Magic Posturing About Keeping Dwight Howard Until Feb. 2013?

Good news for the Rockets. I'm really sick and tired of hearing Orlando Magic making news out of nothing, it seems like they are whoring attention. I think the Rockets will be blessed to keep the rookies and see their numbers better than expected. When you are on the floor in major minutes, your stats will go up unless your D.Rodman, or B.Wallace who doesn't know how to score, or shoot FTs.

'Good deal' is a relative term. For Hennigan it means enough so that the fans and the owner don't think he got taken. But the reality is he will only get what Morey wants to give him. Morey will hardline him till he cracks and then give him a small concession. Then everbody is all smiles.

*this is the way negotiations go in real life too, if you guys are making an offer on a house or something. You lose when you aren't the one willing to walk away.

 

That is the absolute best Morey should offer without seeing him play significant minutes. Morey would be crazy to give up our rookies or take back their crap for an injured player.

 

I'll go, Martin+Morris+ 3 future picks (Dallas Toronto and the Cha 2nd.) + Richardson and Duhon

* better call me while we have unguaranteed contracts or there is just no way under the rules we can get you some cap relief

 

lol @ anyone who thinks Dwight f***ing Howard is only worth Martin + Morris + picks.

The deal will probably look similar to this:

Martin + Lamb + Jones + TOR pick + DAL pick

and we will take back probably 2 bad contracts as well.

 

Rival executs? Who is even interested in trading for Dwight? Morey is Morey is Morey. So they called up Morey and said:

 

I would go Martin, Lamb, Tor pick, and Morris for Howard, JRich, and Turkoglu. I include Turk because I think Morey will need that contract to deal for another player.

 

Martin, Morris and picks for the best center in the NBA? This isn't nba 2k! Orlando's GM isn't r****ded as well. Come on fellas be realistic.

 

Luke Walton, Damion James, Shelden Williams, maxed out Brook Lopez, picks
Andy Varejao, picks

Barely beat it.

 

I´d say Martin, Morris, PPat and 3 1sts should definetly do it, if we also take back bad contracts. They get a great expiring contract, 2 promising young talents, a guaranteed lottery pick and 2 more firsts.

Not only the value of the player determines the price, but also the market. And no other team could get an offer even close as good as ours. Cap relief, talents and picks... you can`t ask for more.

We might have to switch PPat for Jones or White... but I`d say Lamb, DMo and Parsons are untouchables. Build around

Lin
Lamb
Parsons
DMo
Howard

otherwise the gamble and all the drama is not worth it.

 

LMAO... Wow your desperate, and like I said before, in a negotiation, you'd get raped.

 

Why outbid ourselves? You have to barely beat anyone elses offer... He wants out regardless.

 

coachbadlee? you guys have always sounded like the same person.

Anyway, that's a fair deal. Actually, I think that's exactly what Morey wants to give up. But Orlando wants either Parsons/Donuts or both...which isn't obviously happening.

 

This posturing that Orlando is doing does baffle me in the way that I would think that they would want to get this resolved so that they can move on and complete their roster before the season starts. Free agents will soon become very slim and unless you are an organization that is good at evaluating trash heap talent it would be difficult to find decent players.

Then again, maybe they know what we don't know in the fact that Houston is not taking back many of their bad contracts if any in a trade and they don't need to look for talent. Or that they don't care to find talent since they would be in definite rebuild mode once Dwight is gone.

Or is everything in a holding pattern for D-Mo to be tradable? Who knows. This trade scenario is very hard to speculate on. Usually we all have a pretty good idea of what the main pieces are and the basic structure of the deal but this one proves to be slightly difficult to nail down with any certainty.

Let us hope it just gets resolved soon one way or the other so that we can go ahead and make other moves to finalize our roster.

I just read over this post and realized I brought nothing new or original to the table. Oh well we have hundreds of pages of regurgitated Howard crap on here anyway so my little spiel has little affect.

 

First of all, Hell no!

Secondly, NO its not a fair offer. Why in the **** would you outbid yourself?

Just offer slightly better then the next best offer. IMO our guaranteed lottery pick alone get's that done.

 

Orlando will trade D12 soon. No way they wait till the season starts. If D12 is still rehabbing by then and therefore not physically ready to play, their leverage goes down significantly. They are not going to take that chance.

 

i'm intrigued with Rudy Gay..by the way, is he really available?

 

Cmon man. We're talking about the top 2 or 3 player in the league. Martin, Jones, Lamb, picks is what it's going to take. The problem is those greedy [curse word] want more.

 

No, he is under contract til 2015 and close to max contract.
