    He’s legit. He owns the locked on podcast network, is good friends with Bullard, etc.

    Moore would be one of the best under the radar move we can possibly make imo, would also make Gordon more expendable since he can score, Temple on the other hand, eh, not a bad player but doesn't move the needle imo.

    To add on Evans, i'm not even sure we can trade for him unless we move Knight to Indiana, and they're not taking him back for a 1st (which would still be an overpay for us imo), they're projected to have cap space next summer and they'll probably go after a good PG or PF.

    Yes, it does! Maybe so, but it's not easy to complete a good trade.

    I’d be willing to bet that, if this is true, it will be for Garrett Temple. I can’t imagine anything less exciting than Garrett Temple...

    My bet is that it’s temple and green for knight and a pick as has been rumored. Green is the better get

    He is the radio voice of the Utah Jazz. I wouldn't trust any Jazz guy.

    Yep, there's a lot of rumors pointing to a deal with Memphis at this point, Codman's ears talked about that too.

    Was just thinking btw, what if it's Green and Holiday? Pretty sure he played multiple spots in Chicago, he's younger...

    David Locke is credible. He is also over the Locked On Podcast for those who listened to the Locked On Rockets with Ben DuBose. He covers mostly Jazz so I am interested to see the players are.

    Holiday is really bad on offense. Don’t love either but temple more natural fit

    Ideally if the grizzlies are really willing to take knight back for just 1 pick and include green we could expand it to a multi team trade. Huge salary matching opportunity.

    Green and Moore to Hou
    Knight and a 1 to Mem
    Temple and a 2 from Hou go NO

    Or some other player out there

    Holiday just was acquired recently. If Memphis is giving up on him, it would be pretty strange. He is not bad for an expiring 4.3 M guy. I don't think he is better than House. Temple has a left shoulder sprain. He is on a 8M expiring contract.

    Holiday is really bad on offense. Really bad. Maybe upside though not sure.

    He also can’t be aggregated can he? Can’t remember when he was acquired

    Satoransky from WAS would be a great get but don’t see it

    My money is still on temple and green with temple being salary filler so we can net green to play the 4

    It just seems crazy that Memphis is willing to move green and take back knight all for one pick. That’s a huge opportunity for us.
