    Doc is either trying to troll us to epic proportions, or he actually knows something, rather than "hearing" something.

    Assumptions will get ya one way or another. If someone was to get hurt, or the chemistry didn't work....who knows. Besides, this is a deep draft next year. #1s are in short supply and highly valuable.

    And again...all Orlando is giving up is a trade exception that turns into cap space next July while picking up serviceable players in the meantime.

    It's now midnight in Colorado. Nothing is happening tonight. Maybe we find out tomorrow mid morning. Good night CF.

    I hate to say this but..it sounds like Dwight will settle for Houston but his #1 choice right now is: Golden State and he is delaying and stalling to give them a chance to sort it out (trade wise)

    If I remember correctly there were rumors that we were trying to trade for him right before the lockout. Glad that didn't happen

    If we don't get Dwight we can always wait until next season for LeBron.

    That's what I've been saying. The writing is on the wall.

    You people want to know something crazy??

    The rockets part of the forum has had 3,507,000 total posts in 13+ years. That means about 1/350th of the posts are in this thread alone in what 4 days. Crazy statistic there.

    T-MAC had a ridiculous adidas contract when he played for us. We still have a huge following in China, so I don't think SF or Oakland (wherever the hell Golden State's in) have that advantage over us.

    I've always felt the Houston is an adidas city. Is there even a Nike store in town? So if adidas have any weight in Dwight's decision, they would rank us second after LA (LA is definitely a larger market than us).

    Dwight is probably sleeping.
    Did you seriously think he was going to wait until the first minute of the day of and say something? LOL.

    Can't see Lebron going anywhere next year as long as Pat Riley is the GM. Even if they struggle...Pat will sell him on a rebuild plan and come on....Lebron isn't leaving south beach.

    Nothing is happening this morning. Nothing will happen later today. Then he'll take the weekend off to "think some more". This will drag into next week.

    Delaying and stalling?

    He said by Friday.

    It is literally 10 minutes into Friday. There is still 23 hours and 50 minutes left.

    First, we have to assume LAL would move Pau for nearly nothing or amnesty him IF they let Dwight walk for free. I don't think they would. They'd amnesty Metta instead imo.

    Second, you honestly think LAL cares about money that isn't even getting INTO luxury tax territory? Heck, they might otherwise be paying it ANYWAYS if they kept Pau. These are the Lakers we're talking about. Money that isn't even in the luxury tax...I don't really see them caring that much about it.

    I just don't really believe they plan on amnestying Pau Gasol even if Dwight walks for free, making much of your point moot.

    Once the name b****, being the name chosen, be conferred upon Kobe, then shoutest thou "b****" in the direction of Kobe, who, being a b****, shall b****.

    I'm sure part of him gets pleasure from reading all the internet rumors and seeing teams fight over him. It's nice to be wanted.
