NBA Offseason

[Matt90210]

Continuing to improve their draft assets, the Houston Rockets have traded the No. 14 pick and Samuel Dalembert to the Milwaukee Bucks for the 12th selection, Shaun Livingston, Jon Leuer and Jon Brockman, a league source told ESPN NBA Insider Chad Ford on Wednesday.

The Rockets already had acquired the No. 18 pick from the Minnesota Timberwolves for Chase Budinger and the draft rights to Lior Eliyahu.

Sources have told ESPN.com's Marc Stein that the Rockets are hoping to acquire enough assets to entice the Magic to trade Dwight Howard to them.

Wow... Interesting

[Cnasty]

Those 3 mediocre players won't do it

They have like 4 or maybe 5 first rounders now.

[Cnasty]

Still won't do it.

Howard isn't going to a team to build. And with this new 30 year old hot shot GM in Orlando, I see him giving Orlando more of a chance than leaving.

Howard is Brooklyn bound in 2 years, as per the ridiculous amount of $$ he will get from Adidas

2 years = 2 seasons to me.

season 1 = final yr in Orlando/Houston (if thye trade)
season 2 = UFA and signs in Brooklyn

I could be way off but i don't get the Bradley Beal hype

[cdub21]

im just not sure how ive never heard of a top 10 draft pick until the week of the draft. damian lilliard? i mean curry, maynard, cole on miami, those guys came from little schools but were known atleast by the tourney.

[cdub21]

after looking over some mock drafts, i really havent heard of alot of guys, i actually watched more college this year too. weird.

not as much as VVV apparently

I get it... just not sure that I buy it. He's got the strong frame / body... was an excellent shooter coming into college, but didn't shoot very well in the first few months... plays pretty good defense and is very active in rebounding. On top of this, Donovan has mentioned on a few occasions that Beal barely started showing his true potential. I'd hate to be in a position where I had to choose between Beal / MKG / Barnes. All of them have some tremendous qualities, while none of them have completely lived up to potential or have some kind of alleged glaring hole in their game. Maybe this is just me, but if I were in that situation, I'd trade down and aim for Terrence Ross.

im amped to watch the Raps fuck this up and take some white dude from Yugoslavia or something.

this guy at my work ownes a small share in the warriors, the same guy who told me that the celtics didnt like nate robinson and the next day he was traded, said the warriors have a whole bunch of stuff on the table on what to do with the pick. they might trade it , or package a few of there picks to move up, or even trade for a nba player and move back.all he could tell me is that there is a whole lot of movement on what they could do. just have to see who goes from 1-6.

So, he basically gave you every possible option on what they can do and said they'd do one of those options?


I kid, I kid...kinda.
