Dwight update: Not close to a trade with Rockets

And this is why the ESPN report from RealGM is so crap.

Orlando still is in the driver's seat here. They control Dwight's destiny and you are insane if you think they would accept Anderson freaking Varejao and a few picks when they could get a full rebuild package from Houston.

What we know -

A 2 way deal between LA and Orlando is next to impossible because LA has nothing outside of Bynum to use.

Bynum doesn't seem interested in signing an extension in Orlando so that is that.

Houston is still the best option for Orlando. If Orlando wants somebody to take on contracts while at the same time giving them draft picks and young talent, there is no other option as attractive as Houston.

In that sense, Houston almost has to be involved in any trade Orlando does, whether it nets us Dwight or nets us another piece in a 3 way deal, from a common sense standpoint... Orlando is basically going to have to involve Houston if they want to maximize their value for Dwight.

 

I think Dwight sees the writing on the wall and leaked it "ok I'll go to la, just don't send me to Houston please"

 

Full of Shih Tzu's

Bull*****

 

I honestly wouldn't be stunned to see this happen. For all we know Morey isn't really offering what people here seem to think he is offering.

 

I'm assuming these are the same sources who said Dwight to Brooklyn was a done deal?

 

Plus, Morey probably isn't big on giving up a lot and getting Bynum instead of Howard.

 

Amico is a clown. He's pushed every bull**** Cavs rumor along (Humphries in 3-way, then Bynum on Saturday) until a real reporter comes along and swats it down.

 

Lol these guys are just playing around

 

this is Cleveland guy. At least his sources are

#Dwightmare finally been advanced legitimately since LAL-CLE-ORL 3-way been overblown. Story coming on why #Rockets deal even more likely.

"@hoopscritic: Unless ORL warms to Bynum, HOU will most likely be involved as a 3rd team" Bynum has to warm, too. Neither has much interest.

Cavs, Lakers, Magic have framework of deal in place, source says. Dwight Howard to Lakers, Andrew Bynum to Cavs is "closer."

Sam Amico ‏@SamAmicoFSO
Before we all get too excited, I've been told by Lakers official previous tweet not accurate. "No deal is imminent."

 

LOL. Previous tweet not accurate. That didn't take long.

 

LMFAO this guy is making a clown out of himself.

 

sam amico pulls things out of the sky

yeah, im sure a laker offical is following along with your tweets

 

Cleveland literally has nothing to offer.

They won't move Irving or Waiters.

TT sucks and any future picks won't be very good.

 

not really, more of a lying attention w****. Got to get those followers/ journalism is dead - just throwing **** at the wall and hoping something sticks.

 

Just a bunch of hot air coming out your mouth
