Are the knicks smart enough to trade him? Does James Dolan have more sense than Jim Buss?

Lin, Asik, and a pick for Rondo is apparently being discussed.

An interesting wager, but I’d throw in cash and maybe Caspi to throw Bass in the mix too.

Damn LeBron looked fast against our old Mavs… Though props for keeping it close for such a long time. Even if no gas was left and Monta got shut down quite well, they really tried hard.

Is caspi an expiring contract? That trade scenerio would be awesome for Houston on multiple levels, and could almost work for Boston, but they’d need something else to sweeten the pot. Maybe get another team involved to get another pick mixed in there.

LeBron James All-Star Interview

Wolves are not trading Love and Love has said he does not want to be in LA right now because their team is ass.

I just found out that there’s a WTF button, perfect for Detroit and the Bobcats facing each other again today after they faced each other yesterday.

It’d be hard to make that work with another team, as the good players are already going to destinations that the organizations want (Rondo and Bass for Lin and Asik, but the cash and Caspi’s expiring contract should be enough to sweeten the deal).

The cash would soften the blow of Lin and Asik’s poison pill contracts and Caspi’s expiring contract would free up more space on the books for all those first round draft picks Boston’s looking to score.

Giving Lin, Asik, AND a pick is asking too much for Rondo, though apparently Lin for Rondo straight up is now an option and a pick and Asik (and maybe Caspi) for Hawes is being discussed as well. I like both of those deals better, but I’m not opposed to any of those scenarios, so long as we get a good 4/5 who can reliably hit the mid-range or 3 to space the floor and a point guard who can create for others.

Rockets dodge a bullet for tonight the Blake Mamba is supposedly getting traded to Golden State.

@WojYahooNBA: Golden State expected to send Kent Bazemore and MarShon Brooks to the Lakers for Blake, league source tells Yahoo Sports.

*I wouldn’t do it. You don’t trade a dollar for 4 quarters. *

Steve Blake for Bazemore and Brooks

Sacre + Bazemore = ultimate bench dance party

Now we got Kobe Jr.

18 more years baybeee

Yeah, MarShon will relish watching Kobe in practice. It will be like Taskmaster copying people’s movements.

I like the trade for the Dubs. Basically gave up Bazemore and Toney Douglas for Blake and Jordan Crawford.

Kobe sad Steve Blake is gone. Said that was the guy he was closest to lol.

Looks like Pau’s surviving yet another Deadline. Can’t wait for the Draft to start his rumor mill back up.

Rondo is hardly Lin and Bass is hardly Asik. Boston doesn’t really have a good defensive big and Asik takes care of that. They get another outside scorer in Lin and both guys are in the last years of their contracts. Both guys can bounce, but they can also be trade pieces. Asik, if he’s the starter, is a quality center in a league that’s seeing fewer of them every year. In a conference where Indy and Miami rule, you need at least 1 good big to play defense. Both guys are young and can grow with whatever draft prospects Boston picks up if Boston decides to keep them on.

Rondo helps the Rockets run an offense and can play perimeter D on the CP3’s, Westbrooks, and Parkers we’re sure to face in the post season. Bass can spread the floor for Dwight and can play off the bench or as a starter.

I don’t see it being a trade in names only, there’s plenty that helps both teams.

Trade ain’t happening Boston wants Parsons to fuck that.
