    Jennings and Ily have been on Rox radar per Cod and Cyber old posts.

    Rox were also talking to ORL about howard but didn't want to take on Harris' contract.

    Could Jennings and Ily be on their way to Hou in another deal?

    Now Detroit should try to trade for a backup pg. Perhaps Chicago will dump Brooks to them or Hinrich to get out of the tax or smth.

    It's not Dwight's fault the Rockets wasted $12 million rehiring McHale, who was not allowed to coach the Red Aurbach way because of Harden's demands and Morey Ball. The only way to truly fix this broken team is for Bickerstaff to step down and they get a guy like Thibs.. Will requiring spending a bit of money but Les won't.

    They must really believe in Henson. I thought Monroe was the "Missing Piece"

    Malakas' seat just got all moist. Might be getting her wish.

    News on the Rockets? Quiet as a mouse fart. Bucks? Active so far.

    :rolleyes: For that crap trade? That makes no sense?
    I rather 100% keep Monroe over the no defence corpse of Rhyno who is going to leave in a few months AND take shots away from Jabari.

    Anyway this rumour is bull.

    We are now able to sort of piece together some things we've heard both on this site from Cyberx days ago, and now what just happened with ORL/DET.

    -Keep in mind that days ago Cyberx said that Fegan/Dwight expressed interest to go back to Orlando but Houston wanted nothing to do with the Tobias Harris contract.... hmm... I find it very strange that this was the one player that was mentioned by Cyberx, and low and behold days later that's the one player that is moved to another team.

    -Then there is the fact that this deal happened 2 days before the deadline. So why not wait?

    -Then there is the fact that these two players going back to Orlando are both expirings, and both players are probably unlikely to resign in Orlando. (Jennings will likely seek a starting role, & Ilyasova will likely search a contender).

    .........

    So its still early and we still really don't know if its Dwight they are targeting (could be Horford at the same time among other players), but everything kind of makes sense for a Dwight deal back to Orlando. Orlando gets their best player in Magic history (believe it or not this is actually true), and with a free agency acquisition along with Dwight's bird rights they can maybe be a playoff team in the East next year.

    Either way it definitely looks like Orlando is a player to make a big splash in the next 48 hours, and Dwight is a major target.

    If the Rockets were trading with Orlando, would they get Vucevic back or would he likely go to a third team??... That's the big question in a Dwight deal right now to me.
