    Its fine. My wife does the same thing to meat and makes me cringe to cook it that way or buy it like that. I really do prefer the juicy texture of a slightly pink or "bloody" steal.

    and yes to Mike Lu that is me. I own up to my own mistakes if Morey pulls of something good. Morey will have earned praise.

    Agreed. Just look at all the big time players Dwight has attracted to Orlando over the years.

    I predict that, in 4 years, Lin's value > Bynum's value.

    Of course... If it's pink, it's well beyond the safe temp for beef. Uncooked beef would be red, and it would look gelatinous.

    What if we then traded Gasol and Douglas and Iggy and picks? We could then sign Brooks back to a cheap contract.

    Brooks/Livingston/Ish
    Iggy/Lamb
    Parsons/Turk/White
    Leuer/Dmo
    Bynum/Smith/Jordan

    We all know the Rockets can offer Howard $20-30 million more than any team if we get him. How much more can the Rockets offer Bynum? If it's more than $10 million then there is a good chance Andrew Bynum would remain our franchise player. I think he cares most about money.

    all transactions in the league are stuck depending on what this moron Dwight does

    Philly wants to make deals, Toronto wants to make deals, a lot of players are stuck right now because GMs are waiting to see how this will all play out

    I just find it BS how in the projected trade, we are giving up a plethora of young players and our draft picks to Orlando, and we don't even walk away with the big prize. All the Lakers do in this scenario is upgrade their Center position at no cost. They form a short dynasty with Nash, Kobe, Pau and Howard.

    I'm not buying it. If we are offering a certain package for Howard to get shipped to L.A., I don't see why we don't gamble and take Dwight for ourselves. Yeah yeah as of now Bynum may sign an extension, but he isn't on the same planet as Dwight as far as basketball skills go.

    Go all in. Go big or go home. Bring Howard to Houston.

    In most places if you ask for medium rare there is still blood. If there is still blood, it's still raw.

    A big debate this season was who was better, Howard and Bynum and it was considered to go either way based on preference. I remember on Sportsnation like 70% said Bynum, so I don't think it is a huge dropoff of talent, but I do agree Howard is a bit better. But I'd rather have a younger bynum for 5 years then Howard for 1.

    Aldridge on 4 team trade sending Richardson and Howard to Brooklyn: "I know everyone wants this trade to happen:(....it gets very difficult with 3 or 4 teams involved."

    Uh, no. Everybody does NOT want to see Williams, Johnson, Richardson, Wallace and Howard form the next super team. Only Brooklyn fans want it. The rest of the NBA? No. The Lakers and Heat have 2-3 more years. The Spurs, Celtics and Mavericks have expired and Blake Griffin just isn't good enough to win without a post game. The Thunder might lose Harden soon. Why would everyone want another super team for the next 5+ years?
