[Woj] Rockets finalizing deal to send Omer Asik to New Orleans

I guess this means we're landing a big fish.

 

Meanwhile Doc Rocket is still pounding the Kevin Love drum

 

I think each individual star player is low probability.

I don't know if Love is low probability anymore, everything is fluid.

I don't think GS offered a kings ransom honestly. Lee is over paid greatly and Barnes hasn't developed. There is conflicting reports on Klay.

Maybe the feeling is that with the GS thing fizzling the Rockets have a shot, IDK.

I agree with Meh though, the Rockets willingness to take on bloated salaries like Martin and/or Chase B could be a big benefit.

I like the trade, freeing up some Cap Space(City) Linsanity is next, but who can they trade them to? I hope we get LeBron and have the right pitch for him to come to Houston.

 

He probably has no clue what he's talking about, but a trade like:

Parsons (option picked up)
Jones
Lin
NOP pick
#25
2 future firsts
2 future seconds
Cash
TPE (from Asik trade)

For

Kevin Love
Kevin Martin

Would be a great haul for Minnesota and leave the Rockets with Dwight, Love, Harden, Beverley, Martin, DMo, MLE, and BAE to work with along with their nonguaranteed contracts to trade (Dalembert? Koufos?). Could Houston even keep Parsons in that trade? Just something to consider.

 

So, should i go ahead and start the 2014 Pelicans watch thread?

 

No, I have the sneaking suspicion that the Rockets never actually use that pick.

 

Same here...

 

You have to be smoking crack.

5 draft picks (3 first, 2 seconds)
nearly 10 million in cap space (8mill TPE + cash)
LIN
TJones
Parsons

 

That team could probably make the playoffs in the East LOL!

 

If the Rockets deal Lin to a third team...

They can take Love (16 million) and Shved (3 million) and Martin (7 million)

And give up

TPE
Jones (1.9 mil), Parsons (1 mil) the Pelican #1, future #1

That saves the Timberwolves a lot of money (23 million it his year).

I am on a flight so I cannot double check, but they should be able to that.

 

Morey is a genius. Fantastic trades with so MANY options moving forward.

 

Don't see Parsons in the deal for Love.

 

Unless it turns in a top 5 pick and we are capped out allready we hou lent use the pick
Lowry raptors pick all over again

 

no ****
i see lot of block shot coming up

 

LOOng read to catch up. But Les Said he would pay to bring another championship. Whether he will pay NY Nets $$ is another story. But I don't believe he will have to.

Congrats to NO will be fun to watch them.

Lebron I think is a pipe dream, but Melo, Birdman and Isaiah K. with another pill might easily be doable. Leaving room for more deals and expansion of the roster.

 

unfortunately there is only one greg popovich

 

Picks 4-19.... wow that is amazing. Maury strikes again...

How has he been shunned from being the GM of the year?

 

Melo and LeBron are our obvious targets.. But I firmly believe if we strike out on those two, we have a trade lined up for Kevin Love. Morey would trade Parsons/Jones/25/2015 first round pick from NO for Kevin Love and Kevin Martin. We bring in Deng for MLE and fill bench with vet min contracts... Folks that could work..
