Dwight update: Not close to a trade with Rockets

Ooooh

 

Im starting to like Mejia because he has good sources. He doesn't just pickup stuff from poopsworld etc. and make up fake sources.

 

Insiders ****ting all over ESPN's hype machine.

 

Fuking realgm

 

Exactly. Someone with ACTUAL SOURCES.

 

I'm okay with parting with:

Terrence Jones
Kevin Martin (exp contract)
TOR Lottery Pick
2014 1st Round Pick
2015 1st Round Pick
Chandler Parsons
Patrick Patterson

I'm even okay with taking on the contracts of Chris Duhon, Richardson and Turkoglu.


I am, however, not okay with parting with:

Jeremy Lamb
Royce White

 

I think it will turn out to be lucky for us that Jones "outplayed" White in the summer league.

 

I'm like all of you, tired of hearing about dwight and I'm in love with our rookies. A few weeks ago I wanted Dwight in the worst way but now to hell with him. Just make them one offer Martin, Patterson, Morris, and Parsons with fillers (Douglas, Brockman,Forbes) in order to make salaries work if we take one bad contract player with whatever future picks they want and thats it (no rookies because they waited too long). If They refuse we might not win a championship this year with or without him so what, we will be the youngest team and have all kinds of hope for the future with all kinds of cap room to sign free agents that can be better fits with our LeBron (Rolls Royce)

 

yet tony mejia retweeted broussard this morning saying dwight to LA was in the works. he doesnt kno anything more than anyone else

 

lollll

 

i hate summer league

 

That's awesome.

I would like to see some photochop work of Dwight's cast of super friends.

Wonder Twin Powers, Activate!

 

Mejia is probably one of the few people who has legitimate sources. ESPN will continue to jump on anything that involves traction on the Dwight to LA bandwagon because it will generate clicks. Then again, it is possible Mejia didn't know the report ESPN was referencing was coming from the gloriously connected insiders at RealGM and assumed maybe ESPN had an actual credible source reporting on this. He should know better you'd think.

A retweet isn't an automatic endorsement. If anything, he's highlighting that report for context on his upcoming article.

 

LOL I crack up everytime I see this.

 

For me, the only untouchables are Lamb and Moti... with Parsons not far behind. But I don`t want to give up two out of White, Jones, Parsons.

So make it:

Martin
Jones
Morris
PPat
TOR Lottery Pick
2014 1st Round Pick
2015 1st Round Pick

and take back 2 bad contracts. That way we should have:

Lin / Machado
Lee / Lamb
Parsons / White
Moti / White
Howard / Asik (?)

We can either develope the core or try hard to get a player that deserves the max at SF and be a contender right away. With Howard in play, we`d have our first and 3d (Lin) necessary pieces and just need to add this second piece... but who knows, perhaps Lamb or White can develope into that 2nd piece.

 

Why do people not understand the concept of PROTECTED picks? Would we really give them unprotected picks when we risk losing him after 1 season?

 

No. Mejia retweeted Broussard saying Dwight was willing to sign long-term in LA. Factually, there's nothing wrong with that. There is an ENORMOUS DIFFERENCE, however, between that and saying Dwight-to-LA is in the works.

The problem with guys like Broussard and Rudolph is they refuse to see things from both sides. They take the talking points from Dwight's agent and mislead viewers into thinking that's the complete picture. In reality, it's only a small part of it. It also matters what Orlando wants. Mejia gets it and incorporates that in his reporting; the other guys don't. That's the difference.

 

protection don't last forever, and if Dwight boots, this team would suck for the foreseeable future.
