@ Lakers. di Antoni might be one of the reasons.


Dallas now open for business, according to Cuban.

So, how this will affect our division? we have to get that homecourt advantage this year

[Mugen]

If AK or Milsap care about playing for a contender than there aren't very many options beyond the Spurs tbh.

the big question now, where does zaza pachulia end up?

That trade would have to be made AFTER Houston uses its cap space on Howard. They won't be sending Smith's full salary's worth back to Atlanta, so they'd take on money in that deal no matter whom they included (outside of Lin). They need to make the room before that, so they'll move the necessary players as their first official business.

Maybe they will get a third team involved. I think HOU will move Lin also but obviously ATL wouldn't want him with all their guards.

[Blackjack]

All is well.

Still in the Metroplex?

Yessir. I'll get back home someday, got a family now - in the process of turnin my two boys into Spurs fans.

I'll learn 'em.

[Baam]

Asik wants out according to Stein , too bad we comited to T-Vag already...

I think they will too. Obviously, teams still have five days to get their ducks in a row, but they need a concrete set of deals in place to be able to know for sure they can afford Howard and whomever else they're targeting. If they got Aldridge that would be just sick.

[Cowboys_Wear_Spurs]

Asik/Lin are getting moved.

Neither player has a role on that team with the money they're making. Rockets have a hole at the 4 spot.

But who would want them. They are set to make 15 mil a piece next year. I honestly don't see either getting trade as no team wants that consider that Lebron, Melo, Wade, Bosh, Wall, Bryant, Granger, Gay, Dirk, Gasol, Bogut, and even Bonner will be potential FA next year. This doesn't include all the shooters that will be on the market next year as well. With the Strongest draft and FA to come along in years, most teams don't want to take on long-term contracts, especially ones where you are paying 15 million to a guy not even close to being worth that money.

I think Houston are stuck with them. They screwed themselves with putting the poison pill in those contracts.

imagine if gary neal joins the rockets

Because if we hadn't signed splitter, Houston would definitely be trading him to us for nothing instead of to Atlanta for Josh Smith.....

[rjv]

bynum to mavs ?

[milkyway21]

what? Howard + Rondo is a duo to reckon with not mentioning other Rockets (Harden, Millsap)

so he got his wish afterall


Celtic's tanking for Wiggins

Congrats and good luck.

[Blackjack]

Congrats and good luck.

Thank ya, sir.

But 'Jack don't need no luck.

We're gonna watch a game together next season, es gonna happen . . .

sad for GSW they even shopped Lee

They are not making 15mil a piece next year. They are about 17mil combined.

Both have 2yrs left and Asik is one of the best defensive Cs in the league with a decent contract. He'd garner a lot of interest and teams would be willing to absorb Lin to get him tbh.

They are technically making $15 Million each, but they only count for $17 Million against the cap.

[Cowboys_Wear_Spurs]

NOBODY is going to trade for him with that 15mil being owed him next year. Rockets will have to throw in Parsons to make that deal work IMO. I can see Atlanta doing a S&T, giving up Smith for Asik/Parson, but I don't think the Rockets will do that. I think any team taking on Asik contract will ask for Parson as well. Atl needs a C and SF at this point.

Possible Brett Brown replacement

I have tickets to every game. Just let me know when you're coming to San Antonio.

I could see that.

Look at their contracts, they both are own 15 million a piece next year. Houston poison pilled their contracts so the Bulls or Knicks wouldn't match their contracts last year.
