    Josh Smith/Sessions via FA and trades for LMA and it's Rip City Title Town.

    S/T JJ to GSW for 2nd rd pick(s) & a TPE, then use that TPE to bring in Robinson & Lopez, thereby preserving full MLE for backup SF & PG.

    What do they have to show for it? They have James Harden and Dwight Howard. That's a great thing to show for their roster moves. Arguably the top SG in the legue, now, and top C as well.

    I personally think the concept of a "Big 3" is over rated, depending on the quality of role players you put around guys. But Anderson's last year with Dwight, he put up 16 and 8, shot 39% from 3. Stretching the floor for interior play, a lot like Bosh was doing in Miami, to give Lebron and Wade space to operate down low. Bosh's defense is obviously better, but then, Houston will have Dwight's defense.
    I don't care much for Lin. Unsure whether he sticks around. And who would go after him.
    But, you're taking a 45 win team, and swapping(if this swap went through) Dwight Howard for Omer Asik, and Ryan Anderson for Thomas Robinson. That's a pretty good upgrade. And they still have Montiejunas and Jones as two young prospects to look to include in other potential deals.

    HMM Interesting. I wonder what happend to Josh Smith. That goes against all the other theories out there. But it makes sense for Houston
    Houston.

    I just don't see them as a title contender, at all.

    We don't have the full MLE because we are starting off under the cap. Only have room exception.

    Detroit looks like frontrunners to me. Assuming no S/T.

    nice out of the box thinking. Though they'd jhave to sign him for more than he's worth to fit them both into the TPE.
