    Maybe Howard listened to Shaq... Haha, Shaq's right though... Hakeem wouldn't put up with not getting the ball regularly.

    Yeah, it would be stupid... We'd have to give up a good player, or Nets release him...

    I still would like to believe he's a top PG in this league. Maybe the Utah glory days are over, but he's a improvement over Pat.

    When does the salary cap go up due to the TV deal as well?

    No to D-Will he's a shell of his former self and very injury prone. Let him rot in Brooklyn

    Breaking News: The Rockets hope to get better and will be very aggressive at the trade deadline! Also, water is wet, the sky is blue the ocean is deep and Im a douche bag.

    Exactly. If that is all it cost, it would be unbelievable if DM hadn't already pulled the trigger.

    Although, it would be nice to package Shved with other contracts to add Dragic.

    That is an actual pick. There is essentially no chance it isn't conveyed this season.

    I really hope this rumors of Murrays infatuation with DWill are greatly exaggerated

    With the way the Knicks are playing maybe we can get Calderon for not much makes about J Terry salary. A good point guard who can shoot, but is not looking to take shots first. A good pg for our team and compliments Harden well. Defense a concern, but we still have PB for that a with him can also run an offense.

    Maury may be infatuated with DWill. But he is more infatuated with another beauty. Her name is Flexibility. DWill kills Flexibility. As sexy as DWill is to Morley, it's not sexy enough to pull him away from Baby-F.

    No way Morey shoots down these DWill rumors regardless of how stupid it would be to trade for him.

    Its called leverage folks. Always make the car salesman think that you are close to walking over across the street to the Honda dealership to get the Civic if they don't cut you a good deal.

    GM's know the Rockets need a PG upgrade, and they know what assets the Rockets have to spend to get it. If they think Morey might be close to calling up Billy King to seal a deal on DWill, they might be more inclined to call Morey back and keep him "on the lot" so to speak.

    They know they might not get another buyer with the assets Morey has for their guy... if they really are open to trade him later on. Keep the buyer on the lot.
