What's interesting about this, and I almost saw this coming, is that Houston apparently had a deal on the table they were willing to take, which for some reason is why they put a self imposed deadline ... and now there is no deal.
If I've learned anything from watching Dragon's Den and Shark Tank, is that if you have a good deal, you shouldn't get greedy and hold out for more.Last edited by Joey; Thu Dec 19, 2013, 05:00 PM.

And lee and bass are ok players expiring soon which means we can flip them for something. Even if its second round piks, it's still worth it. But yea nothing quite like having Amir. It would be a tanking move if it happens.

Bass has another year fully guaranteed at roughly the same cost of Amir, and if you believe what's come out in these Asik talks, there's basically no market for Bass.
There's apparently even less of a market for Lee, who has 2 more years after this one.
Neither really do anything good for the team or flexibility. Basically trading Amir for more money for a longer period and a mid-1st rounder. The mid 1st rounder isn't bad, but not if you end up having to take on crap to get it. And mid-1st rounders are still not that enticing. As strong as this draft is, it's still a draft, where it's unlikely to find more than role players when you start getting beyond the lottery (or sooner if this draft doesn't end up being so strong), even if you're picking well.
The only tangible 'benefit' is that last part you mention. Losing Amir means losing a lot more games probably.
