    This is the player most people have the Hawks drafting

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?nomobile=1&v=Oaw0_zw9LGs

    I don't have a problem with it he's gonna stay overseas for a year or two and be ready to go once he touches down

    Too bad the Rockets are about to trade up and snatch him up.

    Yes sir. I'd rather have Lucas Nogueira but I don't think we'll be high enough. You saw all that ? they talked about we weren't getting anything for t-rob, now stein said we have a 1st rd pick on lock for him

    Already. I wonder who the other team is. I guess we'll find out. You sold on Howard coming here yet?

    Too many overpaid players on my squad so im not expecting any big moves even though we need one. I hear Rudy stay in the clubs smh
    Guess we ain't getting rid of Andrea anytime soon. We were tryna trade him early July. I have no clue what direction we're going this season unless we trade for a top pick in next years draft. Anxious to see Valanciunas, I think Colangelo was pulling the coaching decisions last year instead of Casey. We shall see

    I think 2 teams can win or lose a ring this offseason: Miami and OKC

    OKC needs to get rid of perk, put ibaka at center, and get a low post scorer at PF.

    I want Perk gone just 'cause I don't like'em, not necessarily so we can "win a championship".

    People forget that before Westbrook's injury we were the #1 seed and a top 5 defensive unit.

    My main concern is Kevin Martin and that 6th man spot. Is the Wal-Mart poster boy ready to cook? Is Perry ready?

    Word on the street is that Lamb could've took Martin's 6th spot if it wasn't for Scottie's personal relationship with Martin (they have a history from the Kings days.)

    And judging by his D-League play, he just might be ready...

    If he can be more efficient with better shot selection, then it's a wrap.

    No, and I think all that Houston Rockets talk(even though I believe he does wanna come here) was him and his agent trynna get D'antoni fired. The more time goes on the more he'll get over his anger but the biggest thing is he needs/wants to win now. LA is AT LEAST one year away from doing anything as far as I'm concerned and he would be better here because he'd be the only diva. What I do think is that Houston and LA are the only teams who really have a chance. Dallas makes no sense and he doesn't wanna go to ATL

    I feel you. It seems like the Rockets core players(Harden, Parsons) stay in constant contact with Howard. It does make the most sense for him to come and play in Houston but I think he's just using the Rockets as leverage. If he comes cool but if not I won't be disappointed.

    Howard will go where the biggest "media splash" will be made. So that basically means -- wherever Chris Paul goes or stay with the Lakers.

    He's addicted to that limelight and he'd rather see his face on TV for losing than be an underrated winner. Chris Paul ain't going to houston, so that cancels them out imo, and Howard's whole demeanor about playing at home in ATL has changed since Paul told him that he likes ATL (again, he's a follower).


    I think Howard either lands in Dallas or ATL with Paul, or stays in L.A.

    Don't underestimate Cuban. Dirk will take a pay cut, they're going to get rid of their draft pick just so they can have more money (they might "sell" the pick too) and they have the cap space.

    And out of all the teams courting Paul and Howard, they're the only ones that can say that they've won a championship in the last 3 years and has a coach that's beaten Miami in the finals.

    If Amir gets traded, don't be surprised. We better get high value back for him though..

    ? we don't get that many buckets on the block now from ?

    Gibson can give us 10 points a game with more minutes if ? is traded

    Noah gives us about 10 a game from the block

    D. Rose will get the other points in the lane if that Pipe Dream trade was to go down

    I thought Jonas Valanciunas and Amir Johnson played really well last year. Toronto I think will be fighting for a playoff spot next year barring injuries.

    I feel bad for Valanciunas though because he has so many gunners on his squad that he might never get the ball on an actual ran play for him. LOL. I watched a decent amount of Toronto games because I wanted to see how he would do out there. The kid is a solid player that could turn out to be very good.

    If we do make any trades this offseason, I hope they don't include Perry Jones unless it brings a All-star caliber big.

    Given our team needs, he's less expendable than Wal-Mart. Showed some flashes so far.

    I hope Greg Oden goes to the Spurs or Cavs for a decent price. I think the dude might have a chance to at the very least be a solid role player if he can stay healthy. I wouldn't be surprised if he did go to Miami though. SMH. So many followers in the NBA these days.

    I would also like to see Tyreke Evans or O.J. Mayo play for the Spurs. I know Evans is a restricted free agent and will most likely get overpaid by Sacramento but I think if he was to go to a team with a good coach and teammates he would be a star.

    O.J. might come to the Spurs and come off the bench because he was wiling to play off the bench in Memphis and Dallas. I know he didn't care to much for it in Memphis but he didn't complain about it in Dallas and he played well in Dallas until Dirk came back

    I hear Presti got his eye on him.

    I think he can be a solid backup center in the league if he stays upright. A solid 8ppg/5rpg type off the bench.

    It's not even on the low. One of the reason those trade rumors was out there before he got hurt was the fact that Doc was getting tired of Rondo's BS. Not to mention he was a big reason why Ray Allen left. That would have been a nice trade if Boston could've pulled off the DeMarcus Cousins for Rondo ?
