    Sounds good what they say, but really what the hey does it mean?

    The fellow will be traded. Soon. But, to which team, how many teams in the deal, who gets who and who gets stuck with whom?

    PS Give me Bynum and less outlaid than Howard might cost, and extended!

    Yea Bynum had more rebounds in one game last year than Brooke had all season.

    can the rockets even put there best offer forward at the moment?

    dont we first need to see what happens with asik and lin? (yes, i know its highly likely both get matched but it needs to become official first before we can move on with cap space)

    Random: Dwight was seen in what appears to be a Lakers hat. OMG! Everyone freak out now! :p

    Exactly, I don't know what more they could possibly be looking for. What do they stand to gain in dragging this thing out? I don't anticipate the offers getting any better, unless someone like us had something that we weren't willing to give up?

    Still, everybody in the league is going to have to move on at some point. Are they really willing to risk getting left in the dust instead of gaining something guaranteed(a future plan) out of this?

    That's not a Lakers hat. It's not even Laker gold on the bill.

    Rez, the Rockets dont have a Kobe or a Gasol to provide all those opportunities for Bynum.

    If Bynum is the best player on a team, a player a team tries to build around, the ceiling is a constant first round and done team, if that. And yet you want to pay him 15+ million??

    That's just crazy.

    He will mail it in once he gets his money too. You watch. His attitude doesnt scream that he wants to be great. He's Carlos Lee.

    Howard will most probably arrive to houston and NOT sign extension to test free agency nxt season which sucks for us. I would rather stick to Asik

    Naively, I agree with you. If, say, the Rockets are willing to give up X for a 1-year rental and the chance to convince D-Ho to stay, then what would they be willing to give up for a 0.5-yr rental and less of a chance to convince him? 60% of original X?

    So it seems to me that if Orlando doesn't do something in the next month or so, (and their options already shrank today), then they are looking at trying to convince him to stay long term.

    Mavs just amnestied Haywood but Kaman is going to make about the same amount so they still don't have max cap room.
