    Won't work if this quote from Woj was true (and it probably is):

    The fourth team was needed to move a particular player contract that neither the Knicks nor Rockets could or would accept in the deal, league sources said.

    That player is probably Turner.

    Kind agree. But I can't remember if it was Gordon or Landry or both who quit on him.
    I just remember hearing rumors they believed one of those two was healthy, yet refusing to play.

    Speculation is that unwanted player could have been Anderson, or perhaps Meyers Leonard. Not sure why you think it's Turner. I proposed the trade I did specifically such that Anderson stays in HOU and Leonard stays in POR. Turner actually seems to play better in the East. If HOU unloads Ariza and Gordon instead of Anderson, they can play Anderson at the 4 and Anthony at the 3 (somewhat appeasing Mike D'Antoni).

    I think I'd rather have Trevor Booker instead of as Portland.

    Do you think HOU says no to a Carmelo deal because they refuse to move Trevor Ariza, who is in the last year of his contract anyway?

    If he REALLY wants to play with Melo and CP3 that badly, he can always sign a vet min contract with HOU next summer when both Carmelo and CP3 will also be re-signing there.

    Actually if you read the quote, it says neither Houston nor NYK could or would take this contract. The keyword is could. It can't be someone from New York or Houston, so presumably it is coming from the third team.

    It's either Leonard or Turner. I find it hard to believe it's Leonard, he makes less than Turner and plays a position that aren't going to devote to someone else. It also makes the deal work.

    In place of Jeremy Lin? Do we really need another back up PF more than we need a back up PG?

    In any case, Booker in place of Lin also works with the same caveat about HOU sending one of their many non-guaranteed $1.3 million contracts back to BRK.

    I'd be okay with this, but supposedly Milwaukee wants to off Teletovic's contract and he's a similar player to Anderson. So unless they could do that I don't see why they make this swap.

    I think he'd be starting. Not a bad player to go against in practice either.

    That's the beauty of sending Crabbe to BRK. They can absorb most of his contract and wanted him anyway.

    I certainly hope your sentence ends up being factual. I just can't stomach losing Harkless and gaining Anderson.
