Re: Official POST-LOCKOUT Player Movement Thread (Trades, FAs, etc)
I have a question. Does anyone think the Nets could make some noise if the Trade for Howard works and we get Nene? Would that work or would the price just be to much? I mean thats Williams, Howard and Nene all out on the floor at one.

Really? The only people that are left are Nene and Dalembert. Most of the top FA have signed or are under offer sheets.Comment

Okay, I'm finally caught up after getting derailed in the annual OS "rap tournament", lol.
What'd I miss...
- Yet another mind-numbing off-topic debate about Kobe and the Lakers (that was painful, thank you mods for squashing it)
- We're getting Marc Gasol!!!!
- Wait, no, we're helping Memphis out again...
- DeAndre is getting paid (not shocked)
- Clippers are the new front-runners for Paul (I love it)
Here's my rant on CP3 and Howard. If you have to trade your key parts for either one, YOU ABSOLUTELY DO IT.
Kobe/CP3
Blake/CP3
Deron/ Dwight
Kobe/Dwight
Rose/Dwight
Those are SCARY combinations. You can find shooters, defenders, athletes etc. on the cheap. Hell, Houston is full of "spare parts" on good contracts. I wish we had one star, and teams are looking at the possibility of locking up two (arguably the very best at their positions) but getting greedy saying "no dice, we want three". Morey understands this concept but unfortunately cannot land a Bosh let alone a Paul or Howard.
Anyway, for Dwight I'd absolutely give up Gasol/Bynum, Noah/Taj, Brook/whatever it takes. CP3 is trickier because he and Kobe both dominate the ball, and they'd give up their inside presence (without getting Dwight back which is risky with Kobe's declining health) but I'd still consider it. I would give up the farm as the Clips, but only if he signed an extension, otherwise that's a lot of hard work and tough it out rebuilding years for the fans potentially walking out the door.Last edited by Streets; 12-11-2011, 11:21 PM.Comment

Re: Official POST-LOCKOUT Player Movement Thread (Trades, FAs, etc)
they beat Portland, LA, OKC and Miami and yet it was fluke in his eyes...
was Miami and LA not the heavy favorites entering last year?
but it's cool i don't expect Lakers fans to give the Mavs any credit for beating their team...it was all about what the Lakers didn't do as opposed to what Dallas did do.
At this point i would love to see Dallas kick their rear end again since last year was a fluke beating LANCAA FOOTBALL 14 ALUMNI LEGENDS CPU vs CPU DYNASTY THREAD

Free agency just wasn't what I expected considering how little time they have before the season starts.Comment

All of that said, I cannot help but to say, wow, laid out like that I didn't realize your path to the chip included so many great teams. That seriously has to be one of the toughest roads to the finals I've seen. Respect.
Getting back on topic...
As a Rockets fan (yeah no one cares about us) I don't want to see us overpay for a NeNe or a Dalembert when they will eat cap, won't help us contend and give us a slightly lower draft pick. As ex puts it, they won't "move the needle"
- I'd rather we play the youngsters in this throw away season
- Explore draft pick trade options for Scola/Martin
- See which of our young good contracts sink and who swims, the swimmers will up their trade stock
- Have a good draft, capspace for free agency, and young spare parts with inflated trade values for sign and trades
- Make a run at a star by hook or crook
- Build from there
This #14 pick mediocrity stuff is killing me, but I understand it's a business and we can't outright tank or risk losing money. It's just depressing as a fan.Last edited by Streets; 12-11-2011, 11:34 PM.Comment
