    Kemba Walker?!? (Wait: I need more punctuation.) KEMBA WALKER?!?!!? The dude who just hung 60 (albeit in a last-second losing cause?)

    Sheee************y************************t.

    Maybe if Charlotte wants to do that four first rounders thing.

    He is their franchise player. There is no way they would give him up.

    Then would much rather have someone like Tyus Jones or JJ barea whos just as pesty on defense. But he’s old tho.

    Tyus Jones would be great, but is he available? Morey has wanted him for a long time with no luck.

    That's the last player Charlotte would trade, why do you think that would be an option? Also he would be very mad about that, guy is trying to get max, not be a bench player, but the fit is bad with both Harden and Paul anyways, it's an odd roster. It would be a dumb decision by Houston to send assets that can supposedly get back Walker out for him, instead of for a similar level player at SF for example.

    I don't believe those assets are there anyways, but just saying.

    He is but attached to Dieng. We could probably get Tyus with Dieng if we gave them Knight and.....one of our young bigs not named Chriss. And we may be able to get him for a little less than that.
    Morey also looking at Knight and possibly others including Nene along with one pick to Sacramento and taking back expiring contracts (Shump/Kostas/McLemote/Mason). Once again possibly on or before Dec. 7. Can't believe cyberx hasn't started a thread yet about Morey trying to move Knight now.
    Tyus should be starting in Minnesota. He's a basketball genius. IQ off the charts. Either him or Frank Mason make a lot of sense here as Paul's understudy.

    Is this young big Clint Capela? If yes, then it's not worth it in my opinion. He is an important role player. Dieng and Hartenstein can't replace him.

    Of course he was talking about trading Capela , that's the only big on the Rockets roster with enough salary to bring Dieng's horrible contract back with some filler ….


    Really anytime he starts that conversation , we should completely ignore it - just don't respond to the silly **** , it really doesn't deserve a response … eventually he'll get the picture (or not?)

    Zhou Qi is better than Capela ?! Thong Maker ?!….Capela sucks ? Just ignore it.

    Anyone think we could pry George Hill off of Cleveland for Knight, Chriss, and a pick or even just straight up to save them some money?

    Last year he shot 43% when he was getting minutes. It appeared he was starting to put it all together. He shot 38% in 4 years of college.

    This year he is only getting garbage time, and has only attempted 4 threes total.

    It might be worth a chance to try and acquire him. I like his passing, defense and his ability to finish at the rim.

    I don't think so. That would be a great acquisition though. CP3 would be fresh going forward.

    He might be obtainable, but I think he is a bit old now.

    He could be talking about Hartenstein or Qi. I still wouldn’t do it since Dieng’s contract is so nasty fwiw

    Possibly at the deadline. Might not be a direct deal though.
