    YA, they didn't mention the Rockets because they don't want them to continue their pursuit of getting Pau Gasol and to bow out of the three-way deal. They have no evidence on how we tampered with D.Howard otherwise they would have said a few details on it on ESPN.

    So true. Games should be televised on MTV, right after Teen Mom 2 and right before the Jersey Shore. That should be the correct mix of drama and "reality" (Teen Mom 2 providing the reality).

    Either that meeting with Dalembert in Florida had a "secondary purpose", or Morey once again tried to lay groundwork as the 3rd team in a NJ/ORL trade.

    New York Daily News says the Nets are now "closing in on Nene" after upping their offer last night. Why would they do that if they are potentially close to getting Dwight Howard -- because of the tampering charges?

    Sources say the Magic, who have yet to decide to deal Howard, are determined to check the market and seek out the best deal.


    Whoever said "leverage", you win rep.

    Only guy I see them going after in a 3 team deal is Lopez. But ORL would want him certainly. Just doesn't make sense.

    +1 rep

    The NBA has become a total circus. Flopping, referees in gambling scandals, lockout, etc.

    Something no one is mentioning...
    If Howard did meet, then he should be facing severe penalty too.
    It goes both ways.

    I think Nets would envision Nene-Howard frontcourt pairing.

    Also, maybe Howard's camp approached Magic today with a short-list of teams to which he'd like to be traded, which included New Jersey and Houston. That may be why Houston is included in the tampering charge.

    On the question of a Gasol-Howard pairing, while it's certainly possible, I just don't see how Morey could get that done. He would have already given away a majority of his assets to get Gasol. All he's got left is Patterson, Morris, Budinger, foreign guys and a lousy future pick.

    Still puzzled....so if one team has contact, two teams have tampered?

    Want to see something about how we fit in.
