    If we make this trade, can this trade blow-up in our faces 5 years from now, and be worse than the Hershel Walker deal in the early 90's with Jim Johnson and Jerry Jones.( i know you cant compare the NFL to the NBA).

    Im just saying, because i wanna see how Dwight plays after that back surgey before we commit our prospects, and future draft choices

    I think folks here are keying on how to convince him to stay..... few mentioned for what players Morey intends to swap him for at the deadline if he cannot be convinced

    You won't be thinking that way in 3-4 years when Dwight is long gone and Lamb, White, and Parsons are making Allstar games.

    Y'all are funny. This deal is Orlando's offer so Morey will settle somewhere in between.

    This is the way to go though, by giving up our 2012 draft picks we get to keep Donatas Motiejunas and all our future picks so if Dwight leaves we can successfully tank.

    Exchange Parsons or one of the rookies for Leuer/Harrelson/Livingston and that will probably be the deal. If Morey is really good, he will get to keep two of the rookies and Parsons and send them Dallas's future 1st instead.

    My biggest relief is that they are willing to take K-Mart. Whew.

    LOL, if we give up THAT much we're going to be such a crappy team with no shot at the championship that I'm probably just going to have to skip watching games and just check box scores next season until this fiasco blows over.

    Unbelievable. I'm going to hold out hope that Morey knows when he's being taken advantage of.

    If Dwight would sign the extension I wouldn't be tripping...but the fact that we don't know makes me nervous

    I can't disagree with that. But lets say the Magic demanded we give him up in a trade for Howard. Would he be a deal breaker like the majority of CFans are making him out to be?

    You mean 3 guys drafted 12, 16 and 18 all becoming perennial Allstars? What are the chances?

    Biggest knock on Murray is that he couldn't get a Super Star. I have no doubt if we have THE guy in place Morey could get the ancillary pieces to contend for a championship. The talent we had around an injured Yao and McGrady in '08 is a prime example (I know it was long ago). If Yao and Tmac could have been healthy it would have been marvelous.

    I'd rather go with the guys the Rockets followed :p

    Swapping teams? Doesn't sound like a good idea. Not even really about who we're giving up but what we'd be taking back (if this report is to be believed). Dwight is trying to leave those guys, that situation, not team up with them again, ha.

    Let's see what happens...

    This is a horrible trade proposal. We are basically being asked to give our entire roster & future drat picks for just 1 top 20 player while taking on the garbage contracts of other Orlando players. I don't care about trading players but 3 players that I want on the roster are D-Mo, Lamb, and Jones!!!
