Howard doesn't win championships, even with Kobe or a really deep team. The upgrade for them at PF to someone like Josh Smith would be greater than Asik -> Howard.

Howard took his team to the finals. Something Noah or Rose wasn't able to do.
 
POR is not geting Thompson AND Barnes for LA....wishful thinking....love to be wrong, I like both players, but I do not see that happening...Getting some salary filler (Bogut\Lee), 1 of Barnes\Thompson and perhaps a 2014 (or later) 1st round pick would be likely...

Third party teams that would be interested in taking on Andrew Bogut's expiring contract?

Asset. Acquisition. I'd probably let Bogut walk and see what young gun we could overpay for.

Isn't Bogut an expiring contract next season? Have to think (if he were able to stay healthy) we'd be able to find a team that would give us something at the deadline to make a playoff/finals push.

He's no longer a franchise-changing C, but (again, if healthy) would be a hellova rental.

That team was hardly "loaded"! LMAO! He was just surrounded by shooters. Chicago had a better team the two years they had WCF throughout

His team was deep. Pietrus, Lee, Gortat on the bench, and 3 guys with 5 assists per game.

So what if they could shoot. That team was FIRST on defense, 6th in least points against. They did more than shoot.

Perhaps part of why the LMA to GS rumors seemingly came back out yesterday? Dwight, Steph, and LMA? Add in that they'd still have Lee or Bogut and Thompson or Barnes.

Was going to bring that up. No doubt GS only chance is if they promise Dwight they'll trade Bogut for LaMarcus.

Hmmm could it be why Howard's camp said Golden State gave them a great offer? Interesting...

I could only imagine how incredible that team would be if they had either Klay or Barnes, Curry, Aldridge and Howard. Pretty unstoppable

Of course, what would GSW have left to offer LA in a S&T? They don't have much, if any, cap space right? If we take some of their talent for LMA, that doesn't leave much to send out in a trade.

Unless they do a three-way deal; sending Aldridge to Los Angles?
 
This Howard situation is really holding everyone else up. I suspect the moment teams know where Howard ends up; will determine what they do.

Trade Hickson for Pachulia. Bigger body and better defender.

Atlanta may need a PF if they don't get Asik in a S/T. If they do Horford would move to PF, but JJ could back both up.

So is Monroe a great prize alone? Hmmm ... I dunno, maybe not, but he's still young and he's got an interesting skill-set, but if you paired him up with an unprotected (likely) lottery pick in what many think will be a very good draft I'd say that's a pretty decent haul for a player you are about to lose any leverage over.

Detroit doesn't own their 2014 pick. They traded it to Charlotte along with Ben Gordon.
 
Doesnt mean anything but still interesting:

Alex Kennedy ‏@AlexKennedyNBA 6m
The Lakers took down the Dwight Howard banner at Staples Center, but sources close to Howard says it's not because he has made a decision.
 
From the highest paid coach to probably the lowest. Not tanking, my ass. You're full of shit, Danny.
 
seems like just yesterday Stevens was turning down Oregon saying he didnt wanna interview. Dang

Yeah, but Stevens is a stud. That could end up being a brilliant hire.
 
If Stevens was going to jump ship then he should have probably done it last year. Celtics isn't that glamorous of a job anymore.
