Sources: Houston has started contacting teams about trading Dwight Howard

Kings making a push for Pau.

 

Hoping Morey can call Vlade and mind f him into swindling Cauley-Stein in a Dwight package. Vivek wants to make the playoffs and loves big names.

 

This is what Morey does. The asking price is always really high, the art of the deal.

We'll know by tomorrow. Still a ton of time left.

 

I was thinking the same but it seems a deal will be done shortly. Pau to Sacramento.
And ofc next season he will opt out and sign elsewhere.

 

Why are we believing in this radio host?

I doubt there is a major rift between harden and Howard.

The rift is the team won 56 and 54 games the past 2 years went to the wcf and thought they would be in the hunt for a title with GS, SA and Cavs.

Reality set in quick like 11 games quick and now we are here.

 

Yeap. He'll go to Memphis next season.

 

yeah. That's what I knew too. But then Woj wrote today about how much he loved Chicago. Perhaps leak from agent to stop him from getting traded.
He really hates being traded.

 

I agree on this. The only complaint I have with Morey is he's been pretty bad to avg at best on finding contributing players in the draft. I'm really starting to doubt his best player available approach, there have been a lot of good player picked after his picks that are much better.

But his cap management and ability to create max cap space every year is second to none, He's the master at that and can't be over looked.

I personally wouldn't trade dwight unless he's asked for one. Only trade I'd do is with atlanta for Teague and Horford.

 

funniest thing about this trade deadline will be when Morey ends up making no moves

 

Never underestimate Philly. Morey has two or three options lined up right now. Probably trying to swing a first round pick somewhere to throw into another trade. But if we got nothing Dwight will go to Philly.

I like the trade, but do you think Philly would even glance at this?

 

Don't believe the hype. No matter what the circumstance is, in the NBA the GM that deals away the best player in a trade will always take the most heat. There IS no scenario where Morey will look good in trading Dwight away, unless it's for a player that ends up better than him over the next five years. A tall order given the poo poo platter we've been hearing bandied about on the national waves.

Like DaDa said, no deal is better than a bad deal.

 

No. Unless somehow Hinkie gave us the Winky, and he's coming back in the trade, too.


Did I just type that Hinkie gave us the Winky? It's passed my bedtime...

 

Yeah but is too late on not dealing. The damage has been done and trades I believe the Rockets will make tomorrow by the trading deadline like or not.

 

i just did this in 2k and it totally works..

 

I legit think I would cry.

 

Apparently Okafor is on the block. Maybe we throw in a pick. But Hinkie may do it IMO.

 

Here I am F5'n like im Lesnar and read this...

 

Has anyone read the new Brian T Smith article he wrote? I'd be interested in hearing some of yalls opinions on this. He totally ****s on Harden!

 

Just read it and I think it is a great article with many valid points.
