Houston is talking about trading Harden to NY for Melo. (Melo would do a sign and trade.) I would rather have Harden over Melo but considering how OKC got rid of him and now reportedly Houston is looking to do the same you have to wonder if he's a locker room problem.
Why does John Clownzano keep posting non Blazers shit in the Blazers twitter forum. He's been doing this all day long. His tweets havn't even been about basketball.
OKC didn't want to pay Harden max money, and the rumor is only coming from Chris Broussard who is known for his fake "sources".
This is actually better then I thought Houston would get for Asik, especially if the rumor is that it could be a late lottery pick if the pelicans miss out on the playoffs next year.
I don't think OKC wanted to pay him even $10M due to luxury tax consequences. And I liked the Evans signing. NO gained 7 wins over their previous record. In the tough West, no less.
I think that had more to due with the Brow improving and Jrue Holiday being pretty good but Evans wasn't bad. Would be interesting to see how Evans and Holiday played alongside each other at the end of the year but both seemed to be unable to stay on the court.

So the Mavericks and Rockets are making moves Do something meaningful, Neil. The Blazers need to get better.
The closer this draft gets the more I hope the Blazers don't do anything. Do we need another young player in this group?? If we could get rid of Leonard it might be worth it.
How did this move make the Mavericks better next year? The only thing it does is clear up cap space for 2015, unless they think Carmelo Anthony will sign there. I'm still not sure that makes them better, though. Chandler hasn't played in over 66 games the past 3 seasons, and only had 55 last year in his worst season statistically since the Mavs' title year.
Per Woj: Asik to New Orleans for a future first being finalized, looks like HOU is clearing capspace for a try at Lebron/Melo Pels-Rockets trade deal won't be finalized until July 10, when the league's moratorium ends. Read more: http://hoopshype.com/twitter/media.html#ixzz35iBhBAej
The Pelicans will arguably have a better 4/5 combo than the Blazers next season If Neil just stands pat and signs a low impact MLE player and hopes the young guys improve then next year will be a waste
I don't get the fascination with USG. All it means is that they drew up plays for him and he was able to get shots off. In fact, it is an indication that they really wanted him to shoot.
You say that mockingly but Evans was 15 5 and 5 essentially on 28 mins a night. If they can ever balance that lineup Evans is a good young piece to have even more so if he can ever learn to make long range jumpers.
