Rockets involved in trade talk for Dwight Howard or Andrew Bynum

This. I like Bynum, but what's the point of going for second best when best is right there in front of you? Plus, if best leaves, he is also leaving 57 Million

 

Completely agree. Although I think I'm more scared of giving up a lot of assets and picks and only getting Bynum, and letting LA get away with basically swapping Bynum for Howard.

 

Is sheridan pretty reliable with info??

 

Correct me if I'm wrong but we will not be able to amnesty any of the contracts we get through trade, correct?

 

I was under the impression that you could only amnesty players that were on your roster at the time the new CBA was put into effect.

 

Not particularly.

 

You are correct. Striped Pajamas correctly outlined the amnesty rule. The only player we might even consider is Scola

Rockets remain strongly engaged w/ Orlando in direct talks for Dwight Howard, sources tell Y! They've spent little time on 3-way scenarios.

 

make it happ'n, cap'n.

 

now im hearing the rockets in talks with the miami heat about aquiring lebron james for assets and picks

 

Good. If we're gonna go through with a trade that requires us to part with our youngsters and picks, then we better be going for it all. Especially considering that we'd have to part with a lot either way, so why help L.A.?

 

LeBron will be moreys biggest asset of all... which he will then flip into
5 first round picks
5 second round picks
& 1 Miami Heat Championship ring

 

Bucher on ESPN now saying this three team deal is ENTIRELY conceptual, and that it won't likely happen because there's zero agreement with respect to what players and assets would be moving.

Saying a Dwight trade probably won't happen this week.

 

Bynum doesn't like the old b**** Kobe, it is an open secret. He will act like a leader once he plays for another team building around him.

 

I say none of these guys have any idea what they're talking about.

 

Bucher is a Nets fan. He said the worst news of all is it won't happen for the Nets.

 

I don't disagree..especially Bucher.

He said it's a 20% likelihood that the Rockets/Magic/Lakers deal would happen...

anchor just said, "well yesterday you said it was 80% he was heading to the Nets."

 

First Sheridan saying the Dwightmare will end today

now

Bucher saying it won't happen anytime this week

Jeez ESPN get on top of your SHlT!

 

20% Lakers-Rockets-Magic deal happens as constituted per Bucher.

Also says

...it won't happen as we've heard it.
...Nets continue to be the leader because they're willing to go 'crazy'.
...straight up deal between NJ and Orlando 'could' happen but not at that point yet.
