    Dwightmare is the product of the media. Everything is speculation.

    We traded our face of the franchise away for pennies, and Carl is out to shake foundations and right wrongs until those responsible for the greatest management bungle in franchise history are tried, sentenced and executed for their crimes.

    I agree, but does Pop want him?

    Interesting... Broussard incorrect again with his "multiple sources"

    Assuming he wants a pass first point guard who will look to him more than for their own shot, who fits the bill more than Lin? Even the LOH's have to agree on that.

    Or Bucher could be wrong. Who knows? All this stuff is gossip right now unless it actually happens. Doesn't mean that a reporter is lying. Things change all the time and even serious reporters like Wojnarowski and Stein get things wrong sometimes, or they report on potential moves and thinking by teams and players that don't come to pass.

    ... and Harden would seem to be the best passing SG in the league. Who is better?

    Basically if Dallas makes that trade they won't have the cap space to sign Howard...

    Boston would want more than just taking back bad contracts. But even if the Mavs took back those bad contracts, then that would zap their cap space for Dwight. They just don't have the assets compared to what other teams around the league would offer for Rondo.

    The Spurs are good, made the finals with that team. The Mavericks? They suck.

    Why would Boston want Dirk right after selling off their entire team? That doesn't even make sense. A team of Dirk and nobody else is sure going places!

    I don't see anything happening between Dallas/Boston.

    This DH situation reminds me of that girl you get with because you have these fantasies about how great everything will be after you help her make just a few small changes in her personality... cuz you're thinking with your ****... and then you get with her and it's an absolute freaking nightmare.

    If you want Dwight, love the Dwightmare, not the fantasy of how the Rox will change things for him...

    But only if we can pick up Dwight Howard, Josh Smith and Tony Allen in free agency. We're trying a radical new system in which nobody can shoot.

    Danny Ainge owes McHale for the Garnett trade back in '07. We should be able to get Rondo for just Asik or..
