Exactly! The idea of making trades starts with the proposition that everybody wins. Not that one team wins at the expense of the others....
Dear Gorp Pumping Dweeb, if you're anything close to a typical Rockets fan, then I'd sooner stick pins in my eyes then play in Houston next year.
How does the pressure on Morey to reduce his roster impose more pressure on Hennigan to move Howard? If Hennigan isn't satisfied with the offer...
How does anyone know what the Orlando GM is thinking? It's just as possible that he makes this easy and exchanges centers with the Lakers....
In two years, three at most the Lakers are going to have to blow it up and start over. Kobe, Gasol, Nash, Artest, it's an aging, very...
Well if that matter-of-fact then give me a for instance when it's happened before.
Chris Webber had three years and $62 million left on his contract with Sacramento when he was traded to Philly in February 2005. Not even close...
I'll accept David Aldridge's comment "a source with knowledge of Howard’s thinking said Monday that there was “not a chance” Howard would be...

There's nothing wrong with playing in Houston. It's a great sports town. If Howard was okay with it, Terrific! Otherwise it's an unprecedented,...
That's not a choice. Dwight has already said neither of those are sufficient. Dwight's agent will say, "Do as you will then and ship Dwight...
I think you're very much mistaken. This is the first real go 'round since the new CBA which was a bitterly negotiated arrangement. Both...
I think you're underestimating Orlando's GM having a desire to create a soft landing for Howard if he can. It's bad business to exile a superstar...
The problem with this entire line of thinking is that acquiring a player through a trade when he has made it clear that he is NOT THE LEAST BIT...
I think your logic is flawed. Morey would NOT offer an arm and a leg for a player rehabbing from back surgery with one year of contract left...
You're missing it! Orlando wants to leverage Houston against another bidder with same or similar assets to get the most out of the deal....
