Sources: Houston has started contacting teams about trading Dwight Howard

Damn the Pau/Taj for Howard does not work would still need Dunleavy to be added to the trade in order for it to work. Don't think the Bulls would do that.

 

I also hated it because we were helping to facilitate Chris Paul to the Lakers. Which seemed like would make them really, really good. And I hated the Lakers.

 

Ohhhh that guy

 

Breaking News!!

 

I don't see the infatuation with trading Dwight. Our defense will be atrocious without him. We should just keep him, and force other teams to outbid for his services after the season. If a team outbids us, so be it.

We aren't going to get anything major in return for 1/2 season of Dwight. That's not an indictment of his skills, but the reality of the market when trading for a player under contract for 6 more months.

 

agree. Throw in Noah for salary to work..doable while he's injured, right? He's done for the year and expiring..

Add in Terrence from our side (or something like Thornton/Terry if it would fly) and a pick from theirs if necessary..

 

This is hilarious. These guys try so hard to be an "insider" its downright sad. You're not a reporter. You just talk and blog about basketball.... nothing wrong with that. You now look like a hack along with all the other hacks.

I think that's where Zach Lowe really shined. From day 1 he wasn't trying to compete with and be another Woj. He wasn't trying to be another SAS. He's like this is me. I'm honest about what I know and what I have no freaking clue about, and I just dig into the actual basketball and try to be objective, honest, and entertaining.

 

Ha that's brilliant! Geltzeiler does seem to throw heaps of nonsense interspersed with some genuine knowledge, so fair enough he frustrates execs. Go Hollinger.

 

Hollinger uses analytics the right way

 

Capella and Gasol > Howard and who ever

 

Need to get Taj somehow

 

Meh. We don't need decent players.

 

I don't think 99% of the NBA players are worth any of the salaries they make. But if you asked me Parsons gets 15 mill a year and Tobias Harris makes 16. I think Tobias is a better bargain. 15-18 mill will be average for guys who score 12-15 a night.

Funny mention. Ben Wallace told Jay Williams (Chicago), all you have to do in the NBA to get paid is get 2 points, 1-2 rebs a quarter and you will be fine.

 

Hmmm

I'd prefer to keep Howard. Why let a star like him walk for someone who might leave in the off season. Dwight I feel wishes he could end his career here. Morey and him just need to come to s final decision on him not getting a max but something respectable

If it was for having a ****ing r****d(no offense to mentally challenge bc they are probably smarter than JB) as a coach and someone who knows how to run a offense

We have Ty/Harden/Howard finally and we are willing to trade one or two because our coach lacks intelligence

 

Pau is old, what other moves does this team make to compete with the Warriors/Spurs/Thunder before Pau completely falls off? (likely 2 years max)

 

Come on Morey get this trading business going. :grin: I am sure he is up to something creative(I hope).

Cleveland getting Howard and Anderson, while sending out Love makes sense to upgrade their team, although they are sacrificing alot of value.
