Orl meet with mavs about Dwight, orlando also prefers lakers offer over rockets

That, or they prefer the Rockets offer but want to squeeze out some more and are bluffing..

 

at this point i really dont care to get dwight. i'm 95% convinced he will leave at the end of the season regardless.

 

DH12 to LA:grin::grin:
Better for him and for us

 

Jesus, how low can you go? That's not even realgm.com? Source is worthless.

 

Same s***, different day. Where you at Orem???

 

You're right. Same ish, diff day. We've always had the best offer. Thanks for pointing it out.

 

Just Fegan trying to make it appear that where there is smoke, there is fire. In this case though, that's not the case. Call his bluff Morey.

 

Isn't funny how every report that comes out about Howard that doesn't include Houston is a fake? Yeah, that is kinda strange.

 

same crap - Orl not gonna take Bynum without guarantee/extension

Morey out leveraged RH and now he's just flat out desperate . . .

 

We know that we're not his first, second, third, or whatever option right now. The key with Howard is right now. He changes his mind. He will re-sign if he's traded here.

 

No. The article says Orlando believes its offer from the Lakers is the superior one. It absolutely does NOT say that it's "more appealing to the Magic".

There's no doubt that the LA offer is "best", in a vacuum. Andrew Bynum is clearly the second-best center in the NBA, is only 24 years old and has accumulated his massive numbers as merely a second/third option. In a league where stars rule and quality beats quantity, it's hands down the best offer of all, including ours. However, the Magic are reportedly not interested because of both his contract situation and long-term concerns over his knees.

Even so, it makes sense to leverage your "best" offer on the rest of the league, even if it doesn't work for Orlando's specific situation. i.e., "Can you beat an Andrew Bynum offer"? Standard negotiating.

 

So if you were managing a company and were looking to gain assets from another top company with great accounts, wouldn't you try to make it seem that all the other companies had a much better offer on the table to try and squeeze as much as you could out of the other company?

Pretty basic business strategy imo and I'm far from a business guru, believe you me.

 

The biggest reason I want Morey to land Howard is just to see your posts after.

 

Posturing. Fegan is working overtime putting out this crap. They are really getting desperate now.

 

the longer this goes on the more and more I want to give less and less.

 

i never wanted D-12! Keep the rooks!

 

Good, great, move on... should not even be a consideration at this point. I would think most Rockets fans hold the team in higher regard than to even rent DH.

I think we have more pride and would rather see our rookies develop.

If you can make a trade in the next two years after the youngsters' value has risen, great. If they reach or surpass their potential and we then have a home grown All-star, even better.

Just give up this idea that DH would stay if we could just get him her.

It’s starting to feel kinda creepy, like the Rockets are stalking someone who never wanted to date them in the first place.

 

Orlando Front Office could annouce there not trading with the Rockets and people here would call it a bluff and post a trade scenario lol.

 

They won't be angry posts. Just a bunch of i told you so's.
