:dwillhuh: How can they trade next years first when they traded this one?

Good deal for the Pelicans outside of Asik getting $15M
@sam_amick: Regarding New Orleans giving up firsts in two consecutive years, I'm told this deal will happen officially in July. By then, that's legal.

Morey been winning in the Offseason, Every Year ... yet Houston hasn't been able to get out of the 1st round yet.

If he doesn't get Lebron, they won't make it out of the 1st round next year either ... Even if they get Melo
Yeah morey isn't great but hes good. And they did in 09

"There's no way Rockets can get rid of McGrady's albatross contract"

"There's no way Morey can dump Thomas Robinson"

"There's no way Morey can dump Asik or Lin"


:mjlol::mjlol::mjlol::mjlol:

i don't understand why they would give up a pick for a guy they're gonna have to overpay to keep

he's an expiring

whats the protection on the pick?

if my* rockets trade harden :blessed:


:russ::usure::camby:



Everyone's focused on the big fish but low key I'd be cool with signing Lowry and maybe trading for Milsap or Ilyasova. We'll see though :win:

@sam_amick: Rockets deal likely happens after July moratorium (10th) because NO will likely use players w/ nonguaranteed $ to match Asik's $8.3 million

1-20 protected.

Stupid trade by the Pelicans. They can easily find a player that can provide the same impact (or close to it) for a fraction of the price.

lol at Harden tho.

when does the protection run out? do you have a link to the details?

what centers can give that impact at a fraction of the price?

'The draft pick included in the deal has protections. It will go to the Rockets if it falls into a range between the late lottery and the 20th pick, sources said."

that protection makes no sense
