That Chicago rumor is hilarious. How is that even close to say Andrew Bynum? Boozer is 30 and vastly overpaid. I like Asik but there is no way I'd ask for Omer over Joakim. Deng is a very good role player, an All-Star, but no way is he a star you could build around. I'd put money that this came from Chicago.
All your points are true Denny and I actually think Howard is smart enough to realize this. And if he wanted to be in nj with Williams, would he still be the man? It's the same situation but rose us clearly much better than Williams. I wish the Blazers were an enticing market because I think Allen would pull the trigger in a heartbeat if they had an opportunity for Howard.
This is coming from Ken Berger at CBS Sports, plus CNNSI and a few other sources. Orlando wants to make this deal. I forgot to mention the Bulls take back Hedo's big contract in the deal, which makes up for them taking Boozer. You have to balance out the salaries. And like him or not, Boozer is a near all-star player, and a former all-star. The deal is TWO all-stars plus a coveted backup C. Tho I do think that Bynum is the better player. What i'm surprised is that the deal isn't Noah and Deng and Taj (or Asik) plus Charlotte's protected #1 pick for Howard and Hedo. Makes more sense for both teams.
Bynum has injury problems and is a bigger risk, IMO. Also he's a punk that would bitch and moan about going to Orlando. I still think Chicago says hell yeah giving Noah and the pick.

According to Ben Goliver there has been "nothing" on the Felton front lately. Questionable method by our inept management, yes? Yeah, lets wait until he destroys any trade value before we seriously shop him.
Seriously. Just went up a few notches the egomaniac ladder. Won't go to a major market and partner with one of the top 5 players in the league (top 3? #1?) plus Noah AND they could sign him to a bigger deal than if he walked in free agency? Hes a far cry from the goofy kid with a likable personality of his early years in the league. I like the Bledsoe/Gomes for Crawford trade. Bledsoe's not a great prospect, but he kind of reminds me of Kyle Lowry minus the elite level defense. I'd see if you could get some other decent prospect for Crawford as I don't know if Bledsoe would develop well under Nate but if not then go for it. Gomes would be a nice floor-spacing PF next to Aldridge for 12 mpg as well.
Worse than that. Nate would try to turn him into Nate (shudder). The guy is a point guard assassin. Just ask Maris.
I would have been happy to give Bledsoe a shot (with a different coach) but not at the cost of taking back Gomes (and his salary).
Seems like most of the national media guys think Crawford is one of the most likely players in the league to be traded before the deadline.
Little overreacting there. I think we know the Value of Felton and its not high at all. Doubt we can even get a 1st rounder for him, no reason to move him just to move him. Sit him on the bench and let him expire.
I would love Bogut on this team next to LA and Batum. Nothing we have tops Curry and doubt we were really talking with them for him anyway. I can see the WArriors giving up Curry because of his ankle problems.
Oh my God! Rick Adelman wants to be the Blazer GM! He's shy about saying he wants to be the Coach so as not to hurt McMillan's feelings. http://www.portlandtribune.com/sports/story_2nd.php?story_id=130654755081962400 This franchise is so lucky!
Maybe it's a good sign? Isn't it true that the rumored deals are usually the dead deals? If there isn't word, then maybe something is in the works? One can only hope.
I dont' remember everyone who but multiple people on NBA podcasts have come out and said when the public hears of a trade its either dead or has just been accepted. Those deals can still happen (like us with Wallace). I know Chris Brossoud(or however he spells his name) said it and Mark Cuban as well as Jalen Rose have said this.
