[ESPN] Sources: New trade offer in works (for Dwight Howard)

The Rockets, according to a league source briefed on the discussions, are willing to take one bad contract back from the Magic, not two or three, as has been speculated. And in return, Houston will give up one of the their three first-round picks in last month’s Draft– Jeremy Lamb, Royce White or Terrence Jones –but only one. http://hangtime.blogs.nba.com/2012/07/13/dwight-update-not-close-to-a-trade-with-rockets/

 

Would that hold up and eventually force them into a deal? Seems awfully risky.

 

Well if you don't like what I write, don't read it and waste my time.

 

interesting. Morey is lowballing big-time

 

How are you wasting time by him reading something you took the time to write? I mean, this is a serious brain teaser to me right now.

 

This makes a lot more sense to me. Seeing the ESPN trade proposal for Dwight I thought why the hell is Orlando still holding on to him. No way will any team offer what the Rockets were in that scenario.. That comment about Denver holding on to Carmelo until the trading deadline worries me. I don't want this crap to carry on into the season.

 

Does make more sense. However, I think DA is just trying to stir up controversy. I really dont see this running over into the season. Dwight has made it clear he does not want to be in Orlando. Even after a call, he is still adamant about leaving.

 

I'm a little scared of how low Morey is pitching. I'm all for that, but I don't want it to drag out too long to where others might jump in with offers the Magic are stupid enough to consider because they get delusional.

Like others in this thread have previously posted, I think things will be a little "quiet" until the offer sheets are settled. Once all of that is taken care of, things might heat up on the trade front again.

 

They will take what Morey gives them and they will like it.

 

Stop pretending that your Miss Cleo.

 

good job morey , dont screw over our teams future and become a trash dump for orlando

 

Regarding @daldridgetnt report... 100% spot on. Houston not doing a deal as reported... too much

still the best offer on the market. Why pay more than you need to just out of inpatience?

 

Let's get this straight... Draft night, we are pushing hard to package all 3 of our picks and Lowry + whatever to get in a position to ge in the top 5 to trade for Howard. Now, all of a sudden, we are only willing to give up 1 pick. Not buying it. It's the exact opposite of last night.

Last night was Orlando fans' wet dream, tonight is Houston fans'. Hopefully tomorrow we meet in the middle and a deal gets done.

 

Of course talks are dead right now and sides arent talking...we have to wait until the Lin and Asik situations are settled before we discuss specifics with the Magic.

Dwight will be a Rocket. Its just a matter of time.

 

You're sounding like jopatmc

 

That's called rental price. It's not low-balling. There will be a bunch of draft picks involved and other players, but you don't give up most of your talent away for a rental. If that was the case a lot of teams would be lined up to get him and you see it ain't that many.
