    Thanks!! Now is it true Dwight won't be ready to go until Jan. 15??? If it's coming from Ric Bucher that means it bull$&:? Can anyone confirm?

    Yeah. I think my earlier posts on this are going to end up being right. We won't give up as much as people think and we won't take back as much as people think.

    Don't be surprised if we only take back JRich and Davis.

    Thanks. I was not aware of that. This makes sense now with the many of the timelines saying that this should take about a week to happen.

    The Knicks will match. It doesn't really affect a potential Howard trade.

    I thought the Rockets could extend both offers at the same time -- no?

    Since when have you had a valid point to bash him and say wrong things? And how is that even my argument? :confused: Your interpretation is comical.

    I know, right? I've said it about 16 times in 16 different ways and the idiots on CF still keep coming in here panicking and making stupid assumptions.

    No, he's obviously saying that we're keeping all the young players.

    Really, I'm not sure. Feigen said after Lin, they'll do Asik, so one after another.

    See UTAllTheWay's post above, he may be right in what he said.

    Agree. I think some folks just hit "last page" and freak out.

    Hard to read through 77 pages sometimes, an update to the thread would probably calm some of these folks.

    Well, after reading this post, I feel much better for this trade. I heard on the radio that Les was willing to spend more money if we can get Howard, which would be cool.

    the valid argument is...he called it exactly like it was SUPPOSED TO GO DOWN!!!!

    it fell through because of Thomas Robinson unpredictably falling. Called the names we were going after ... he did a great job actually...if you go back and look at what he said we would offer ( or what we decoded)

    its basically the same thing we are offering now

    Not to sound like a smartass here, I say this with all due respect LabMouse, but if you were Les, and knew that it was just a matter of time til we got a top 5 player (#1 center) in the league, wouldn't you spend more too, even if you were the most conservative person in the world, when it come to spending money on your team?

    Although I did not hear the radio interview with Les, I too read this same article the one you commented on, and it made me feel better and I took a big sigh of relief.

    With that being said, maybe it wasn't so much the players that played with Dwight Howard in Orlando, but the organization itself that he didn't like, hence not wanting to patch things up in Orlando? Just a thought... (I also do realize that Howard was also waiting for a star or two to join him in Orlando, but it never came, and I guess he grew impatient with the Orlando Magic...)

    If you've said it 16 times in 16 different ways, then I think it's time to just stop. If people want to panic and make assumptions, then let them. What are you accomplishing? You are as bad as the people you are complaining about.

    If I educate 1 person each time maybe it will die down a little? (Yeah right. You're probably correct.)
