    Come on. You know this is possible if you think about what has happened with Morey lately. I do want Bynum if we can at least get Bynum. No joke that would be serious smoke up our butts again if neither comes here.

    And the absolutely untradable Joe Johnson just was?

    I have bigger parties than attend an average Hawks game. Just sayin'...

    His scenario included having Josh Smith with Dwight. Can't trade him if you need him to convince Dwight.

    The Nash situation required a willing partner in the Suns that wanted to do a solid for Nash. The Lakers had a huge trade exception that they could use to absorb a Nash contract.

    Regardless of whether a team has one of those, it would require the Rockets being willing to trade Howard which they could just say no to. But, the Nets don't have one of those anyway.

    Good points. I don't either.

    Then again, I guess they could trade Al and Milsap BEFORE the season starts.

    Melo is not better than Bynum. Love, CP3, and D-Will are arguable. Bynum is at about the same level as all three... keeping in mind an elite center is worth more than any other position.

    Of course it is possible that he doesn't get either. That is what I expect to happen. I expect that Orlando is going to flinch and trade him to Brooklyn despite having better offers.

    Why does that mean Morey failed?

    Anyway, I really hope Clutch ip checks you.

    The cap is solid, right? I don't trust a glamor market from 'finding a way'. It's not a player's league it's an agent's league!!!

    What if tis not about his effort and just his lack of ability? Ever thought about that if it happens again?

    both are head cases and both have had serious injuries. Bynum has developed his offensive game and will continue to improve, while Dwight was taught by the world's greatest and didn't learn a single thing.
    that said, we've come this far so Maury might as well go all out for dwight.

    Fix your bayonets, grueling 24 hours in front of us.

    Yeah? You clearly don't understand the importance of the center position and how hard it is to find an elite one. Do you really think the third and fourth best point guards in basketball are better than the second best center in basketball? Get real.

    It's solid in the sense that a team over the cap can't offer the max to a player.

    Sit on his hands and the possibility becomes 100%. Give it a rest.

    LOL

    Melo is not even a top 20 player in the NBA anymore. He was always overrated and he's gotten even worse. Look at how his team did last season when he had a great supporting cast.
