    Dwight likes Mchale. He can opt out in 2 years. Only 2 years.

    Mchale will surely be gone if we don't make the WCF next season.

    No doubt.

    I honestly don't see what the big deal is; NBA GMs must play favorites all the time. It's not like Hinkie has been getting trade raped by us! We had to give up some promising talent to unload the original twitter fiend

    Ugh, I'm gonna throw up. Actually if LBJ and Melo go to the Lakers, it will at least make them easy to hate again. If the Rockets can come out of this with Love or Bosh at this point, then I'll be happy. If we end up with blue balls and those two go to the Lakers, then it's going to be a real kick in the junk.

    For real, the lowest number of users I've ever seen was something like 500. Most of those were "guests", but it's still interesting.

    Also regarding "guests", why don't you guys become members? I can't fathom reading some of the nonsense on this board without having the ability to fight back.

    Please remember that wherever cyber works or his source works, they are heavily influenced by the media.

    Media reports Dwight is leaning towards staying so does cyber.
    Media reports Dwight intrigued by golden state, cyber has all the info abou Dwight being in love with gs.

    Media reports this lakers theory and here is cyber to reinforce the lakers theory.

    Cybers source or place of work is heavy lakers bias. Just keep that in mind.

    If Lebron and Melo team up it will be in Miami...also, if Melo were to consider teaming up in LA at that big of a discount for the redundancy that would be a kobe, Melo, Lebron combination, then surely teaming up with Harden and Dwight for a much smaller discount would seem like an extraordinary option. And I'll even go out on a limb and say the same goes for Lebron.

    Look at Lamar Odom! He got the fattest Kardashian, a ticket to Dallas and a padded cell.

    Can't see Lebron teaming up with Melo/Kobe/Pau in LA. I expect Melo knows this. They'd be good, but in the west, how good? If they do team up, I hope we end up with Bosh. Doubt he'd stay with Miami then. And if Melo ends up in LA by himself, you throw the house at Love knowing 1 of his major FA suitors would be out.

    If Lebron & Melo end up in LA, Les needs to bribe the league to reposition Houston to the East. Goodness they'd be awful.

    He's from Vancouver on the other side of the country and they just gave big $$$ to Lowry.

    But yeah I'm sure they'd do this because Canada.

    Melo's team is using the Lakers angle to lure NY into sign and trade talks with the Bulls. See Bimathug tweets. Lakers are the perfect foil, Phil would do anything to block Buss. Rockets still have longshot chance if Phil holds firm on not taking back Boozer, as the Rockets have better trade assets and can construct a trade sending no salary back to NY. But would Melo take four year max from Rockets over $129 million from NY and a shot at LeBron to NY next year? I doubt it.

    Let me see...Lowry at 12 million plus Nash at 9 million...oh, and I believe I have seen reports that Toronto was close on a Vasquez deal (?)...I am sure Toronto Is all over paying 20 plus million to the PG position. I know he was just throwing an idea out there because it was asked who would swallow that Nash contract...but anyone else saying something like that on this board would get FLAMED!!!! What do you even attach to a contract like Nash???

    I'm guessing his sources are the same as the media's source, which are primarily agents. We just hear it from him before the media prints it. So the info he gets probably already has built in spin.

    And just like the media, cyber couldn't break Dwight picking Houston, the Asik trade, etc.

    The rockets dont leak to the media. The media only gets what the rockets want them to have.

    I don't think we should hamper our future plans for Carmelo Anthony. There are better options now, and there should be better options next year.

    Only realistic way Nash is traded is if Randle is attached. Obviously something of value would need to go back to LA, but maybe just a future first rounder/nice young player. Toronto did this with Atlanta, wouldn't be surprised to see them do same for LA. Lowry/Ross/Derozan/Randle/Jonas has the potential to be a scary team.
