    Is a clusterf**k... there's a million potential player moves and rumors and all the action is happening over the course of 3 weeks rather than 5 months. Who's with me?

    Seriously. I really rolled my eyes when I read "Paul refuses to re-sign with the Hornets, wants trade to NY" as well as "Deron Williams refuses to re-sign with the Nyets... wants to team up with whoever." Its just getting silly now. So much for a CBA that creates parity and fairness :rolleyes:

    There will eventually just be three superteams.

    Lakers with Dwight, Kobe, Gasol, Odom
    Heat with big three
    Knicks with CP3, Melo, Amare

    Deron will somehow sign with one of the above as well.

    A growing number of execs starting to believe that Magic will indeed give strong consideration to doing Dwight deal before season starts

    No offense, but if you thought that this CBA was about creating parity and fairness, you're a fool. It was about the owners getting their cut in exchange for letting the players have superteams. That's what it was always about.

    Ultimate awkwardness when he makes his return for All Star Weekend.

    All this new CBA did was basically reward bad management and do nothing to help out teams run by good management.

    why would the average player care about superteams?

    They would care about moving where they like, and some of the proposals to limit superteams would have limited player movement in general. Either way, the owners were just concerned about getting money, that's what it was always about, and anyone who thought they were doing this lockout for competitive balance was completely wrong, as this offseason is showing.

    hmm lets read into this...morey has a deal already in place with orlando to send dwight howard to houston in exchange for assets, picks, and.. scola?

    come december 9th, dwight howard will become a houston rocket. book it.

    actually.. don't book it. lightly pencil it in. and make sure you have a really good eraser handy just in case. not one of those crappy ones at the end of an old pencil that leaves marks on you paper. a nice one :grin:

    The Knicks will sign a dead corpse if it will accept a one-year contract.

    I'm anxious to see the Suns, if they get rid of Nash, they have basically nothing except Gortat, and Brooks will be stuck in China until March.
