I'd say for sure that's because Houston is looking at Denver's pick in a trade.

Of course, it hasn't been mentioned much around here, but I think there's actually a possibility of us making a deal with Denver as well. Depending on who's still available, they could take interest in a Young, Olynyk, 16 and 33 (Or MIN/DAL pick) for #7. I think they'd be interested in IT, I just don't think Ainge would trade him just yet.

hopefully this is a pre-cursor to a Demarcus trade.

first-- Lawson, 7 for AB, Turner, 16, 28, 33

then-- Lawson, KO, Young, 7, and two future BKL firsts for Cousins

Maybe a trade involving Ty Lawson. Say Motiejunas + #18 for Ty Lawson.

that actually makes sense for both teams.

Houston isn't an ideal trading partner due to their lack of assets and salaries to trade. They're just like the Clips: so top-heavy that they have very few middling contracts to use in trades. It's the same reason we could never get a Houston Rondo trade last year.

And if that's all it takes to get Ty Lawson then why aren't we jumping at that?
