    You do realize all they did was try to create space for Dwight right?

    This statement should pretty much end discussions on where Howard should go.

    Plain and simple, Houston is the best place that has cap space without moving essential pieces + a situation where players are poised to contend.

    Dallas has Dirk. We have Harden. Dallas has an unreliable volume shooter in Mayo and an aging Carter. We have an a blossoming young star in Parsons and a young overall core.

    Gotta go with Houston.

    You don't think maybe Dan Fegan leaked "...with Dallas slightly in the lead" to Broussard in order to placate Mark Cuban, with whom he has a buddy-buddy relationship?

    Take it easy. If we didn't trade tonight, it's because there's something else going on, to happen later.

    Well the Blonde did do something though, but over time; so she doesn't have to work as much now.. Just a couple lunges here in there to tighten up.. This b**** ain't lazy; she still wants to do something.. see workin smarter not harder since she only got a couple vanity pounds to lose.

    we still talking about the Rockets right?

    Morey: "Isaiah will be 3rd PG, somewhat ready to play but will probably spend time with RGV at first like all our picks usually do.

    Elite shooter, can fill it up efficiently."

    And how does that put them ahead of the Rockets? All they have to do is wait till July 10th to just get rid of Robinson and they will have the salary for him.

    "We think we are going to be very move constrained in the near future, so guys on 2nd round deals that can contribute now are needed"

    Dirk is still a great player at 35. It's not like he has to rely on athleticism, a la Stoudemire or Griffin. I guarantee you Stoudemire isn't going to look good at 35.

    The only thing that should be appealing to Dwight about Dallas is Dirk, and the fact you'll never be compared to past centers, such as Yao, Hakeem, etc.

    Unappealing things far outnumber appealing things, though. Dallas is old. Dallas went from champions to not even in the playoffs in a short span of time. Dirk is still great, but isn't getting any younger. Dallas just drafted a bunch of young guys, so it feels as though they're trying to rebuild, rather than reload.

    A lot of psychological factors should also come into play, especially for someone who has personality of Dwight Howard. It's not always just about the money and the ability to contend.

    Morey: We are about to.... We think we are about to be a little bit constrained in terms of room to make moves (money wise).

    I think he just let it slip.

    Lin stays until he goes. Same as every player with Morey.

    Morey isn't going to alienate Lin until there's a concrete deal in place.
