ATLscrubLove Posted July 3, 2013 Report Share Posted July 3, 2013 (edited) http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nba/2013/07/02/josh-smith-houston-rockets-dwight-howard-james-harden/2485043/ There would be serious hurdles to this sort of deal, but the Rockets may be able to get it done if they could convince Smith's former team, the Atlanta Hawks, to take part in a sign-and-trade that would clear the necessary salary cap space to sign both players. So maybe the report from the random Twitter account could be real... Wouldn't mind getting someone like Asik back from the Rockets. Dude is a rebounding machine which is what we've need for years.

Brotha2ThaNite Posted July 3, 2013 Report Share Posted July 3, 2013 (edited) HmmmmOr could this mean Howard would come here? Edited July 3, 2013 by Brotha2ThaNite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATLscrubLove Posted July 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2013 I feel we would take Asik... Not too sure we would want the Linsanity but I think he would be a good fit. There a re a TON of asians in the area. It would be clever marketing... They always show up in multitudes to support players from their race. Should've seen it when the Dodgers were here and Ryu was pitching. It was 50% Asian. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GThawks3 Posted July 3, 2013 Report Share Posted July 3, 2013 No way we take Lin...he sucks as well as his contract and we could easily resign Teague and just drafted Schröder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWF Posted July 3, 2013 Report Share Posted July 3, 2013 (edited) HmmmmOr could this mean Howard would come here? Harden coming? Because that is a big part of why Houston is attractive for Dwight it would seem. Rockets should give us Asik, Jones, and a 1st for Smith in a sign and trade if Howard says no to us.

Premium Member Jody23 Posted July 3, 2013 Premium Member Report Share Posted July 3, 2013 I think the Hawks should just start to get themselves ready for 2014, both draft and free agency. If Dwight and/or Smoove don't want to be here, let them go to Houston and be done with it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yungsta Posted July 3, 2013 Report Share Posted July 3, 2013 F Lin. Get asik with a pick and we are good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yungsta Posted July 3, 2013 Report Share Posted July 3, 2013 and IF we have to take on Lin I would try to get another pick then flip lin to some poor soul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFuzz Posted July 3, 2013 Report Share Posted July 3, 2013 If we miss out on Howard, we could bring in Asik with Jones (or Motie) and a pick. I'd love to find a way to bring Parsons in, but the chances of that are slim at best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member Diesel Posted July 3, 2013 Premium Member Report Share Posted July 3, 2013 The going price for a Josh SNT FOR HOUSTON is Asik and Chandler. If you must add in a Lin, we'd take him but Asik and Chandler are non-negotiable. Here's the bottom line, we don't have to do anything that Smoove or Houston Wants us to do without getting what we want. If they want Smoove that bad, then they can offer him the MLE and see if he takes it... Otherwise they have to pay the piper. We spent the last 8 years cultivating Smoove. The cost for Houston therefore is ASIK and CHANDLER. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member Diesel Posted July 3, 2013 Premium Member Report Share Posted July 3, 2013 I wish Diesel but no way in hell they give us Chandler. Then they don't get what they want.Good luck to them trying to win with Asik on the bench. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
