    We give up our max salary cap room for this coming off-season for Shawn Marion? Honestly, i'd rather have Patrick Patterson. Marion at PF would give us spacing problems on offense. He's also turning 35 in a couple of months.

    Anyway, i would still say no for the simple reason that we sacrifice our max salary cap room going into the off-season.

    The cap space we possess is better than gold right now. No way we do anything to hamper that.

    Save cap space for summer, use current cap space to acquire a 1st round pick and an expiring (Hamilton). A second round pick we can just buy, no need to trade for one.

    Or get a Sammy Dalembert rental for a playoff push.

    either one of those moves would make me very happy

    Lin/Asik/Parsons/D'Money/Jones untouchable except in a trade for a max player

    I think your looking into the Matrix's stats a bit too closely, yeah hes having a great year but there is just no way Morey gives up that salary cap flexability for a aging EX all star.

    I wonder how keen Dalembert would be to come back to the H? I mean last year he wanted to be here, and no doubt would have extended if given the chance. But after getting traded for scraps I doubt he would want to play here if he isn't part of the long term plans?

    I agree. Usually there is a lot of chatter and rumours going around this time of year.

    Detroit trades: Jose Calderon, 2013 Pistons 2nd round pick

    Houston trades: Toney Douglas, Cole Aldrich

    Detroit saves roughly $7.5M this year and I believe both Douglas and Aldrich are expiring contracts so it doesn't hurt Detroit's cap room this offseason. Houston gets a veteran PG to play behind Lin this year and picks up an early 2nd round pick.

    I'd add Jeremy Lin for a top 12 pick on top of that.

    I like Asik's D and contract more. Harden, Aldridge, Parsons and Lin is enough offense

    If we help facilitate a Josh Smith trade, is there a possibility we get our 1st round pick back (from ATL)?

    I doubt it. Atlanta seems to be hoarding picks. We'd have to give something up real good to get that pick, and unless we're getting a big name I don't see Morey giving up something real good.

    I know Minny is looking to wheel and deal.

    @WojYahooNBA
    Minnesota has been aggressive in offering multiple first-round picks for established talent, league sources tell Y!

    Maybe the Rockets could get in on that.

    I expect at least one of Patterson, Morris, or White to be gone.

    They'd trade White for a pack of gum if anyone would let us dump him on them.

    White can easily be traded to Minny for a pick...passing big man who can run Rick's offense.
