    This move is only good if it helps getting us Dwight Howard with an extension.

    I'm not positive but I'm pretty sure they would note that it is the "Rockets pick via Toronto" on the air to clear any confusion on that.

    Thats what I am saying. Why put any protection on it if we are gonna be out of a pretty good player and they give practically nothing else?

    We've already got that locked down, so the Raptors can't get that pick. ;)

    The Mavs pick is from the Jordan Hill trade.

    We own the Mavs from the Fisher trade via LA. We don't have anything owed to us by the Suns

    If we are rebuilding we better not go after Howard...

    We finally collect all these great pieces for a team rebuilding to give them all up on a hope and a prayer...and now we don't even have anything to surround Dwight with except a bunch of young players!

    I was probably the #1 supporter of the Dwight Howard movement here but not anymore. There's absolutely no point in him coming here since Dragic, Lowry and Lee are all gone with the likelihood of Martin and Scola gone in a separate deal or as part of a package for Dwight including our young assets like Parsons, Dmo, Lamb, White, Jones etc.

    We are tanking for sure.

    i was for getting Dwight prior to the draft, but not after; and certainly not after losing Dragic, Lee, and Lowry.

    There is always the hope that if we are able to outbid other teams for Dwight and we know he isn't going to sign here long term by the February trading deadline, we can flip him to the Lakers for Andrew Bynum and another piece...
