    FA destinations did not include SnT possibilities. What might the answers have been if the Clips' SnT carrot could be dangled? Or even the Warriors'?

    This is not a vacuum.

    And, JSmoove? I see him in TheToyShop if DHoHo becomes Dwight Hou-ward and 'demands' Smith be brought in. If.

    I'm still of a mind that the Lakers won't hand their same-building Clippers any championships. Better to let DH12 walk than to trade him for not-really-improving Griffin.

    And Golden State was reported as a media plant to see what reporters were leaking info/couldn't be trusted.

    Would love to sign both Dwight and Josh Smith That would be an incredible lineup if we were able to keep Parsons.

    D12
    Smith
    Parsons
    Harden
    PG

    We really need to move Lin, while he has some value left. He's young. He's able to run the PnR.

    My best case Scenario:

    Sign Howard outright
    Sign and trade Asik for Smith and a pick
    Win the conference

    I just hope that if we end up with Howard that we get a HEALTHY player with the same kind of dedication he had when he led Orlando to the finals a few years ago. I do not want the "Dwightmare" that whines and pouts to the media all the time that is unhappy and wanting to play somewhere else. The focused Dwight (like in Orlando championship run) will make this team better and should have us contending for a championship ourselves. The "Dwightmare" could destroy the good chemistry this team built last season.

    It just makes too much sense for Howard to play in Houston. The one argument for Howard to stay with LA is money and that's not even that strong of an argument.

    Weird. The rest of us were hoping he'd be unhealthy and spend all of his time whining and pouting.

    Lol that Aaron guy is a real joker, what a fool. He's like the guy who didn't vote Lebron for MVP b/c he HAD to be different.

    I think we'd have to send them Asik, Lin, and two of our pf's to get Smith in a sign and trade.

    No way. Asik and 1 PF would do it if Smith takes less than the max. The Hawks would be over the moon getting Asik in a S&T. Look at what Boston could be offering - a 15 mil tpe and what, draft picks? or nobodys!.

    If we get Smith, Lin would stay, Asik would go as would another PF.

    My scenario assumes we sign D12... the money doesn't work unless we send out more salary.
