First thing that came to mind with that Houston trade is that they are going to package the 14 & 18 for a top five pick.

Teams are inquiring about Anderson Varejao, but the Cleveland Cavaliers haven't been impressed with any of the offers they've received.
I thought that it was lottery protected, Doc?
Maybe I'm confused, but I feel like Charlotte is already trying to sabotage themselves, but I don't admire their position in having to take what I think is a gamble on Robinson.

Lots of teams calling Denver to trade for Nuggets' young players. 1of several moves being discussed: Wil Chandler to G State for 7th pick
I assume GS would be sending out a wing if they're getting Chandler?
Man am i the only one feeling that picks are worth in this draft ?
Chase freaking Budinger for the 18th and now Wilson Chandler for the 7th pick ? Really ?
If GS trades the 7th pick for Chandler they have the dumbest FO in the NBA by far. They paid 11m to get our 1st round pick and now they're gonna trade a nice lottery pick for Wilson Chandler?

Yes, Brockman's so good, they traded him twice. Sorry. Livingston, Brockman and Leurer and 12th pick to Houston for Dalembert and 14th pick.

Houston holds the 12th, 16th and 18th picks in Thursday's draft now. They'll keep working to move up.
Way to go Houston.
I don't really get that trade for Milwaukee. Dalembert looks good on paper but he doesn't have a history of actually making teams better. There's a reason why ever team who has him is continuously looking to get rid of him. Then again, Milwaukee is the same team that got fooled by Drew Gooden so I guess we shouldn't be surprised.
IMO, Jon Leuer is the best player in the trade. He's a stretch four with an intriguing amount of talent who was already a legit rotation player as a rookie. If he improves at all, the Rockets got a major steal.
It would make some sense if the bucks felt they had a legit chance to win a le next 2 years and needed that piece. Instead they have dropped two slots and got rid of a decent prospect.
One thought is that they hope they can flip him later or have another deal in mind. He is for trade purposes an expiring contract since the second year left is a team option.
If there was any truth to Houston vein players for Dwight Howard, they now have some nice assets. We haven't heard the last from the rockets.
My saying, "Has to have" isn't strong enough; absolutely, unequivocally has, is more like it", was in response to you saying, "Splitter has to have more value than Budinger".

Mo Williams will pick up '12-'13 option and accept trade to Utah, league source says.
Williams' decision completes trade sending Lamar Odom to Clippers without Mavs having to take back salary.
Good move for the Clips - If Lamar is motivated, he adds even more length, skill and versatility to their front court. If he's not, well, they didn't lose too much IMO. You can find shooters and Bledsoe came on towards the end of the season somewhat.
I wonder if Lamar agreed to extend his deadline on his option so the Clips could waive him for only a portion of his contract or not?

ESPN sources: Rockets actively shopping Luis Scola in trade talks. Linkage: http://es.pn/OPuBxt
Here we go.....
Even though his game seems to be taking a hit with age I would have still liked Scola on the Spurs if his contract wasn't so ridiculous. But with 3 years 30 mil left no thanks.
hrmm
Spurs send rockets Spanoulis, a future 2nd round pick and cash considerations to the Rockets for Scola and Jackie Butler.
Make it happen RC!
Maybe they amnesty him..lol..wishful thinking....3 years $30+ mil...not gonna happen.
If Spurs want to add a PF with a bad contract, I would rather go with Tyrus Thomas than with Scola.
I wouldn't go so as far as Bruno did with Tyrus freaking Thomas, but i don't want to be the team paying Scola 30m in the next 3 years.
His defense is horrible and he is coming from a down year getting 6 rebounds a game. That's pathetic.
The only way i see Scola coming to SA is in big trade involving 3/4 teams and we somehow get Scola for Jax's expiring or Bonner + some of our scrubs.
Other than that, i don't see SA offering someone like Splitter for him.
Scola would be nice to have if he weren't overpaid and old.
