    I wonder what Orlando wants to do with some of these guys: The rookie have value/upside, I get it. But then what about Patterson or even Parsons, who are projected to be future role players. The article made it sound like Morris, Parsons and Patterson are just "contract balance" throw ins rather than the main pieces of value.

    Also, does Orlando really get value from having all these PFs on their squad, in addition to their own draftee Nicholson? If these guys don't get minutes soon, their value in the market tends to drop.

    Anyhow, wouldn't shock me, (though would make me kind of sad) for Houston to give up the whole farm with all of the farm animals, but perhaps the reports just threw out all of the possibly available players and the deal is for Orlando to take a certain number of them.

    As far as the "bad contracts" go: the report says it's among the 4 guys mentioned. So it's probably not all 4 of them. If we have to take 3, my preference would be to keep Hedo out of it-- which would allow HOU to bring in immediate reinforcement and leave them a little more flexible next summer as well.

    ok look, mediocre??!! isn't that what we are right now? we've been mediocre for 3 straight years and you still would want the status-quo and not take calculated moves and acquisitions? And dude, if you seriously think a lineup of Duhon Richardson Turkoglu Davis can compete in the WC, then you are definitely nuts.

    It's going to be a combination of all those players, not ALL those players. At least you would think...

    Principles.... You can't let selfish players dictate the direction of a franchise
    Lebron, KD, Duncan, the Boston guys were all less selfish .... they were, would be willing to take less money

    Even if we get to keep Dwight, Orlando would likely make into the second before we will.

    praying that your draft picks turn into superstars is not a bad move?

    smarter move than trading them for somebody who is already a superstar? uh, ok.

    Youre missing the point. I used profanities to make the point that we are giving up too much for dwight becaue we lose all of our pieces inexchange for bad contracts that will limit our moves to surround dwight with the team he needs to convincehim to stay. What makes you think that dwight will stay knowing ha hes playing with the same team again but with just different uniforms?

    So the proposed offer is (some speculation on the picks):

    Kevin Martin's expiring
    Chandler Parsons
    Marcus Morris
    Patrick Patterson
    Jeremy Lamb
    Royce White
    Terrence Jones
    2013 Raptors first (non lotto protected)
    2013 Mavs first (top 20 protected)
    Half of 2013 Rockets first (get if in lotto)

    For

    Dwight Howard
    Jason Richardson's contract
    Chris Duhon's contract
    Glen Davis' contract
    Hedo Turkoglu's contract (3 of 4 of these contracts)


    ARE YOU KIDDING ME?
