He doesn't consider NY? Sounds wierd.

Potentially force Melo's hand with the Bulls? S & T is off the table with the Lakers now, so lure him to Chicago straight up knowing Pau may be there instead of coming to NY. I don't know, just throwing stuff out there.

Re: 2014 Off-Season Thread

You hit the nail on the head. That's what they were trying to do with The Knicks and Bulls. The same difficulties they are going through is what they wanted to put on those teams. It wasn't them thinking those players were worth that money. They had every intention to destroy those teams by saddling them with those contracts for players they had every intention of bringing back. Looks like a troll to me.

No, he didn't make those moves to destroy those teams.

At the time the Rockets had NOTHING. Yao had just retired. They had nothing.
Remember that.

They had to acquire assets. Lin was young and was putting up all-star numbers and Asik was a Moreyball player who DM thought if given the mins could put up numbers and performance (he was right on that.)

So no, they did not do that just to screw up other teams. They did it because they wanted those players and had nothing else but Jeremy Lamb and...Kevin Martin?

Re: 2014 Off-Season Thread

My sis @ramonashelburne just reported San Antonio moves into pole position for Pau Gasol if Bulls can't complete sign-and-trade w/Lakers

Re: 2014 Off-Season Thread

What did you guys think we were going to do?

Melo wasn't coming here and LeBron damn sure wasn't coming here.

What was we suppose to do throw a max at Gordon Freaking Hayward, Chandler Parsons? Go after contract year Ariza, offer Bledsoe an offer sheet Phoenix would match?

Who the hell really wants to play for Jim Buss. He's proven himself to be a stubborn idiot, hell we still don't even have a coach and we gave an injured Kobe another big contract mid season.

Will continue to look bad for years until we get lucky. Won't be no stealing other team stars, reloading what ever the hell u want to call it going on no more and this is what needs to happen.

Re: 2014 Off-Season Thread

not sure if anyone said what else happened with isaiah to phoenix.

per woj/realGM, its a SnT

The Kings will receive a $7 million traded player exception, along with the draft rights to Alex Oriakhi.


Sam Amick reports that the Suns envision a three-guard lineup of Eric Bledsoe, Goran Dragic and Thomas.


---that 3 guard combo...has to put the fear into the western conference.

waiting for a booz-pau swap

We will agree to disagree. Lin was never getting that kind of money on the back end and neither was Asik. But that's your opinion my friend.

You know he wasn't coming to LA after James Worthy dissed him to his face in the meeting.

Or he probably wants a large-ish contract to be apart of the dumpster fire that the Knicks and Lakers situations are and is willing to take less for contending teams?

Please man, they structured those deals so that teams will be discouraged to match and if they do, they'll **** their teams up by paying scrubs max level money. Lin and Asik are both making 15 million dollars this year, but it would have only been like 8 million dollars apiece against the cap for the Rockets but that full 15 for against their former team's cap. They got what they deserved getting burned in the end.

Pau we got that international brotherhood over here..we don't have any Spain representers...you got this!

Re: 2014 Off-Season Thread

Now Dallas should go after Ariza if Houston matches for Parsons.

I'm telling you for a fact though. They really wanted Lin and Asik on their team. It's not my opinion here. When Morey traded Lin and Lin blew up in NYK Les lambasted Morey about it. This is a well known fact.

It's also a fact that Asik was a moreyball player. That they had liked him for some time.

They signed Lin thinking he had potential to be a great player and Asik too. They did not do it just to screw up other teams. That makes no sense in actuality, that you'll take on a bad contract just to mess up a team in a separate conference no less.
