    i think it's a good thing he wants to get the best deal for Orlando and he is in his right to take his time. But he is not fooling anyone. He knows it and the fans know it that houston has what they want. the only ones that don't know are BSPN and the rest of those tools.

    I was never in that camp, thats just another case of rockets fans overrating a player because we love how "hard" he plays. Chuck was a good player but not worth what sac gave him. Anyways thats not the point, none of these players have played together. So naturally they're going to go through difficult stretches just based off of a lack of chemistry alone(if it happen to miami it will happen to this group). Besides interior defense I don't see any area we will be better, not to mention the fact that martin/lin will be a HORRIBLE combination defensively. These moves were for the future and I'm fine with that. I think eventually asik and lin will be two above average player on a good team. But as far as the short term is concerned, this team is not better. What we lost in experience alone says we won't be better. So I ask you the same question of been asking, name the teams in the west our roster is better than ON PAPER....

    Rudolph is a clown. For anyone who doesn't remember, he's the one who arrogantly stood his ground and insisted, all the way up until 3 p.m. on July 11, that the Dwight-to-Brooklyn deal was done and inevitable. He's basically a mouthpiece for Dwight/Fegan, who would be thrilled by any deal that potentially gets him to LA.

    I don't think Dwight's camp was the source of this particular story, but I think they're more than happy to go along with it, considering the end result.

    If this happens we can finally put all the Dwight rumors to end and start getting attached to our rookies. This would be good.

    Haven't really read beyond post #1 but I call bull as there was a hand shake agreement between Nash and the Lakers. The agreement stipulated that they would trade Gasol as long as he was in the team. Of course, Nash could change his mind and welcome Dwight. But I really think this is a lot of hot air...

    Can we please put this guy in the same box as Poopsworld?? He has NO sources, and just spouts off whatever Dwight wants him to. What a hack.

    The Rockets should jump in and try to outbid Phillie for Bynum.

    Screw that. Don't want his semi arthritic knees. It's Howard or nothing at all. Keep the rookies

    You realize that means he does have a source, albeit a very, very biased one?

    Exactly. Howard is the only thing worth giving up at this point for our rookies. Personally, if Howard gets traded I'm happy that we can get attached to them as players. Otherwise, it's a holding pattern wondering if they'll be gone come the season and if one turns out to be a star we'll be all over Shane/Rudy stuff again.

    know that all details haven't comeout yet, but i'm sure Martin,Patterson, Morris and picks can trump anything Phillie has.

    AlexKennedyNBA: Source confirms that ORL, LAL, PHI and DEN have discussed four-team deal. However, source warns it's "one of several deals being discussed."
