if i see the words "trade", "couturier", and "bouwmeester" come up on the screen at the same time tomorrow im just turning the tv off and going to sleep. the details would be irrelevant

so the sixers get the #1 and #6 picks next year..not bad
- vejim

If they ended up with # 1, # 6 and Noel I agree it's a good trade.

I think New Orleans pick will be in the 10-13 range. Holiday makes them much better. A starting 5 of Lopez, Davis, Anderson, Gordon, and Holiday is competitive.

Time will tell. I don't really like the NBA, but I follow it closely enough to know what's going on. My initial reaction to the trade was it wasn't great.

Not saying he is, but if they want Coburn as bad as reported you got to ask for more then he is worth and use your position of strength.....hell i would ask about all their young fowards hall rnh etc.....not gonna happen but i would definitely ask....Coburn to EDM is all about getting the number 7 pick
- nonpoint22

and then Homer takes number #7 and trades it for #5 with Carolina

this I could actually see happening as there is likely a player @ #5 that they covet

so the sixers are skunked?

they get no compensation?

New orelans will not be picking in the top 5 next year

the sixers will be the Miami heat of the east in a few years

It just pushed back to the next year, unless its top 5 again. Just keeps kickin the can down the road.

I dont think New Orleans is going to be bad enough to get a lottery since the West is weaker.

please no

If Wiggins was a certainty I would agree. What if they don't get Wiggins? They traded their best player, who is 23 for a project big man with an injury.
- PLindbergh31

Were they going to win with holiday? No. I hate basketball and I could see that team was getting no where... Either way good move. I heard on the radio that Noel was the consensus 1 overall pick before he got hurt... Sometimes u have to take a risk

Pietrangelo looking for over $7M+ per year (rumored).

Good for him. I think Shattenkirk left the blues off the hook with his contract.

no way would they trade Couts for Bouw

but maybe some kind of package for one of their 23 yo defenseman and a goalie

huh, what an interesting rule
- Marc D

Not really a rule. you could do it in the nhl too

Good question...are there any crack heads on the panel

The Blues would have to give up a lot to land Couturier. I don't think Homer wants to trade him but if the offer is too good, he will deal him.

you just know Homer is going to do something stupid
- vejim

as fun as it is to talk about how scary that is, no, i really don't just know that homer is gonna do something that dumb. i really really don't think that's going to happen

yea i know, just talking doomsday scenarios

so New Orleans just added the protected part into the deal?

I am so dense, I thought it applied to all the teams some how

duh

I for one would love to see Mez, Grossaman and Coburn dealt this weekend....nothing against those guys as players but we need to get the cap number down on our d corp....were probably not going to contend next year so ship em all out and lets figure it out with youngsters
