    If the Bulls DO match Asik we're looking at a package of all 3 rooks plus picks and martin and one or more of Parsons Patterson or Morris for Glenn Davis, Jason Richardson, and Chris Duhon... Line -up looks like this..

    AB/Douglas/Duhon
    Richardson/Douglas
    Parsons or Morris/Richardson
    Patterson and or D-Mo/ Brock
    Dwight/ Jordan

    If they dont match Asik we'll look like this

    AB/Douglas,Duhon
    J-Rich/Douglas
    Forbes/J-Rich
    D-Mo/ Davis
    Dwight/ Asik

    In either scenario we need Dwight to get close to Josh Smith and tell him to request a trade to Houston and let them take back some expiring contracts for next season and possibly Douglas and whatever the heck else we can give them.. Not much unless Asik is matched.. Then we could offer whatever young talent we dont give up to match the salaries to the magic..

    It's not even the point.

    The point is trading your entire team, plus the future of that team, for a possible one year rental for a player is incredibly risky.

    It's like betting your entire house and life savings on a 50/50 chance to win 50k or something.

    I'm pretty sure it's with Dwight signing an extension.

    uhmm, excuse me, I am not your "son". You may address me as "Your majesty", or "Master w22", or "Generalissimo W22". I'll let you pick.

    And rebuild with the "young talent" we have??!! While getting 14th picks each and every year??? who on this roster has a chance to be special??! who on this roster has any real upside??!?!?!

    And in the West, that lineup is not much better than the Charlotte Bobcats.

    LOL, Dwight has not had a change of heart about extending here.

    Hopefully he isn't black-mailed.

    yeah but we rebuild with 3 bad contracts/mediocre players passed their prime and delay retooling our roster another year. I'd rather do that now than hand over the farm.

    I think Morey has leverage...he should use it. Give up lots of assets/rooks/picks or less + garbage contracts. NOT BOTH

    Give them the 95 Championship while you're at it too. This proposal is terrible. Reminds me of this.

    Also that Dwight is likely to miss a month or so and take his sweet time to get back.

    By the time he does the Rockets will be 10 or games under .500 for sure.

    I BLAME the BOBCATS... Had they not pick Michael Kidd-Gilchrist and pick Thomas Robinson, Sacramento would have traded the #5 pick to us, that would have made life easier

    What future are we trading? We can't trade any of our future draft picks because of T-Will. You trade the present for a chance at Howard. If he leaves then you still have your future.

    I know right?! What a steal for us. Absolute highway robbery for us. Would be Morey's best move to date by far.

    Hell might as well throw in Kevin McHale as part of the package too, if they want our whole team

    I don't know why people on CF always fail to read what was actually written.

    THEY ARE SPECULATING ABOUT SALARY CAP MATH--AND WHAT'S MORE, THEY ARE WRONG! THEY DO NOT HAVE ANY INSIDE INFORMATION ABOUT WHAT THE ROCKETS HAVE ACTUALLY OFFERED TO THE MAGIC!

    Do you guys understand yet?

    Look, if you only one shot, one opportunity... To seize everything you ever wanted... One moment... Would you capture it? Or just let it slip?

    We have the upper hand. Those names imo arent legit. We dont have to give the farm for him. They lost leverage when Lopez was signed to his 4years. Remember DM's daughter would go off if Parsons was traded.
