this loaded free agent class is going to impact the trade deadline? Are teams looking to make a splash this summer (some planning to sign two max FA’s) going to have a fire-sale?

 

That doesn't sound passive

 

How many of you realize this is a fake rumor?
Go ahead and show me a source where shams says Lin to Houston

Now I know why the Russians are so successful

 

Sorry. Found the quote - he tweeted a Bible verse LOL. Nvm, he was just straight up sensitive and not passive aggressive.

Note that Morey did the exact same thing for Bosh and Howard without Scola or Beverley getting butthurt about it. Both of those players clearly have a better reputation than Jeremy does among Houston Rockets fan - myself included.
