Don't trade Jeremy noooooooooo

Morey probably ends up getting Rondo too while hes at it.

For once, I agree with Darkside.

Without lin, Parsons becomes a shell of a corpse of what he once was. Lin is his the gadgets to parsons batman,

I don't understand "not liking" advanced stats. They're just tools man. Why would you want to have less data?

Because he's an idiot who relies on the "eye test." Muhammad looks like he should be an NBA, right? He's definitely got length and whatever else Flip looks for.

I had heard that the Wolves were one of like four teams in the league that didn't use Synergy. I'm guessing that's still true today.

Congratulations Rockets-age.

This is all just too crazy, it hasn't sunk in yet for me. I'm going to be so shitfaced tonight. WOOOOOO!!!!

I've just been blasting music while watching the fireworks out of my window.

Today was a good day.

 

[LegendofJoe]

the Knicks must be feeling the heat from the Russian down the road, so naturally they go out and up the ante for the contest to decide which organization can look the most inept. Who ya got NY Prokorov or Dolan?

 

[Colonel Nasty]

Congratulations Rockets-age.

I believe it when I see it.

Who could want Lin? The tankers: Raptors, Celts, Sixers? Maybe he and Asik in a package deal?

 

[Truphenom]

What if Melo decides to take his ETO next summer, goes to a different team, and the Knicks are stuck with a roster of Felton, Bargnani, and Amar'e as their three best players?

If we get to keep our '15 pick then it's not so bad lol.

The league instituted rules stating that teams can't give away consecutive picks anymore... because of the New York Knicks. So you're in luck, you get to keep at least one 2015 first rounder!

Houston is confident entering the meeting with Dwight Howard tonight. They think they'll land him. One source described Rockets as "cocky."

How can you be cocky with this guy? I don't get it :\

 

[Talon]

Lin and Asik's salaries match up about to a max contract.

Morey loves Josh Smith.

Ferry wants to team up Horford with a strong Center.

This is a match made in heaven - even with the Linbatross. Come on, Houston! Imagine the shot blocking and transition buckets! Ignore the 20 foot jumpers and lack of effort!

See, it isn't always bad news. I look forward to see who the Knicks and Nuggets draft in '15 and '16. The Nuggets pick will prob be in the deeper more talented draft as well.

It's actually because of the Cavs. Sorry to ruin your Knick bashing. I'll see myself out.

Yeah, it's really hard for me to go with the "eye test" and think that Shabazz or Kevin Martin helps a team win.

Maybe if you don't pay attention to anything happening in the game other than when those guys are getting shots up (even then, not sure Shabazz passes the eye test). Martin-Bazz-Love starting together probably leads to a bottom 5 defense in the NBA.

UPDATE: Knicks trade for Bargnani will NOT be approved by NBA tonight. As a result, teams will have to restructure under 2013-14 cap figures

dunno if this means anything

Actually no, but Adelman's sons have front office jobs. Glen Taylor is all about cronyism. The guy that married one of his daughters is the team's CEO. They've since divorced, but he kept his job. Must be nice.

Give Morey 15 minutes and he could probably talk Dolan into giving him Shumpert and 4 draft picks for Lin and Royce White.

yeah, but are they legit shook?

Another possible landing spot for Jeremy Lin is Detroit, source says. Rockets would acquire Jose Calderon in sign-and-trade in such a deal.


nooooooooo dont do it morey

Howard Beck ‏@HowardBeckNYT 5m
Knicks and Raptors both still motivated to do the deal, but it will have to be tweaked once the 2013-14 salaries kick in on July 1.

Howard Beck ‏@HowardBeckNYT 4m
Unclear at the moment why the deal did not get NBA approval. Still expect a Bargnani-to-NY trade in some form during moratorium.

------------

whoa looks like the bargnani deal got basketball reasoned

thank you based stern?

 

[Branduil]

I'm just congratulating Rockets-age on their successful wooing of Dwight Howard. They obviously wouldn't be openly shopping two players they signed last year if they didn't already have a commitment from him.

 

[Colonel Nasty]

Ugh, why would anyone want a former raptor?

 

[Eleuin]

If only Lin's contract wasn't so shitty he could stay with Parsons

Don't basketball reasons us Silver

 

[Flash]

basketball reason: pity

fuck tou david stern

 

[Truphenom]

Maybe if we berate Dolan enough he'll change his mind.


Lol yea there's no chance of that happening.

I'm not saying that trade is great, but don't overvalue Lin anymore. He's good, but not worth the contract and is kinda already injury prone. We played OKC better without him and Parsons has no problems without Lin on the floor.

As for Parsons losing his "friend" ... Howard takes his place.

Calderon makes a lot more sense with Harden and Dwight than Lin did. Great three point shooter replacing a poor one.
