    Lol nope but I wonder sometimes how people on this board act
    like we have some diamonds that no1 knows about. From Lowry to these rookies, to going bk Landry -our fans in clutchcity.net overvalue players to such an extent it makes me wonder if they understand bball. This guy wants our draft picks, and somehow we sign CP3 (which dunno how that'll work in last place)-the reason we want a Howard or Bynum is bc it is so rare in the NBA
    now to have dominant big men to build around. If this was over rudy gay or even Dwayne wade I could understand, but it's a 7 footer -a top 2 center in the current league

    I would love that team!! I don't know what kind of PG you get or just be somewhat mediocre as the players develop this year and add a PG next year?

    Completely agree. The goal should be to expend everything before giving up these guys...especially Motie.

    This is obscene. Bynum is the second best, and at times proved to be capable of being the best, center in the NBA.

    To think an expiring martin, 2 first rounders, and a 2nd rounder is potentially too much for that skill level is ridiculous.

    Exactly... i didn't feel it was necessary to get into that aspect considering the original statement but thank you for covering that point as well.

    This is leverage?

    Lopez
    Davis/ Nicholson/Quinn/Harper/(Clark)
    Turkey/Richardson
    Brooks/Reddick/Richardson/Wafer
    Nelson/Duhon

    They would have a top 10 pick from their pick, but that's about it. Those Nets picks are garbage.

    They want cap space. They want Houston's cap space.

    Who said iam using this game to determine whos better lol ....if the stats were opposite id still want Dwight every day of the week

    It just emphasizes the gap difference between these two players because some on the board have the misconception that hes actually close

    Being the so-called #2 Center in the league has really inflated his stock IMO ...i think last season was his first season to go over 50games...I just think with the gap difference in caliber coupled with more worrying injury concerns should just eliminate Bynum completely.....Either we get Dwight now or wait to offer the max for Bynum NEXT YEAR....that to me is the safest and smartest way of conducting our business

    I would much rather take a chance on Bynum and his knees knowing he wants to be here than Dwight and his back knowing he doesn't want to be here.

    Is Bynum/Motiejunas a championship frontcourt to build around? How good will Lamb be?

    I just am not sold on Bynum as being "the guy" you build a team around.

    the rockets can keep lamb and montejunas cause they can offer Jones, and 2 pics next year and the captors pick. Most of flexibility if they are intent on keeping Mont, and white

    But Bynum has an attitude problem and is hot-tempered! We've never had a promising, talented Center with a hot-tempered attitude problem!!!! ;)

    We need someone to give the heat some competition anyway.
