So with Smoove gone I think we save some $$ for mid season moves. I think we'll be able to offer KJ a little more now. Even though he didn't play I have to think DM really likes him.

If we get Lawson, I am going to really like the energy off the bench with Bev, Jones/DMO, & Brewer. I think that 2nd unit will be able really get hot at times.

The word on KJ is that they are offering him the full MLE which is a little over 5 mill. - I think he is still testing the market though before he makes a decision. I wouldn't mind picking up Lawson because I don't think you would have to give up too much and he has a pretty favorable contract.

Full MLE for KJ? That sounds like too much for a guy who's played so little.

Lawson is making 12.4 M & 13.2 M the next 2 years. In the current NBA market, it is a steal.

I goofed that up. Meant to say that is the most they could offer is the full MLE which is 5+. Last I heard he had a qualifying offer on the table from the Rockets for much less at 1 year between 1-1.5 mill.

^ That was before any of the news about Josh Smith

@Sam_Vecenie: Montrezl Harrell just out rebounded Steve Zack like 4 times in a row on the O glass, then just screamed at him to go to work. He's the best

This is why I love Harrell.

I think Harrell has pretty much exclusively played C during the summer league.

Sports 790 this morning wasn't an old show, it was a "flashback" that was actually live. They pretended it was July 17, 2006.

Despite a second DUI arrest in the last six months, embattled Denver Nuggets guard Ty Lawson is generating interest on the trade market, NBA sources told SI.com. Houston, Detroit and the L.A. Lakers are among the teams that have expressed interest in Lawson recently, and there remains a strong possibility the Nuggets could unload Lawson before training camp.

One of these teams is not like the others

I keep telling people, you gotta stop putting so much emphasis on his size because he absolutely makes up for it. He's going to be good.

Detroit is paying Reggie Jackson too much money and yet they're interested in Ty Lawson? I don't buy it.

It will be interesting to see how much Lawson's ankle monitor slows him down and if he is allowed to leave the state.

Nick Johnson had good summer league highlights last year too.

Harrell is a project at PF for our scheme because he isn't a shooter, but is a pretty good fit at C. The problem is that C is pretty crowded. So if we are able to land a PG via trade, and there seem to be several out there, Harrell seems like a logical piece to move.

Terrence Jones is probably the best summer league player we have ever had.

Harden just showed up on stage at the Nicki Minaj concert (during Meek Mill's set).

@WojYahooNBA: Sources: As part of deal for Ty Lawson, Houston will send Kostas, Pablo Prigioni, Joey Dorsey, Nick Johnson and a protected first to Denver.

TRADE RAPE

The problem with Bledsoe and Lawson is that they are paid so much more than most of the Rockets trade chips like KPap and TJones. You'd almost have to put Ariza in the trade, just to get the salaries close.

To not touch the main players (Bev, Harden, Ariza, DMo, DHo), you'd have to include KPapa, Jones, Capela, Dorsey and Johnson to make salaries match with Lawson. I think you'd need a little more for Bledsoe.

Silver should reject this trade for basketball reasons. Or just revoke the Nuggets franchise or move it to Seattle. I mean wow....Morey pantsed lil Kroenke. Someone wake up Stan or tell him to stop playing with his toy model LA Rams stadium and pay some attention to the Nuggets and tell him his little boy is destroying things. Nice job, Rockets.

Can't believe we gave up nobody of significance for a starting PG.

Denver didn't have much of a bargaining chip guys. Lawson is coming off TWO DUIs in 6 months and have two quality starting pgs on their roster. I'm obviously stoked about getting Lawson but it's not like Denver had much of a choice after the second dui

They could have held on to him and let him gain value back and at least gotten more than lower end bench players.

This might end being as bad as the Harden trade if Lawson keeps up the 16-9 avg.

His value wasn't going to get better on the bench. Denver wanted to wash their hands of him, the dui a few days ago sealed their fate of getting a zero return. Now I'd love to see the Nick Johnson fan boys on clutch fans right now

Not on the bench, but they play him for 2 month and he keeps stays sober while avg 16-9 he'd get more.

Don't hate on Johnson. I liked him a lot of think he could end up being a solid player. However he'll never be a 15-8 kind of guy.
