rockets trade Asik to New Orleans.

 

Impressively enough, the Rockets apparently had enough respect for the Pelicans' front office to not demand three first-round picks for Asik and only required one from them.

The Pelicans have taken the best young player in the NBA and built a treadmilling 9 seed around him with no flexibility. Say what you want about the Hornets spending money, but at least our splurge made all-NBA and got us into the playoffs and most importantly didn't handcuff us from moving even more pieces this season. Even if Holiday stays healthy, what is the ceiling for that team? That division is absolutely brutal now nevermind the entire West.

 

And what fascinates teams about Asik so much? How does he send the Pelicans to the next level?

 

This is Morey's power play for Melo or LBJ (or both.) Only a matter of time before Lin gets moved. This has got to worry Chicago, because IMO their only pitch to Melo now is they have a much easier road in the East.

 

This is why I love this time of year. The draft is going to be crazy.

The Mavericks, who immediately made reacquiring Chandler one of their priorities after their first-round playoff exit against San Antonio, completed a trade with the Knicks that was clinched by agreeing to take back the contract of New York's out-of-favor guard Raymond Felton as well.

The trade cost Dallas two starters -- point guard Jose Calderon and center Samuel Dalembert -- along with prized young point guard Shane Larkin, reserve guard Wayne Ellington and the 34th and 51st picks in Thursday's draft.

Can't believe PD left it out, but this is Morey's power play for Melo or LBJ (or both.) Only a matter of time before Lin gets moved.

Good points CB...

 

As far as our spending, I didn't have an issue with it.  I didn't really prefer to spend big last offseason, but Big Al filled a long-neglected need, and he didn't break the bank either.  It was a perfect fit, and I was excited that we finally lured a big-name FA here, and at that, for a bargain of a contract (both in salary and length).  Big Al was the perfect move from any perspective you want to look at it from.

 

As far as the Morey/Rockets/Melo/LBJ stuff, I didn't post it here because I just created the thread, but I actually did mention that exact scenario a couple of hours ago in the "LeBron Opts Out" thread.

 

I heard on the radio earlier in the day that the Rockets are actually looking to move Harden and Lin )in addition to the now traded Asik), to clear room for LeBron and leverage Melo from NY.  If you're the Knicks and you're going to lose Melo anyway, I'd be ecstatic to walk away with Harden.

 

And just my two cents, but if they are going for Melo and LBJ, I'm pretty sure that means Parsons is gone as well.

S & T Harden for Melo and send Lin over in a salary dump (maybe that's what Phil set up for this afternoon) along with some picks...

 

Beverly

FA (Parsons was making just short of 1M, he could have been in this spot)

LeBron

Melo

Howard

 

They also have a much younger bench which is at the very least as deep as the Heat's was.

 

Insane that even after all that, it might not even be the best team in the West.

I think we should go get luol Deng now. It would really make us solid

Sent from my SM-G900R4 using CarolinaHuddle mobile app

I love Deng, but I think he ends up in Dallas or especially LA. LA will be the loser this offseason and probably a bad team again next year. Won't be getting Melo or James imo. They'll have to spend some money to keep their fans happy and Deng is the guy.

I wish we have a chance to get both Deng and Lance. Imagine how great our defense would be. But, realistically maybe we could land Lance + Parson.

PG: Kemba Walker / Gary Neal / FA

SG: Lance Stephenson / P.J. Hairston / Gerald Henderson

SF: Michael Kidd-Gilchrist / Chandler Parson / Jeff Taylor

PF: Noah Vonleh / Cody Zeller

C: Al Jefferson / Bismack Biyombo

      Bryce’s new look. He looks like a grown up

      By bandu · Posted

      take a  look around the league at other young Qb's around Bryce Young's age group  such as Drake Maye , Jayden Daniels, Bo Nix , CJ Stroud  & Caleb Williams who at the time like Bryce Young they also were drafted also joined teams with a losing record .the only difference with these Qb's is after joining their teams with a losing record they led those same teams to a winning record in a very short period of time .it's simply what you call a game changer & or elite Qb's & then take a  look at  the other side of the coin you have Qb's such as Trey Lance, Zach Wilson, Mac Jones, Justin Fields  & Anthony Richardson also like Bryce Young all first round picks who instead of winning either did not play or led their teams to a losing record while playing  just because Bryce Young was a #1 overall pick does not necessarily mean that he will become improve with time if history tells you anything it's matter of fact just the opposite . lBryce Young who has an overall record of 14-30 & wildly inconsistent & never in the history pf the NFL has a Qb 5'10" or shorter had a successful carrer as Qb in the NFL  you have to ignore alot of FACTS & be really ignorant to the FACT to think Bryce Young is the future at Qb if anything history is telling you exactly what ?..just saying

      to me these two signings were so bad for the Panthers at the time of our young team. "Sean Gilbert was signed by the Carolina Panthers on April 21, 1998, after being traded from the Washington Redskins in a deal that sent the Panthers two first-round picks (Nos. 5 and 12) to Washington. The Panthers then re-signed Gilbert to a 7-year, $46.5 million contract extension on the same date"  The other was Jason Peters being picked in the First round of the 1998 draft. "Peter played for the Panthers from 1998 to 2001, appearing in 38 games (starting 20) and recording 88 total tackles, 7.5 sacks, and 1 fumble recovery His NFL career was cut short by a chronic neck stinger, forcing him to retire after the 2001 season
