    Dallas just traded pick - bye Dwight. Lin is staying, Parsons too. But maybe they'll be pissed now.

    ^lol, what? Dallas trading their pick for second rounders means they're landing Dwight?

    Howard is a ****ing idiot if he goes to an inferior city and an inferior basketball situation.

    Good question. There's actually not much outside financial benefits as almost all of that gets shared.

    The upside has to be his basketball skills.

    No. Just like us, they need to free cap room to make a run at Dwight.

    Remember, draft picks are a lottery. Most of the players at this stage will be 2nd stringers, 3rd stringers at best but most likely busts.

    Let's stop kidding ourselves. Lin is close to untradeable.

    Dallas saved a whopping $250K with that move. That ain't gonna get it.
