CBS Sports: Rockets the most serious "rental" team pursuing Howard

Here comes the fax machine error garbage. If dude isn't in the room with Devos, and Orlando management, what does that tell you???

 

I have a bad feeling that Morey placed all his "assets" into the pipdream of acquiring Dwight.

No Bueno.

 

It tells you he's on a road trip.

 

Did Howard's agent also sign the contract? I believe that was also a condition for the Magic.

 

They flew back to Orlando last night.

 

You have 2.5 hours morey.

Go

 

no, he did that for Gasol but Stern killed him eerr it.

 

Until Orlando announces they've got the paper, I'm wondering if this is all still a ruse to use all the time to the trade deadline, not sign the opt in, and not get traded.

 

Wow... so Howard would rather waive his ETO than risk being traded to HTown...

 

get delfino, kaman, dump martin's contract for an expiring (ray allen) and call it a day.

 

Not necessarily. For all we know the Rockets were never even really in there for Howard.

 

Here's a link to the Press conference:

I think you can substitute Houston for any team not on his short list. Nothing to take personal here or at least not to personal.

 

Its ok. Lets move on and see what morey can net us

 

So Dwill to the mavs this offseason?

 

If this doesn't open Morey's and Alexander's eyes to rebuilding thru the draft nothing will. Free Agents dont choose rebuilding teams!!! They choose teams who already have other all-stars to play with!!!!!!!!!

Morey passes on an all-star type in Bogut (I know when healthy) to do what? You have to roll the dice sometimes and Bogut would have made for the perfect gamble. It seems Morey keeps looking for lop-sided deals and those just aren't out there very often.

 

I agree with all of this. But maybe he can still do Kyle & Scola for Gasol and expirings or second rounders for Kaman leaving:

Dragic/someone other than Flynn
Martin/Lee
Parsons/Bud/Morris
Gasol/PPat
Kaman/Dalembert

Not bad to go into the playoffs with.

 

@WojYahooNBA: RT @EthanJSkolnick: Congrats to @MisterRudolph on the Dwight Howard scoop.

I posted this because someone here, scooped it last night. When I have time, I'm gonna sift through and find out who it was and rep you. I called BS last night, I was wrong. Good work sir.

 

Magic CEO and GM are sucking off Dwight right now. Just disgusting how Dwight has them on a string.

 

What makes you think he passed? We don't have a player on our roster that could match up to Ellis.
