@VergeDo you think we're putting this out there so we don't lose leverage in negotiations or what?

Not entirely sure. The extent of the information I have is that Carolina has contacted Houston in regards to Watson. It is not a smokescreen report.

dont tell me mr. in on every deal isnt in the mix.

I know you’re being sarcastic but as the old Kenny Rogers song, The Gambler, says: 
 

You got to know when to hold ‘em, no when to fold ‘em know when to walk away, know when to run

I think front offices simply don’t want the media and fans in on what they are doing.   So when it doesn’t work out….they get to pretend nothing happened and don’t have to address it.  

take Washington denying they are the team wanting Tua.  It would make sense.   But they don’t want  everyone to know that.   Because If you don’t get him….you still have to deal with what you have in house and may have to for some time.  So you get to play the cards that you always had complete faith in guys….that you actually want to upgrade on.

Yeah I don’t see how we are involved honestly we have no assets really. We’ve gave up a lot of picks next year as well.

I can't imagine that if the deal gets done before the trade deadline that the price will be anywhere near what Houston was asking.

All this crap is Houston "leaking information" to try to drum up interest. And nobody is interested.

I think plenty of teams are interested but not at the price Houston is talking. They want full retail price for an open box item that is missing parts and has a national recall issued on it.
