NBA rumors and hearsay

[Pugz]

Yea, might be able to get a Greg Monroe type to be that face. 

nope, he went to milwaukee over la. maybe a david lee this offseason

 

[Iceman]

Durant should come to the Suns because it is such a well run organization!! ;p

 

[Pugz]

celtics have reached out to houston about dwight

 

[elcheato]

I am hearing that they have offered two ballboys and the nacho vendor. 

 

[CameronCrazy06]

Key assets.

 

[bosoxlover12]

If we could manage to hold on to the BKN pick and Crowder, I'd be estatic

 

[jonathanlambert33]

For Dwight? I don't think there is any reason to include any of those two.

 

[bosoxlover12]

I mean, those are our best two assets. If teams could fleece Boston for what they wanted, these two assets are the top.
 
 
But for a 30 year old FA next season, who currently plays for a team that isn't competing, I'd have to imagine his value is relatively low. They'll try to move him, for sure, but who knows if Boston is the landing place.
 
Personally, if we could do this deal, I think it would be good for both parties (or as good as you can probably get if you're Houston)
 
Celtics receive: C Dwight Howard
Rockets receive: PF Jared Sullinger, David Lee's Contract, PG Terry Rozier (2015 1st round pick), 2016 DAL 1st, 2016 MIN 1st (essentially two 2nds), 2016 PHI 2nd, 2017 BOS 2nd
 
Maybe throw in the 2016 BOS 1st instead of the 2017 2nd if I wasn't appropriating enough value

honestly feel if the celtics keep crowder, smart, bradley they gotta give up the nets pick

But if the celtics keep the pick, they gotta include one of those guys. Houston could always make it bigger and add lawson, ariza, brewer

 

[CameronCrazy06]

How is the 2016 MIN first essentially a second?

 

[elcheato]

I imagine it has a ton of protections on it, and eventually it will turn into two seconds, is what he means. 

 

[bosoxlover12]

It's top 12 protected and becomes a 2016 and 2017 2nd because the current 2nd worst team in the West isn't going to be outside the worst 12 by seasons end

I mean technically we don't. Houston might not have any other options due to a $22M salary that only few teams can afford without giving up stars (which they won't do), and are willing to move assets for a 30 year old who will 100% a UFA this summer


Like what other option does Houston have? Seriously

 

[elcheato]

I was right about something!

 

[Pugz]

i think they deal bosox posted is actually extremely plausible

They could keep him

 

[bosoxlover12]

They could keep him

If he wanted to stay, which i doubt

 

[Mexi]

I doubt they trade him

Our biggest trade will be pj tucker

 

[bosoxlover12]

Apparently Dwight to BOS talks are over, for now.
 
 
Houston's offer in exchange for Howard was to include two of the three: Jae Crowder, Marcus Smart, 2016 BKN 1st
 
... and Ainge ended things after that fairly quickly lmao
