Trade Rumor(s)

[Jordan]

This is what myself, @Randolphkeys, and a few others have been reporting/stating. Pelicans did not want to move Anderson unless they got a home run deal.

There was a lineup that played at the end of the 1st and the first half of the 2nd that had Kyrie, Shump, Tristan, JR, and James Jones....

James Jones played like 10 straight minutes. I mean there has to be someone out there for the min who can contribute for us there. Josh Smith is making less than James Jones. As much as everyone wants to say he's a bad fit he's exactly the kind of player we need in that lineup.

He's not a great shooter but he's a playmaker. We need a playmaker coming off the bench. A guy who's going to force the defense to have to guard him and make some plays on offense. Our bench is lacking a playmaker badly.

I heard Alonzo Gee on the Pelicans is available, he seems like a 3 and D, lots of hustle type player, guard 1-4 no worries kinda guy.

Umm, not what article says

It's says teams aren't offering much because he's a free agent at season end

They are hoping a bidding war starts closer to deadline and they can get building pieces for future.

To me it sounds like they're waiting for someone to get desperate

This just in. Mozgov has played really well the last couple games. That's the guy we had last year.

Josh Smith was flat out cut by Detroit and they took the cap hit anyways.

Houston has his buddy Dwight and they let him walk after 1/2 a season.

LA wants to dump him after 1/2 a season. (Plus LBJ's buddy CP3 can give him the inside scoop).

I think we have seen enough red flags to put Josh Smith in the "we can do better" pile.

It's almost like he was recovering from knee surgery, and just needed time to get back on the horse.

And get his timing and confidence back. Like Kyrie in that respect. Except he's got a lot more MASS to that body to get back in sync.

Houston has his buddy Dwight and they got rid of him after 1/2 a season.

Though apparently they don't dislike him that much....

 

[TFIR]

They didn't - Josh's contract was up and he walked...to the Clippers.

This guys is a hoot. So he gets to Houston where he plays with his best buddy and is an important part of the rotation on a contender.

Then after the season he goes to the Clippers. Where he is fazed out of the rotation.

Decides (you can bet his agent worked this) he wants to go back to Houston...duh...where he never should have left.
