Hou uses cap space to fit salary and other transactions use 125% rule. I accept as I get my future cornerstone piece to pair with LA and Dame who can hold down the fort down low. I give up a ton of assets in this trade, young players and draft picks but I feel that I need a good center to compete and Demarcus is that guy for me. 

[Charles Barkley]

This isn't going to pass, unless my math is wrong, POR will have to cut more than 2 players.

[Brian Scalabrine]

I will cut Earl Watson and Royce white upon approval

[Troy Bolton]

please edit. Casspi is not included.

If Casspi isn't included, it keep POR at only needing to cut two players, which would make it ok rule wise. 

Fairness wise, who knows.

[Brian Scalabrine]

Yeah my bad Troy he's out now

[Coach Hines]

it says that houston receives meyers leonard, but i dont see him under "portland trades"

[Coach Hines]

doesnt really make a difference though

[Brian Scalabrine]

Ok yeah I should fix that sorry just a really complicated trade to put together lol

yeah i definitely understand. i cant imagine how long it took to hash this one out haha

[Pinoy Sakuragi]

Scalabrine work for more than 2 weeks already to make a good trade for Cousins and I believe, I get the best possible trade.

In giving up a present dominant center who has still a bigger future to get 2 young small forwards who can be good partners in the future. I give up a corner stone to get two corner stone. I have high expectation for the growth potential of Batum and Parsons and they fit well to the team that I want.
Then I also got Asik who can easily fill my center position. And I love to see that the contract will expire in 2 years.

[Charles Barkley]

With Casspi out, it is ok for cuts/adds wise, but POR just signed Rivers. Still makes things funky.

I don't know if LMaM can be included yet since the trade with MIN and SAC hasn't processed yet.

[Josh Barber]

Just some notes:

Houston will need to sign 1 player
Portland will need to cut 1 player

[Josh Barber]

My analysis:

I wish Sacramento would just keep DeMarcus Cousins, I have no idea why he is set on trading a 23 year old center who is very dominant.

Houston doesn't get a whole lot back here for Asik/Parsons

Portland is the big winner, just because of the fact that he gets Cousins and doesn't give up that much value


Anyway, I'll accept, I think every deal here is at least decent individually

I love Parsons and Batum more than him sir.. But I recognized his value and skills but I join this game to enjoy it and not to be so serious about winning that I loss my happiness on doing it already..
