Around the League: Week 2 10/22-10/28

[Democritus]

Rockets are going " in full crazy mode with four draft picks" after Butler. Come on James, grab us a real PG and ease our pain a little bit.

[ShelC]

They had a good thing last year and really screwed it up. Morey always gets stars in his eyes with big name players but losing Ariza and Mbah Moute hurt them more than getting Melo (and possibly Butler) will help.

The other thing is MikeD has to coach these guys. He's not great with superstars with egos. Paul is a PG who gets it, Harden is low maintenance. Now he'll have Melo, who's already sulking, coming off the bench and Jimmy "I think I'm Kobe" Butler. Minny better send a bag of basketballs in the deal because Houston won't have enough for all those guys.

[Indy]

I am not sure why people think we can trade up with Jackson without including other assets (not drawbacks like Tyson, Anderson, etc.) and get back a significant piece we need.

Mee-Loosh...

[JeremyG]

Well at least we have a better record than Houston and OKC.

I think we found our point guard

[carey]

He's a little long in the tooth, but sure! Can't be any worse.

Jason Kidd is available

Jason Kidd is available

Heck, Johnny High could contribute as much as Canaan or Crawford.

[Flagrant Fowl]

The Cavs should've fired Lue the day after LeBron signed with the Lakers.

[Mori Chu]

We were going to sign Jason Kidd out of retirement, and also trade with the Cavs to acquire Channing Frye. But then we worried that Kidd would just end up throwing a Frye at somebody...
