Ty Lawson traded to the Rockets!

Buying the season TV package next season. This move puts us there with anyone in the league as a championship contender.

 

I'm all for him. Just curious though. Which is a better party city? Denver or Houston?

 

The trade machine had the Rockets over the cap when they aren't. I think there are some cap holds and KJ's salary involved but in the end the Rockets could use the below-tax 150% rule even if the trade machine can't.

 

Take our bench players, and give us your borderline all star. K thnx

 

Good deal. We finally have a true PG on the team that will take some of the load off James. We will also have a playmaker on the court at all times.

 

And robbery is an understatement for what we gave up.

 

Agreed, this trade makes me feel a lot better about loosing Smith.

Although I personally would of preferred trading Jones for a pick and re-signing Smith since Jones AND Dmo are going to be free agents next summer, but I trust Morey made the right decision.

 

We didn't even give up terrance jones. Since we lost Josh smith, I wonder if we will just go ahead and keep jones?. Man if we sign Jason terry, will be pretty stacked.

 

Lakers wanted him but Denver preferred our trade package and not theirs lol?

Nuggets waiving prigs

 

Bingo, this is the exact same trade that Bima mentioned as it makes the most sense. The minimum amount of salary and the 2 large unguaranteed contracts that are huge chips for a team looking to save money.

 

Lawson ruined his trade value on purpose! It all makes sense now!

Knew he was going to the Rockets and hurt his own trade value so the Nuggets couldn't ask for much in return (not even T.Jones was on the table anymore)

Well that's the only reason I can see why the Nuggets got scraps!

 

Luxury tax number changed so it's 150 percent.

 

ROBBERY

 

Every player is only as good as his last game. I guess the GM is as well.

The Rockets were high on him so that's all that matters RT. We don't see what they see correct. Lol

 

Can you smell what Morey is cooking?
