At this point, I'm not taking Jones out of the lineup unless it's for an allstar. He's on a roll right now. Im not saying Milsap isn't better, but if we ARE gonna hold onto Jones, we need to keep playing him. He needs the court time and he's getting better and more confident every game. I agree with you that Asik should be close to enough for Milsap; maybe Asik and a 2nd rounder, but strangely enough the 4 spot is not where we need to make adjustments. We need shooters and we need perimeter defenders and we need a back up 5. That's what we should be addressing. Milsap doesn't address any of those needs.
Do we have a new insider on the boards? I've never heard of Codman before (no offense implied Codman)
Gary may be in Indiana but people tend to think of it as an extension of Chicago. In fact, Gary, Indiana is CST as opposed to EST, which constitutes the rest of Indiana.
It's all good. I'm not an insider like Doc, Clutch, CyberX, Stevie(something) I just know a few people. When the deadline passes, I can be direct, but I don't want to harm my relationships/trust just because I'm a die hard fan.
I wasn't aware that is was considered as an extension of Chicago. I was aware that it is CST. I have been there once. The birthplace of Shawn Kemp.
Bruises heal - Either Jason or Asik Gary loves krisy kremes - Clippers want DMo. Makes a ton of sense for them, not sure what we would want. Wheres gary Vespas are cleaning up G's and F's - Hornets either want or are willing to trade guards and forwards Big brother wants more shine - Big Brother could refer to the NBA Gary and spoonbills full circle - Clippers, Pelicans, and Houston trade? Spoonbill's is certainly referring to the Pelicans. I agree that vespas is probably referring to the Hornets. I think I've put some things together. The Hornets are trying to "clean up the crowd at Forward and Guard". That also means that they are trying to fill a hole at Center, and we just happen to have one discontent center on our roster. I believe Clutch theorized about this. Not sure what to do with Gary. One of the former minority owners of the NOLA Hornets was Gary Chouest. Big Brother - ?
Ok. I've got it. 3 way trade between Houston, New Orleans, and Charlotte Bruises heal = Trade can't be commenced until someone is healthy. Probably Jason. Gary = Garyville, LA (just outside of New Orleans) Gary loves Krispy Kremes = NOLA wants Donatas Big Brother wants more shine = Bismak Biyombo wants more playing time, or the Big Easy (NOLA) wants more trade kicker, or Charlotte (NOLA's "big brother") wants more trade kicker. Vespas are cleaning up the crowd at Gs and Fs = Charlotte will trade Guards and Forwards in return for a center. Gary and Spoonbills come full circle = trade between NOLA and Charlotte means some former Hornets (NOLA players) will be Hornets again (Charlotte) So this would be what we have so far.... Houston Out: DMo, Asik Houston In: Jason Smith Charlotte Out: Charlotte In: Asik New Orleans Out: Jason Smith New Orleans In: DMo Obviously there are other pieces. I assume Ben Gordon and Eric Gordon are involved.

Big Brother = Morey Shine = playoff experience Morey wants a vet to come off the bench, preferably someone who's been to the Finals. Probably a backup for Harden. ?
