    Now that Howard is going to LA does this mean that the guys over at clutch fans will kill themselves?

    "We're the only suitors for Dwight! No one else is offering anything! If Morey give the Magic more than KMart, PPat and Morris he should be fired!!!"

    Why does everybody hate Morey? I wonder if it has anything to do with the handling of T-Mac or Adelman. It's like everybody is against him.

    It's an ugly trade. Having said that:

    Myopia

    ClutchFans BBS HAZ IT

    The shock that a team like Orlando would trade away a star for what seemingly amounts to nothing considering what they have done historically...

    The absolute unwillingness to believe the Rockets wouldn't SOMEHOW be involved...

    The moment-to-moment changes in how good or bad the rookies will be based on some summer league games...

    It makes me pine for the days before news traveled at the speed of Twitter and fans didn't believe that winning their fantasy league made them legitimate GM material.

    I guess I never really have seen Philly as a huge basketball mecca. At least not since the AI days, or even since Dr. J.

    Who would be the second best player on the team?

    Understandable if its near home. Still, have to cling to some thread of hope he'd consider leaving for us.

    Houston has to be absolutely devastated. What do they do now to even out their roster?

    More reputable than ESPN

    Also note Woj said "finalizing", not "done deal"

    This reported deal is absolute garbage for Orlando. It's because of this fact that in the back of my mind I'm desperately clinging to hope that Henny is only telling Morey it's now or never to pull the trigger.

    Finally some good happens. I just hope this team doesn't over achieve and ends up outside of the top 3 picks. Hope the same thing for Toronto. Just think of the glee on here if the Rockets end up with 2 Top 5 picks in the draft.
