    So in other words Calderon is going to be inbounding the ball to Harden?:grin:

    Why on earth, would you take a productive 33 year old big man and give him away for NO ASSETS on top of losing Howard. They can get teams to create a bidding war for Pau at the deadline, easily. Big men like Gasol don't grow on trees. They can't amnesty Bogut either since they just traded for him, and amnestying Metta only has a marginal effect.

    They would be morons to amnesty a 7 footer with the talent of Gasol.

    Some y'all need to chill the eff out. Some "source" cites an option and you guys run with it. Espn is definitely writing stories. It's what they do. Slow news day. Geez.

    I'm going to sleep. Y'all stay up and stress.

    WE don't need to S&T with the Lakers if Dwight wants to come here!

    We did just give up T-Rob to get enough cap-space to sign Dwight...

    Those Warriors contracts does not look easy to unload onto another team...

    Calderon is one of the best 3 point shooters ever, and he is a very good passer.

    West coast bias makes me wanna puke...

    All of a sudden GS has deals in place to trade two of the most unwanted players in the league!? Who in their right mind would want to take Biedrins/Jefferson JUST TO HELP the Warriars get DH!? Plus, if someone wanted these guys, why hasn't GS traded them yet?

    again....there is no shoot and trade with LA. We can buy Howard and give him Htown BBQ. We don't need anything from LA other than D12.

    Its pretty evident if Lakers are considering sign and trades because of the GSW talk recent and not because of lin and asik because they might just get draft picks or an expiring contract that will come off the books. Dwight must have given GSW some sort of indication in their meeting or afterwards. Because rockets didn't go into their meeting with the desperation of sign and trade at the table they could sign him outright. GSW have to do some sort of a sign in trade or off load those contracts to other teams.

    Who would take Biedrens for 9 mil though smh?

    i know they can just outright sign dwight , but he's indicated he wants josh smith with him, so maybe he only signs with them under those circumstances.
    it would definetely require a third team. the lakers are adamant they dont want any more salary after 2014. im just not sure what asik and lin could fetch

    I agree. We are talking over $34 million spread between these three players.

    Why would the rockets do a sign and trade with lin and asik when we could sign howard? I dont thing that report is true either. Keeping lin and trading omer for smith is a much better solution.

    Waking up and refreshing Woj's twitter page to cut out all the bs. Hopefully there's an update in the morning.

    Same could be said for Warriors. Would Howard want the Warriors if it means giving up Thompson AND/or Barnes?

    Bogut would probably be easy to dump.

    Jefferson/Biedrins? No way.
