    Any other team aside from Orlando we can trade with to pry Andrew Bynum off?

    Evan Dunlap: Jerry Stackhouse in the building. He's reportedly gonna sign with Brooklyn for the minimum. 1 minute ago

    LMAO, seems as if the Nets have moved on.

    There are 3 players I don't want the Rockets to give up, AT ALL:

    Donatas Motiejunas
    Royce White
    Chandler Parsons

    ...maybe keep the rights to Sergio Llull too.

    Daryl 'The Mongoose' Morey doesn't make empty threats.

    First time you don't back up your threat, all your threats stop having any meaning to anybody. If the Rockets were to threaten that, they would need to MEAN IT and go through with it.

    I see all the posts about how the Rockets need to assert themselves and give the Magic an ultimatum, but something tells me none of us have ANY idea how the Magic really feel, and they're going to make some dumbass decision about how they want to move forward.

    Maybe it has already been made. Who knows?

    They're acquiring "assets."

    To all Clutchfans: If the Rockets trade for Howard, this is the fun we would get to experience every single day until Howard completes his rental agreement with the Rockets.:grin:

    Nope. Lakers want another center and Dwight is the only one better than Bynum.

    Don't know about you guys, but the fact that the Nets are out is huge for us.

    Dwight or Bynum to Rockets seems inevitable now.

    My view and prediction: Orlando GM is waiting for Howard to commit to name a new destination and commit signing an extension with. That way, they would be ablr to maximize what they would get in return. I'm predicting it would be the LAL but i'm still givinh Morey the benefit of the doubt here. He could still acquire Dwight himself depending on how far he would go.

    Hate to see us facilitating a trade that would help LA acquire Howard but if it meabs acquiring Bynum long term then i guess i'll take it. But no way i would give up a ton of assets in that scenario. LA's the one gettig Howard, then they should be the one giving up assets and absorbing bad contracts.

    My bold prediction: Both Bynum and Gasol ends up in Houston.

    agree with the first statement.

    regarding the 2nd - umm.. it seems that it's ORL's hesitancy and not ineptitude on Morey's end. We'll keep this quote filed away and refer to it again before the season starts...

    Poor Robin is out there somewhere in tears.

    You're not the chosen brother, Robin. It was Brook who was chosen.

    Stop crying, you sniveling ass! Stop your nonsense. You're just the afterbirth, Robin.

    They should have put you in a glass jar on a mantlepiece. Where were you when Brook was suckling at your mother's teat? Where were you? Who was nursing you, poor Robin?

    I remembering saying a while back "Why won't Orlando call his bluff?"

    The new coach could be Orlando's last hurrah at keeping Dwight.

    Orlando you got to let us know
    Will Howard stay or will he go?
    If he goes you will be horrible
    And if he stays it will be trouble
    So come on and let us know

    Will Howard stay or will he go?

    This indecision's bugging me
    Exactly which trade do you want to see
    If you don't want him, set him free
    Just as the Rockets did with Courtney Lee

    Come on and let us know
    Will Howard stay or will he go?

    Will he stay or will he go now?
    Will he stay or will he go now?
    If he goes you will be horrible
    And if he stays it will be trouble
    So you gotta let us know


    And quit with the F@#*ing show!

    I was being facetious...I figure, as long as its a circus, then we may as well play along.

    Brooklyn being out is good for us. I'm worried Dwight's just going to re-up in Orlando now though.
