    I will only settle for Bynum if we have no other choice... Just like the reports were false yesterday of Lakers meeting Magic officials in Orlando, I think this is fake too.

    Bring on Dwight Howard to Rockets! Him saying that he wouldn't want to play with Linsanity is odd. He'll be a hit alongside Lin internationally... :rolleyes:

    Martin is the key piece in our deal who is also an expiring contract next season.

    Martin is a better piece than Varejao despite all the hate for him on ClutchFans. He is a proven scorer in his late 20s who is also a big expiring contract. They can get a lot for him at the trade deadline if he plays well in the 1st half.

    Hennigan would rather take the cavs deal of Varejao and the draft picks. Their picks will be MUCH higher than ours, unless their rookies completely own and they reach the playoffs.

    Yes I know but Martin is not exactly a guy the Magic covet, Varejoa is.

    @TonyMejiaNBA

    This Howard news affects ‪#Rockets‬ pursuit by solidifying Bynum as someone they can flip a DH rental for by deadline.‪#Magic‬ seek "best deal."

    Houston vs Cleveland

    NO THEY WOULD NOT.

    Why do people keep saying this? Don't you understand that Andrew Bynum would be going to a team with Kyrie Irving? They would be a playoff team in the East, easily. Irving is going to get so much better in his 2nd year and Bynum is an all star caliber player.

    It's more fun if you paint the lines on the table, the balls, the rims of the paddles, and the outline of the net with blacklight paint, and have a couple of 4 foot blacklight tubes hanging from the ceiling. Then play. Morey should check it out.

    LOL. Like how they covet Brook Lopez? Hahah, GTFO, Varejao is a nice hustle defensive guy, but he's nothing the Magic would 'covet'.

    You'd let Cleveland take Bynum for Varejao, a few draft picks...and MAYBE Thompson?

    Bynum is the "second best center in the league"..to some..to me he right now is the best center..and should be the prize not howard..plus bynum has better post game and just a better offensive player than howard..AND bynum is WILLING TO SIGN here...why gut the team on a chance for a howard rental...

    Orlando isn't going to be willing to accept less just because LA is getting Howard. They would still want the same deal most likely involving Lamb.

    I couldn't agree with you more here. Lakers already have Bynum/Gasol/Jamison/Nash/Bryant. Let someone else better their team... Y'all do NOT need an upgrade you whinny/stubborn Laker babies! :mad:
