    No I'm not Jake, but I like to scour the internet for talented reporters on the rise that no one knows. And I have no doubt I have found our next up and comer in Jake. Dude is very connected with Philly sports.

    I won't give you hell for being a disbeliever not as long as you have converted to the right path :grin:

    I'm most interested in the "Wild Card".

    That usually indicates either a team that's really good at not leaking, or a serious left field trade that nobody expects and re-arranges the landscape.

    This is going to be one heck of a 48 hours...

    Trust in Morey.

    My dark horse is Memphis dealing Zach Randolph. We get Randolph, Asik gots to a third team, third team sends pick to Memphis.

    But that's the point. **** the copy cats. Let the originators get the credit they deserve. He stole the Dwight will not re-sign with the Lakers tweet from the Lakers twitter 50 seconds after they posted it and claimed it as his own.

    Or its Morey's fake team he says exists for the sole purpose of driving up the asking price.

    So folks actually buy the mystery team?

    Seems like a (rather weak) attempt to pump up the market one final time to me. Like, really? A "wild card"? C'mon. Who besides the Rockets would leak this.

    Sounds like Woj is doing us a solid. I am ok with that.

    When I hear wildcard it to me sounds like a team none of us thought was ever in the mix. i.e. Memphis, Lakers, (dare I say) Heat...etc. My speculation though.

    Yeah. No doubt (in my mind) the Rockets are shaking the tree a bit here, announcing what they have and letting everyone know they're really, really, really going to do it here soon so better make your best offer now :)

    It could always be from Arn Tellem's camp, but this is how the trade game is played out these days ... using the media as a way of communicating to the league.

    A team with a weak offer that hopes to sneak in and pick up assets as a third team. Sounds a lot like what Morey used to do every deadline.

    I think Lin will be moved too if this was just strictly a asik trade would of been done by now I think we are shopping Lin too and that's what's causing all this madness if we trade both Lin and asik now whoever we get back will have more time to gel with the team then if it's done in February
