    Now that Dwight is (allegedly) staying with the Magic, is there any chance the Rockets could lure/trade for D-Will and then trade away Lowry+Scola for Pau?

    As much as I'd be sad to see Lowry go, that would be a HUGE upgrade (although apparently the trade machine says it would decrease our win total by 7... how is that possible)!

    and an expiring contract.


    However, he is a much better defender than Scola.

    Well, you can sign Will Conroy as PG and let Dragic be the back-up SG ... :rolleyes:

    I like this but out lineup would be:
    Dalembert / Lopez / Smith
    Gasol / Hill
    Parsons / Bud
    Harden
    Nash / Dragic

    because those players aren't coming over until maybe next season and TWill will almost certainly be cut if he's not traded. I think we could find a backup SG or Dragic can play the combo.

    +Philly sends first round pick

    Philly can't say no to this. It's really the absolute perfect deal for them. Lowry's a Philly kid, Lee is the perfect perimeter roleplayer, Patterson helps ease the sting of losing Vucevic. Let's face it: Lou Williams is an undersize SG, not a point guard. This lets him play that position.

    +New Jersey sends first round pick & renounces rights to Rockets first rounder

    Since Howard is staying in Orlando, NJ plans to try to add reinforcements around D-Will so that he stays and they can inaugurate the new Brooklyn arena properly. Sending out Parsons hurts, but for a top 10 (top 5 if we're REALLY lucky) lottery pick, Marshon Brooks, and our pick back, I think it's worth it.

    Now, with the Knicks pick, New Jersey pick, our pick back, and Philly's pick, we have a ton of draft choices in a loaded class. Possibly we could combine some and/or some assets to move up farther if there's a guy we really like. We also have the following prospects:

    Holiday/Llull
    Brooks/Turner
    Morris/Turner
    Motiejunas
    Vucevic

    There's your rebuild.

    @K-Low_4_Prez & ArtV

    Bud switch to SF to SG or SG to SF,
    Parsons playing time 30+ minutes, Harden playing time 30+ minutes,
    Bud playing time will be 30+ minutes that's good for Bud, just as long as there's no injuries.

    Money off the books for New Orleans--lots of it once you count Eric Gordon about to get paid. And a legit prospect to boot.

    I think they'd rather part with Gordon than their top 3 pick, to be honest.

    You'd have to follow that up with a trade for Martin. If we're gonna take on Okafor's deal, you gotta move Martin's salary out.

    Yep, I think that's pretty obvious. I wonder who would take him?

    :p

    I still dream of acquiring Derrick Williams or Pekovic for Martin... but I doubt Kahn does it. At least without some significant sweetening of the pot.

    Do you think he would do it if we sent this:
    [​IMG]
    And also sent the Knicks pick on over? They have no draft pick in this loaded class.

    Do you think WE should do such a thing?
