    I believe KDs home is Washington, D.C. But maybe he fell in love with Texas the one year he was here... Lol like that happened!

    rockets "assets" arent worth a damn thing. Morey needs to stop hoarding second hand players and start making sacrifices

    There goes the wet dream to the toilet. Glad I was never a dreamer.

    Start the youth movement Now! Superstars ain't coming to us unless we draft one.

    Well true.

    Not where he was born but ties because of the longhorn ps and he is beloved.

    Guess in that case

    Let's go get DeAndre Jordan :grin: kidding

    Time for plan Z

    youth movement and rebulid

    I say keep the cap low as possible and keep flexible contracts

    let are young guns get seasoned and get some experience at the NbA level under there belts. get a high draft lottery draft pick.

    just don't want to be in the middle anymore :mad:

    houton has officialy become a black hole to above average nba players. No one wants to come here aside from camby and we have owner/gm that are out of touch on how todays league works. Bad contract aside, with the new CBA starting at end of season, players are now trying to get every $ they can (dragic) but houston doesnt want to pay. Our team willl still be full of PF's and disgruntled starters when the season starts.

    Didn't the Nets trade their first round pick this year so don't they need to use their first round pick next year? Abs they've already traded a first (ours) to Atlanta.

    (3) 1st rounders with Howard Wallace Johnson and Williams on a team....

    Picks are not the valuable considering it will be in the last quarter of the 1st round

    Maybe bottom 4.

    Brooks and Humphries are expiring and RFA

    So basically the only true future the Magic gained is Marshon Brooks

    And the Nets are taking NO BAD CONTRACTS which makes zero sense.

    Just seems like the Magic are going the Nets a favor.

    Bet Mikhail Prokhorov (Nets Owner) is wiring a nice amount of compensation under the table very discreetly at various of shore accounts to Richard DeVos (Magic Owner)

    Defintley some gangster stuff going down with both owners and Stern.

    $$$$ makes anything happen.

    This. If the Magic accept this trade, Morey just needs to work with rebuilding the lights and glam for the city of Houston. No way is that Nets package close to being helpful for the loss of a franchise player. It's Gasol to LA esque

    I wouldn't be surprised if Chris Is wrong I mean I can't remember any time he actually called something! I mean according to him Lebron was going to New York! I will just have to hold of my thoughts until he suits up for someone because with Dwight you honestly won't Know until something actually happens

    1. I guess the big question for the Magic is whether they prefer taking Humphries and Lopez, at whatever their contract $ is, to the "build through youth+draft" plan. Let's see what the contract $s are and how the math works out either way.

    2. The report is that the Nets would also take back Hedo. This, and the part about multiple future 1st rounders, seem to be where Dwight's preference for the Nets makes a difference.

    My guess is that a "rental" team would be willing to risk giving a bunch of young talent, but would be more reluctant to give up multiple future 1st rounders and take on bad contracts because they'd be totally screwed (can't use cap room to make deals, can't even tank for high picks) if Dwight leaves.

    The Nets are in a unique position here.


    3. I imagine a team like Houston might be able to match or even beat that Humphries+Lopez offer with an expiring contract and young talent if it agrees to take on Hedo and give up multiple future picks. But like I said, the risk is rather great if Dwight leaves.

    i think they are free to trade their 2013 pick because this draft has passed.
