    Judging from Morey's trades in the past, I am more then sure he realizes how good a position he is in compared to other teams. ATL can take the bad contracts back as well but they are trying to rebuild, however they dont have the draft picks we do nor the young talent. LA all they have is Bynum and Bynum has said he doesn't want to be in Orlando. So that leaves us, be honest there really is no one else out there that can offer what we can & we all know this. So I know Morey has to know this.


    Take back one, MAYBE TWO, of those bad contracts, give them some of those good first round picks, and let them choose between Terrance Jones or Royce White, NO JEREMY LAMB especially since they would already be getting K-Mart. Hell you could even add in the Morris kid for good measure or P-Pat. To me that is more then enough for Orlando.


    Getting cap relief, some good 1st round draft picks, & decent talent with upside

    I'll bet anyone...

    3 team trade. LA's got no assets and ORL is scared of Bynum.

    This is agonizing. I know I'm a gun shy Houston fan but I just feel like we're about to lose out again. :confused:

    Yeah, I'm not a fan . I've only followed them for 42 years, probably longer than you've been on the planet.

    What a buzzkill if after everything the Rockets do to make a trade work he gets sent to LA.

    If Dwight DOES go to LA, Bynum is coming here...That's it.

    Howard is such freaking tease, I stopped wanting him weeks ago.

    Especially if we have to give up ALL three rookies, Morris and Parsons in addition to draft picks. I say let Orlando and Howard suffer together for the final year.

    I'm fine with any of the three options (young+rebuild, take a swing at dwight, facilitate for bynum) so I don't particularly care about the outcome... but I really don't see how a 1 on 1 trade with LA would work. LA couldn't absorb many bad contracts and the Magic would be the same team with no extra picks and no young prospects + a worse center.
