Here's a possible scenario for the Houston facilitated PG trade: Lakers IN: PG and Jefferson (or Ellis) Nets IN: Russell and Mozgov Rockets IN:...
Fair enough. I still feel the better move was to play this slowly and spend the entire off-season trying to unload Russell for a better return,...
Let me clarify. My major complaint about the Russell trade is the timing, especially when it amounts to mostly a salary dump when we don't need to...
My faith in them has been rattled with all that has happened in the last 24 hours. I'm not ready to call for their firing just after one bad...
I read somewhere that the Nets were about to send Lopez to the Hawks for Howard (I have no idea about picks and filler for such a trade) before...
Who would have ever predicted that we would have the Kings to thank for preventing Magic and Rob from making a potentially disastrous series of...
So the Lakers want to trade the #2 pick (to get the #10 pick), Randle, and indirectly Russell (to get the #27 pick) so we can get PG a year early?...
It better be Clarkson and not Randle. The Pacers are trapped in a corner, so to give them Randle under these circumstances will greatly upset me...
If future trades are similar to dumping Russell for little value, then I wouldn't be surprised if the Lakers end up sending out more young talent....
Magic and Rob needed to be more patient. Unless they make a related secondary trade today, there was absolutely no reason to dump Russell right...
Terrible trade, I don't understand the logic behind dumping Russell for no valuable assets. Lopez is not a good return even considering how the...
The Lakers need to make it clear that all assets (such as Russell, #2, Ingram, etc) outside of Clarkson, Black, and the #28 are not on the table...
If Bird still has a fair amount of influence with the front office of the Pacers, then I don't believe they would trade PG to the Lakers for...
That's definitely better than Russell/#28 for PG, but I feel there has to be another way to dump Mozgov or Deng that doesn't require trading away...
I'll be surprised if the Lakers include Russell in a trade for PG. I don't doubt for a second that the Pacers are pushing for Russell, but I hope...
I heard him say it live on the radio, and it made me change the station in disgust. Ford has absolutely no credibility and his ridiculous proposal...
Perhaps, but I was basing my theory largely on the emotional state of the Pacers front office and on the fact that Bird is still involved...
If the Pacers trade PG by the draft, it will probably be to the Cavs in a three-way since they can give them the best return. This could explain...
Under normal circumstances, I agree it would take massive brass ones to make such a gamble. However, don't forget that Bird doesn't want to been...
I think LeBron would rather join the Clippers over the Lakers so he could become their savior the same way he became the savior of the Cavs. Plus,...
