Rockets trade Asik to Pelicans for a 2015 pick. Now all they need to do is move Lin and they're in dangerous position to land Melo or LeBron. Heck, maybe they could do a sign and trade shipping out Harden to get both of them. I'm not a Harden fan, but I'd trade Anthony for him, no doubt.

Howard / Motiejunas
Anthony / Jones
James

Still dont see LeBron going to the West, he doesnt like challenges so he'll stay in the East.

I've seen the Harden thing mentioned.

Saw they'll only trade Lin if they can get Melo or James.

Still say Bron stays, not sure where Melo goes but Chi is his best fit but not sure he goes there depending if they have to trade Gibson or Butler.

If they can get both of them while trading Harden, you probably do it.
 
Bloom falling off the rose with Harden if there are talks of trading him already.

Phil is certainly making moves.

I think they'd only trade him if they knew they were getting LeBron and Melo in one swoop. In which case I don't think there would be many (any?) players untouchable throughout the league. It would be funny to see Harden dealt after hearing so much talk about how he is trying to recruit guys to Houston. Personally, I've soured on him...tremendously efficient and effective offensive player who has become almost equally poor defensively.

There was a reason why Presti and the organization was willing to trade him. It was easy to cover up his weaknesses with a top 2-3 rim protector in the league but take away that guy and he will be a disaster.
 
I think the Pelicans just got much better. Now Anthony Davis can stick to playing an Ibaka defensive role and be a primary help defender. IF they get lucky with health they could be a playoff team for sure.

Orlando has agreed to send Arron Afflalo to Denver for Evan Fournier and 56th pick in 2014 Draft, league sources tell Yahoo Sports.

Foolish leap, they would only trade him if LeBron agrees to come there....other than that, he's not being traded.

They are trying to clear cap space for htis year and hope to get two max guys. They are have nice young talent plus the 4/12 picks this year.

Lebron
Melo/Love
Harris
Vukevic
Oladipo
2014 #4 pick (Lets say Exum)
2014 #12 pick (Lets say Harris)
Nickolson
Harkless
Fournier

That team is absolutely a top 2-3 team in the East. No quesiton about it.
 
Also, Fournier is arguably a better player than what Affalo was two years into their career. This could have been a brilliant move by Hennigan honestly.

I don't know why they wouldn't sign there. Easy path to the ECF and if they hit with one of their picks this year (or even both) then that team is LOADED for the future.

If Lebron/Melo were smart they would sign there.
 
Seriously? Fournier isn't even on OKC and you're doing this.....

In what world is Fournier = to Afflao? Don't pull the 2 years into their career crap, Affalo is what he is now, he isn't in his second year. There was talks of Affalo being the key pieces to several huge trade and now he's traded for Evan Fournier? nahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
 
I have only seen limited action of Fornier (4 games against OKC each of the last 2 years) but I loved what I saw. He is long and he can shoot. Thats exactly what you want out your shooting guard. His per 36 min numbers are excellent and he will gradually improve over time. He is a very good player and has the chance to be a top 10 SG next year with extended minutes.
