    Presumably Turner would also be going out right? Melo/Lee/O'Quinn make over 40 million and Harkless/Leonard only make 20 million.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    I'd find it hilarious if Houston ended up moving Ariza and Gordon to get Anthony. They'd actually be making their team worse overall.

    I understand the attraction of Melo (or Wade) in a buy-out situation, where perhaps they join you for the minimum. Not if you have to give up actual, important pieces of your team.

    Same team that gave Josh Smith the green light to jack 10 threes a game.

    Don't like that at all. We don't move any of our bad contracts and move three of our best value contracts instead - two that are expiring.

    We can't get rid of the bad ones (at least not in this deal) gotta try to consolidate a few of our decent ones for a good one for Gordon is my thinking maybe move crabbe in a deal for booker in BKN now that theyve run out of mediocre players to overpay.

    All I got to say they got everyone guessing who that 4th team is and who knows maybe we are not one of the teams at all. The only 2 team for certain is NY and Houston.

    The best part of this trade:

    [​IMG]

    and the real reason I proposed it, is that it would block @BigGameDamian from every playing the "Portland only wants to develop young players" card ever again!

    I think it is clear Portland is one of the teams. NYK wants Harkless.

    It's clear because it's all but been confirmed. Good job, sleuth.

    I don't know if New York does that. Solomon Hill is almost as useless as Leonard.

    I was questioning whether New Orleans does that, but it's about the same salary for Anderson for two years since Hill is on a 3 year deal and Ajinca has 2. And at least Anderson is a useful player unlike Hill.

    Also probably sub Ariza for Gordon. Don't think the Rockets would want to give up Gordon.

    If we get a $20M starter I want K-Lo. But since that ain't happening, nix this whole shit.

    No idea. Just playing off the other post suggesting New Orleans might want Anderson back. Figured I'd see what might work.
