I think your logic is flawed. Morey would NOT offer an arm and a leg for a player rehabbing from back surgery with one year of contract left that claims he'll test free agency before he'll sign with the Rockets. Too much risk to go all in on that. I'm sure his offer is decent but not spectacular. And if you're right that Morey thinks less of Bynum and therefore would offer less for him than Howard, my bet is that the Magic isn't enthralled with either offer from Morey. But Dan Gilbert can offer as much or more. He's got a couple of decent young players (Thompson and Zeller), they've got a boatload of draft picks that figure to be lottery picks even with Bynum. He can take back bad contracts just as well as Houston can. So the Magic have two alternatives in this three-way instead of just one. Neither Cleveland nor Houston are going to commit major assets on Dwight because of the risk they can't keep him. Bynum is a different story because he'll likely remain with either of those teams.
I hear you, but if we can keep Lamb and White, Donuts cant be traded, then you should probably make that happen.. Bynum is like a child acting out against the coach, I believe if put in the right situation like HOU, he'd calm down, I think he'd like it here and he ssaid he'd re-up a contract extension.. he'll make us really good and we'd be on our way to championship contention alot faster
If Phil Jackson couldnt and didnt get Bynums attention...McHale will lose his patience as well...Bynum is stubborn and its his way...or he throws fits...I seriously dont want any part of a guy who is at serious risk with the amount of stress he has had on his knee joint...and patella(mind you this is a very recurring dislocation in the field of medicine)...Bynum coming to houston in his prime is like Yao after the 2005 Dallas -Rockets season...things will all come tumbling down... The Rockets should be all about Dwight or move on to like getting Josh Smith...
Dwight's back finishes him or Bynum's knees finish him or the rookies break out... Which one occurs first?
Guess Howard doesn't want to sign with the Lakers after all. http://espn.go.com/nba/story/_/id/8...oward-sign-extension-team-explore-free-agency
lol at those comments..."his decision show is going to take 2 seasons 24 episodes." Dammit Bizzaro, Brooklyn aint' happenin'.
These reporters especially the ones at the four letter network are just throwing **** at the wall and hoping it will stick. I trust the people on this board for accurate information before I would those morons over there. The only thing that scares me more than Bynum's knees is his knucklehead factor. He is just like the kid in Sacramento the only thing is the kid has better knees.
Look its pretty clear no one except the teams involved know what's really going on, Orlando is probably leaking false information left and right hoping DM or Cleveland will get desperate and cave. From what I can definitely see though, these are the undisputed facts: *Houston made a low ball offer -the fact that DH is still twisting in the wind to this is proof that we have made a low ball offer. I mean, this is DM the GM we're talking about, there were stories before about how everyone treats him like spam because he always rings other GMs up with low ball/useless offers in hopes someone somewhere will bite. Right now his offer probably consists of MM, PP, picks and maybe a bad contract. Hennigan's probably going out of his mind because what LAL can offer is barely better (Bynum leaving in FA and with bad knees), and Cleveland's Varejao and useless picks are, well, useless (LOL at getting Tyrus Thompson and that bust SG).
The horribleness of it all, watching a young team grow together, while counting the lottery balls and finally getting a high pick so we can draft http://nbadraft.net/players/shabazz-muhammad or http://nbadraft.net/players/nerlens-noel
Call me when he ready to commit to the Clippers, because the only way he's going to LA is in Red and Blue. The Lakers don't have the trade assets to get him with out a third team. This discuss it on this article by Forbes... A Dwight-to-LA trade will only happen if the Magic have NO OTHER OPTIONS. There is no way they trade Dwight for Bynum straight up (or including Blake and McRoberts) if they have even a slightly better offer on the table. And I don’t see the Lakers being able to recruit a third team as trade partners. Hypothetical conversation from the article: Fegan hits the phones hard, and gives Daryl Morey, GM of the Rockets, a call. He floats the Houston-as-a-third-team-facilitator idea to Morey, who promptly tells him to piss off. Morey knows that if Houston has the assets that Orlando wants, they’d rather just deal for Howard straight up. http://www.forbes.com/sites/quora/2...ade-the-lakers-can-make-to-get-dwight-howard/ So screw the Lakers....
It must mean bc they have headquarters in northeast & LA now... That ESPN has some bias-ness now in basketball even more so than the MLB now, must mean $$$$$$$$$$ "Dwight" €€€€ "Dwight Howard today ate at in n out" $$$$ it has to...these players n these "sports reporters" just guessing. Trying to grab any air possible, so they can say told ya so
