OKc has two 2014 late first and several young assets, they're more likely to be the mystery team if there's one...
After the Harden fiasco they have to show Durant that they're doing everything (more like something) to help him win right now.
I know Philly is thinking about getting rid of Turner. Maybe a third team looking to grab him.

That would suck if it were OKC. Lol.
The mystery team is apparently Portland, tbh..
Asik isn't a huge upgrade over Lopez, but it could be an interesting move if they plan on moving Lopez to the bench..I don't know why they would with their chemistry, though..the Blazers are 29th in the NBA at defending the paint, they may feel like they require more defense up front..
Prove it lol
It was posted on the RealGm Wiretap, I didn't check the source, though..
Thats a little over the top. He would be good against Hibbert and solve some of their rebounding problems. He can't shoot free throws and Miami would have to play a more traditional lineup to justify lineup. He could actually make them easier to defend in certain lineups.
Already posted the idea but refining it :
Bonner + Green + first for Jameer Nelson + Harkless
Also read that the Bobcats were shopping MKG, buy buy buy... Green + two first tbh or a three teams trade with Splitter and a first...
Dude....
Boston front runners to land Asik per Woj..
Which ultimately means my hunch was right and the original mystery team was the Spurs. Once POR found out, the immediately developed serious interest in Asik as well and told Woj.
Bass + Courtney Lee + First Round Pick.
That is pretty cheap to be honest. Depending on which pick/protections Boston sends, they would actually be opening up cap space earlier in this deal since Lee has 3 years on his deal.
For HOU, Bass has some range so that makes sense, but a pretty underwhelming deal if you ask me. Especially since if they keep Bass and Lee, they don't open up any additional cap space either.
I think Houston could get something better than that. No pass Bass can shoot but meh.
Bass is a nice player, tbh, he's a solid 3rd big on a contender..
He's ok, but he would be their starting PF and 2nd big..
i love mkg. and green has the carolina ties. but i the idea of a green trade seems so sour tasting.

While I wouldn't take Lee (sucks + long contract), I really wouldn't mind Spurs taking Bass (I've already said it before).One scenario that emerged Wednesday would send Brandon Bass, Courtney Lee and a first-round pick from Boston to Houston for the disgruntled center, league sources confirmed. But that potential exchange struck rival GMs as strange, considering the lack of market there would be for Bass and Lee in future trades. Houston wants to fulfill Asik's trade request by Thursday so any players taken back could be repackaged in other deals before the Feb. 20 deadline.
"No one wants Lee or Bass on a third team or later deal," one executive said. "They make more than their skill set."
Spurs could be a decent third team in that trade scenario.
Whatever happens, I would rather see Asik go to an Eastern Conference team instead of landing on a team like Portland.
Per Woj, this is just a straight up deal between BOS & HOU.
Why would the Rockets take Lee's contract? This could work with Bogans or Brooks (though in his case, it would put the Celtics slightly over the tax; not that the Rockets would/should care) replacing Lee in the package.
More potential good news on the SF buyout front for the Spurs. In addition to Rush, who I mentioned recently, Butler may yet become available too. The Bucks are obviously in the midst of a disastrous season and with Antetokounmpo and Middleton both showing promise, it obviously makes no sense to waste minutes on Butler when he returns . . . granted, he'd probably pick the Thunder over the Spurs.
Asik is going to Boston. Book it.
lookz like bulls tryn to trade deng to
Hopefully the FO is working 24/7 on ways to trade for MKG... Green going back to North Carolina makes sense, it'd like the GHill deal in a way... MKG has the D to defend the best SF out there, he just needs a shooting coach and the Spurs have the best in the league... The offense defense balance will be much better with a defensive monster in each unit, put MKG between Bobo and Manu...
Btw the last two former Bobcats to come to the Spurs were Boris and SJax... Former Bobcats = win.
All the Asik interest came from Morey's long time friends, Angie and Hinkie.
I call it BS. Pretty sure Morey is massively disappointed with the offers he got and Asik is not going anywhere.

@ Rockets and Morey.
I'm sure there will have a great atmosphere when Asik will come back from his injury and play again with Rockets. Well played...
