    As ESPN reported, source with knowledge of the four-team Dwight Howard talks confirms that there is likely to be a trade call in the morning for deal that would send Dwight Howard to the Lakers (though it was said that no time was yet established for the call). Specifics fuzzy on my end in Orlando/Philadelphia/Lakers/Denver deal, but I've been assured that Lakers forward Pau Gasol is not in the deal. Source cautions that someone could wake up on the wrong side of the bed in the morning and the whole thing could go South, but this is very real.

    guess morey will realize taking on garbage players and unguarenteed contracts to flip for allstar players is a thing of the past. He needs to change his management style because to get the players you already need to have attractive team. All these second round picks and unguarenteed contracts seem to mean nothing to orlando

    Still think you and jopatmc are whistling Dixie past the graveyard. This deal sounds far along. But who knows? You might be right.

    Don't fall for it, Morey!

    So, is this Moe Harkless kid something special? I had thought he was a Trevor Ariza- type.

    Michael Dugat: From what I've seen so far, Magic are getting bent over the side of someone's couch -to put it nicely. No unprotected picks. No real talent now

    Obviously it's part of the process, I'm saying that the fact the the actual league office call is in a report makes it seem like Henny is pulling a "We're really gonna do it Morey, here we go! Last chance!" Usually deals are agreed upon, it's reported, and then that's all she wrote.

    Anyone else watching the Packers-Chargers game right now?

    They just flashed the ticker saying it's pending league approval.
