2013 Official NBA Off-season Movement & Rumors (Merged threads)

Are you smoking crack?!

It's absolutely a playoff line up. Not a contending yet, but definitely a team that can get hca in the first round.

Houston's reason to agree to that would be as a favor to Howard, to ensure he gets a bigger contract. But they could sell him on the idea that if they just sign him, they can surround him with better talent.
Reason why LA might not want Asik: they want to maximize cap room for the incredible 2014 FA group.

Knowing the Spurs they would make him an All-Star. All kidding aside they could be the prefect fit for him

 

There was no one that thought Portland was a playoff team last season. They actually thought the blazers would be worse than they finished

 

I wonder if Aldridge, leonard and maybe Matthews could net asik and horford?

 

How exactly is that going to work?

 

trade machine is broken again... you'd think something so popular would be a well-oiled machine.

Stunned we haven't heard about a massive Pekovic offer sheet yet. Assume it's only because Pek is off in Alaska wrestling grizzlies.

This made me laugh only because I could immediately envision it as true.

 

The Blazers are popular.....Just sayin

 

Imagine they got it down to get in the new salaries. Aggravating, though, because I feel like last year, it then wasn't up until the mroatorium was over.

 

RealGM has one too.... but it's not very good.

 

I really don't know man.

Maybe Houston sends picks and Lin to Atlanta and asik to Portland, Portland sends Aldridge to Houston and Matthews to Atlanta, Atlanta sends horford to Portland?

 

No, any deal would require Josh Smith to go from Atlanta to Houston.

Aldridge would have to go to Atlanta. That's the only way Horford is included I think.

So maybe Smith to Houston for Asik + filler.

Asik+Horford for Aldridge+Matthews+Leonard.

That's the only way I can see it happening, but it doesn't seem like a good option because neither Horford or Asik is really a scorer. They're both realistically centers and that makes them somewhat redundant.

 

RealGM has a version of the trade machine I believe. EDIT: Nevermind. I see you mentioned that.

 

Yeah never mind.

Personally I think Portland hits a home run this summer if they can get asik and Allen this offseason.

New pieces of Allen, cj, Robinson, asik, crabbe, and withey already is solid

 

If that can be done, and Lillard continues to progress, I think we could be a 4th or 5th seed.

 

Cross Iggy off.

Denver Nuggets free-agent forward Andre Iguodala has a long day of meetings scheduled in Los Angeles on Monday. He's expected to speak with the Nuggets, New Orleans Pelicans, Sacramento Kings, Golden State Warriors, Detroit Pistons and Atlanta Hawks, a source told Yahoo! Sports.

So if we make to the wcf; you think Aldridge stays?

 

Probably best. Iggy is a bit expensive for us
