    Lock this garbage up.

    It went from a season ticket holder event to a game last week is where he got the scoop.

    Bottomline, I'd trust Woj, who broke the Yao Ming being out for the year, than this no-name person who convienently say we're 'probably' going to get Butler, when, it was reported earlier today that we've had 3 way talks.

    like I said, revisit the Iverson-Billups trade where Mcdyess was involved and bought out, and re-signed by Detroit 30 days later.

    and there is absolutely no way that trade with the Knicks is happening, it's being reported by Adrian Wojaijfdasgbhivhanorski. the same guy who said that Varejao to Miami for Marion was happening last season, and no talks were ever even present.

    Cmon Jose. You're posting with some force and authority here.

    I'd like to know more about this area where you learned this info.

    No, it's tampering when a member in an organization talks about acquiring a player under contract on another team. They are only allowed to talk about trades after the league approves the trade.

    Hey guys, I'm a season ticket holder and I went with an event with other season ticket holders. I met a source inside the Rockets that said the Heat have resigned to the fact that Dwyane Wade will not be staying and are looking for cap space to sign someone else in the off-season. He/she said that the Rockets are in play with McGrady's expiring contract, but the Heat want Aaron Brooks and Chase Budinger involved, too.

    Anyway, nothing's guaranteed, and GM's do often change their minds (especially Morey, according to my inside source!), but unless LeBron James is available, it appears Wade will be in a Rockets uniform within 8 days.

    So basically, Washington says to themselves, even though we hate you, we'll send Jamison your guys' way so maybe you guys can win a championship this year.

    Cleveland says thanks for Jamison, but, while nice, we don't trust you in trading Big Z because you guys might not buy him out. So, we need Houston in the mix.

    Lol

    I don't see why we wouldn't. If I'm not mistaken, buying him out gets us under the LT line without having to give up assets or pay someone to take Cook off our hands. Besides, even if he is productive, squeaking into the playoffs as an 8 seed and getting blown out by the Lakers doesn't really help us.

    As far as Washington holding out for Cleveland's assets for Jamison, I completely agree.

    I already told you, I think it was called a "party suite". I don't want to say anything with certainty because I don't pay attention to little things, so if I happen to be wrong about a certian detail you might go 'THAT'S WRONG THIS GUY IS LYING'.

    i'm not and I just wanted to let everyone know that this no where near being guaranteed, but Morey is very active in trade talks, he's on the phone constantly.

    you aren't helping your cause by making a thread. You should have just put in the trade thread.

    I'm not anywhere near an "insider", I just happened to be at the right place at the right time to hear that, they were reluctant from saying, but the person said "It'll be on the news soon anyway".

    Oh, the "party suite".

    Clutchfans, this is legit. This three way deal is a lock. The Wizards are going to screw themselves and help the Cavaliers to win a title. I'm glad it's all clear now. It was a "party suite."

    Sticky this thread. It's gold.

    He's talking about the Iron Fan recognition suite night for selected accounts with perfect attendance in January...

    Never has an assistant gm shown up in there. It's ran by service executives and promotions staff............
