    No interesting legit news, lots of fake insiders pretending to be clutchfans and the like but that's about it. Are the bids basically in at this point? Asik has been signed/not matched so that situation is settled.

    A week ago (and the week prior and so on) I could come hourly and find new tweets that gave out actual info. I could do it at like 1am and still get something interesting. Now... not so much.

    They're never going to like them. They're always going to want more and will eventually have to settle for less than their ideal offer. I think it's more like they are waiting to see what offer to pick. They want to see the young guys play more to know which ones to choose from.

    IMO, they will get more now than they will in February, but they are threatening to wait until then. Dumbass!

    Magic front office said they were going on vacation,then reports were they would go to LALA land and try to convince howard to stay in mickey mouse land .

    Morey I believe is on his way to London for 10 day's ... could be quiet for awhile ...anybody's guess what's really going on.

    The Magic FO thinks if they wait it out and take more vacations, the offers will get better. They wont.

    I could go either way with getting or not getting him. If we don't, we have some great prospects. If we do, and he doesn't resign. We would get everything we gave up to get him back via sign and trade with another team.

    Hoping that it just goes away so that we can get on with our rebuilding.

    Dont understand this logic...Do you want to live the rest of you life pickin 14th or making a quick exit in the first round?

    This team WITHOUT trading for howard is still a good enough team in my opinion to have an ok record, i doubt well be top 10 since most teams in the east are an absolute mess.

    So unless we strike absolute GOLD in the draft which is very doubtful, Howard has to be the play we make , and really anyone who cant see that is either

    1. A DH hater, because of all the drama he HAS CAUSED...NOT ACCEPTABLE

    2. Scared hed bolt after the year....ACCEPTABLE, but thats what managment is for, and i have enough trust in our FO that if they did infact trade for DH , they will find a way to keep him.

    My prediction: we do not get Dwight Howard and just roll with our youngsters, more or less.

    Maybe the front office liked what they saw in Vegas.

    Because the best form of negotiation is to make your offer, and then go silent.

    You have a point here. If the Rockets go to Orlando, we're weak, but if they come to us, we're strong.
