    The Magic, who want multiple young players, draft picks and cap relief in a Howard trade, plan to be thorough as they explore all possibilities.

    Lopez just wants to get away from Avery, and Humphries could get Jay-Z to talk to Kanye about letting Kim go on one more date with him

    Of course the media is playing the LA and brooklyn angle... it draws more viewers and attracts bigger markets to tune into what your saying... the fact that big markets are getting talked about doesnt increase thier odds of landing dwight... the GM henigan doesnt care about anything in the media... all he cares about is the best possible package and whats best for the magic organization...

    It's just scary to offer them anymore than our Mavs pick when Dwight could leave us. Although we could potentially lottery protect the pick for a few years which wouldn't be too bad.

    This is exactly what the Rockets can offer. Not a some of the wish list, all of that can be had with the Rockets. I don't see any other team that has a better package than the Rockets with those guidelines.

    That Nets trade package in the Broussard report is garbage. Basically it would be Howard for Brooks. The two big duds are just duddy. The fist full of 1st rounders for the next "half decade" would be nothing but borderline 2nd round picks. If Howard is traded to the Nets, get Stern back on the Rome show to answer the rigged question.

    Howard in a Rockets uniform seems imminent to me. Just like at the trade deadline. Let the smoke clear, and Houston will be the last team standing again.

    because they would be getting PAID in this scenario I think that bodes well for them


    Lopez is a great offensive center but the guy makes Juwan Howard and Mo Taylor look like rebounding machines - and his defense - well he doesnt play defense


    Its like growing up Robin used to D up Brook all the time so Robin became the far better defender and Brook the better offensive player. If they were able to meld together and become one person you're probably looking at the 2nd best center in the league there easily.

    I guess this is the killshot for any Dwight Howard hopes? I'd imagine the Lakers are more than willing to get a deal for Bynum done. The only hold up would be whether Howard is willing to re sign.

    He won't do that until...wait for it....

    Houston and Orlando get a verbal agreement on a trade. This is annoying.

    it is very possible for nets to get Dwight Howard. I believe that Deron decided to stay because of him. He really needs an all-star center to corporate with him.

    Now that Lakers have Nash ESPN LA reported that they will keep the rest of team together. This should help our chances to get DH. I hope other teams pull out so we don't have to give away as many young players.

    Wondering impact of Nash signing with Lakers on Dwight trade. I mean their window is now more like 3 years, so unless Dwight is willing to sign an extension, why would they trade Bynum to Orlando for a rental.

    Nash, Kobe, Hill(?)/Peace, Gasol, Bynum not enough to contend?

    And if this is true ... we need to sign Lin so we can send Lowry + picks + young players to Orlando.

    Or Start Scott Machado next year ...

    What about Ramon Sessions or Raymond Felton if NY matches offer?
