Scola is probably going to get amnestied within the next 48 hours.

If Scola gets amnestied that entire roster minus Kevin Martin costs less than Joe Johnson.

 

[thekad]

Amnesty Scola
Trade away KMart
Give away all picks and young talent
Take one year rental of injured player
Take on three bad contracts
Become Orlando West

Morey thinks he's Brad Pitt when he's really Jonah Hill.

[squicken]

Seems he has to take back 3 of Orlando's bad contracts. I'm sure he'd like to trade Scola but he's kind of a bad contract himself

Heat get ray ray, we chill. Lakers age get Nash, SHOPS ALL DAY. Jesus christ.

Heat was already good to go even without ray.

 

[Red Blaster]

Really liked Scola, shame he pretty much sucks ass now

 

[etiolate]

I can't wait for next year when the Lakers trade for Paul Pierce.

 

[Darkman M]

Well one guy is still elite at his position, and can change the whole scope of the offense.

 

[Kogepan]

So when this deal falls through, does Scola even show up to training camp? Constantly getting shit on.

Rockets current roster is absolutely crazy. At least Kahn was able to get Kevin Love and Rubio with all his wackiness.....theres nobody on that list that is even starting level...

Andrew can get you 20/10 a night and will sign the extension....

So who's going to win the Brendan Haywood sweepstakes?

Love and Rubio are second round fodder at best. Better than HOU but the idea is that Dwight has to stay b/c it's the only place he'll get paid. He'll attract that second star and Morey can build around it.

I agree with thekad on the bad contracts. I have faith in Morey to build a roster, but at some point all those bad contracts they have to take on make that impossible. And he'll be trading all his future picks. Not sure what he would have to work with. Richardson and Hedo is just such a bitter pill to swallow

What's the most you'd take back? I'd be alright with Jrich, Duhon and Howard. And with Motie signed, I'm pretty sure he can't be traded. So as long as we kept him and one of the rooks I'd sleep at night.

 

[Matrix]

I cant believe the Rockets and this whole Dwight situation.

I want a time machine to take me back to 94-95!

Keep Lamb and Motie. Take back no one, but Hedo. Tank is fucked for a year, but next year's draft is looking pretty bad so whatevs.

What we're looking at is getting nothing for Scola, taking on multiyear contracts, and giving away all of our future talent for Morey's job security. So yeah, hopefully it's BS but Feigen is always solid.

 

[Branduil]

I can't believe Indiana gave us Collison for a guy who was going to leave anyway, though. That's actually pretty awesome.

 

[Kogepan]

it makes no sense....taking hedo/jrich/duhon along with howard. Why would Howard resign next year if Houston is capped out with all that crap? Its basically the same situation Orlando is in right now.

 

[Red Blaster]

Still don't get why people think the Magic need to trade Dwight to be rid of Hedo + Dudu when both players are non-guaranteed next year

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

Kahn was gifted Love and Pek and when you get four top 6 picks, you're bound to get one right.

Savior.

We are going to dominate next season. Can't wait.

What do you think about Kaman?

If he does the deal as Feigen outlined then I will join in with the tar and feathers. It'd be the same awful situation that Orlando was in. Even if they keep Martin and his contract expires, their still isn't much wiggle room before re-signing Howard

 

[Bowser]

Looks like Psycho T ain't coming home:

Rick Bonnell @rick_bonnell
I hear an Augustin-to-Indiana sign-and-trade is unlikely. More to come.

 

[Nelo Ice]

So Houston is working on gutting their team and becoming what Orlando currently is. A franchise with bad contracts and a Center who wants out. Only the Wizard can make sense of all this.

 

[benjipwns]

They wouldn't be capped out. Both Hedo and Duhon can get half their contracts cut off the books, Richardson only makes $6 million. All the Rockets forwards left would be cheap.

No shit. This isn't tanking, like Kad said we become Orlando West.

He only would stay cause we can give him the most money (can he really walk away from that and no state income tax), but he doesn't even want to play for us.

 

[darkside31337]

Still don't get why people think the Magic need to trade Dwight to be rid of Hedo + Dudu when both players are non-guaranteed next year

Is Hedo actually fully non-guaranteed? Isn't it partially? Honestly have read both and have no idea whats actually true.

Magic should be looking to be dumping Big Baby and/or J-Rich either way.

 

[Kogepan]

At least u got Asik!

 

[Mxrz]

J-Rich seems to be the main moving piece.

Not sure how great i feel about helping the Rockets get Bynum. Not after that bit about his Agent saying no teams have asked them about signing after a trade. It should still be a step up from the Nets jerking off Lopez, at least.

 

[SamuraiX-]

So the 76ers...
PG - Jrue Holiday
SG - Nick Young / Evan Turner
SF - Andre Iguodala / Dorell Wright / Moe Harkless
PF - Thaddeus Young / Arnett Moultrie
C - Spencer Hawes / Nikola Vucevic / Darryl Watkins

11-man roster, ~$10M under luxury tax threshold.

They need to look at picking up Ramon Sessions or maybe Aaron Brooks or something. Jrue ain't gonna cut it.

 

[commish]

What do you think about Kaman?

He's useful. Will not solve problems but is an upgrade.

 

[Black Mamba]

Hedo has $6million guaranteed the final year.

Also, Houston should be using this to get Bynum who won't leave. Not sure the Howard stays in Orlando West.

 

[Matrix]

At least u got Asik!

lol Bulls are gonna match

 

[benjipwns]

Team can reduce Hedo's last year to $6 million, Duhon's to $1.5 million.

 

[Branduil]

Who the hell is Ian Mahinmi?

He made one of the most clutch end-of-quarter shots in Mavs history.

Enjoy.

 

[diehard]

We are going to dominate next season. Can't wait.

i can't wait for G-TIME to crush your hopes and dreams

 

[Branduil]

What do you think about Kaman?

Low-risk move. He can't be worse than Haywood and has the potential to be much better.

 

[Nelo Ice]

Hedo has $6million guaranteed the final year.

Also, Houston should be using this to get Bynum who won't leave. Not sure the Howard stays in Orlando West.

It's actually incredible how much a potential Orlando-LA-Houston 3 way makes sense for every team involved. If the Wizard and Hennigan have any brains they should go for that or Hennigan should go for Bynum. Since he's either going for a straight blow up and tank+random picks or he can get the proven all star in Bynum.

 

[Kogepan]

They wouldn't be capped out. Both Hedo and Duhon can get half their contracts cut off the books, Richardson only makes $6 million. All the Rockets forwards left would be cheap.

You sure? Hoopshype shows Hedo as a PLAYER option. Pretty sure he's not opt out.

http://hoopshype.com/salaries/orlando.htm

And Houston would need to amnesty Scola already to make the deal.

 

[JoeFu]

Best offensive center in Mavericks history and he hasn't even played one game yet!

 

[thekad]

If the Mavericks get Brand, they might actually be better than last year.

Except Bynumbskull is trash and the whole thing sucks for every team involved except the Lakers who get another dynasty
