    It wouldn't shock me to see Asik and Anderson and Anjinca for Dwight, Jones and trash.

    If the Pels are having second thoughts about the contract they gave Asik, they may want to do this. I know this isn't as exciting as a Kevin Love trade, but I think this might be a possibility.

    so tired of shaq and his obsession with dwight. why can't people just accept for who he is? dwight is not shaq or hakeem. and thats okay. anyone who thought dwight was going to magically develop a post game by working with McHale and Dream is a damn idiot. who the hell develops a post game in their late 20s?

    I think there's a small window here. You would think a Dwight + Ariza package would be pretty attractive to Lebron and company in matching up with the Warriors.

    I am guessing this has changed entirely since warriors have won the title.

    I think that's referring to Lakers Dwight and not our Dwight.

    I couldn't handle Asik losing the ball out of bounds and blowing wide open layups again

    I do believe Shaq did say it has to do with the Superman nickname and branding. Howard came into the league stepping all over Shaq's branding. Shaq has no respect for Howard not being his own man.

    There is an article out there somewhere in which Shaq actually lays out how Howard just stepped all over Shaq's business brand.

    That's when Dwight was a Laker & impending FA.

    Does this mean we're getting Klay Thompson for Dwight Howard?!?! Maybe throw in Draymond Green as well??

    I am not enamored with Love

    IF we were to get love. . .then both Jones and DMo are expendable
    I am more intrigued by DMo than Love at this point

    Because I feel DMo will be AS GOOD and CHEAPER in the long run
    I am thinking of taking a flyer on him
    though his injury does concern me greatly

    If I am moving Dwight I am thinking CENTER - SF - PG
    in that order

    I don't get it why no mention of Howard for Love or Howard to Atlanta?

    Because those trades would actually benefit us and the media hates us

    And as for the Boston trade why would you want to salary cap sucking non lotto picks and two expirings for Howard AND Harrell?!

    Howard is a friggin expiring contract himself and those picks are trash...:mad:

    People don't like him because they think he fits a black stereotype, which a lot of people apparently do not like.
