    From what Ive seen of him ( little ) it's better than TY and Harden but still not very good. But at least he try's. Again I've not seen much of him play just a few games.

    This season is already over, I don't see any moves which would likely happen at the deadline that launch us into contender territory.

    I'm happy if all we do is trade Terrence Jones.

    I think any team that's interested in Dwight is holding out to see what someone else offers us. They're obviously going to lowball the hell out of Morey - I think at this stage they're waiting to see just how low they have to go until they get an agreement.

    Once someone bites I think dominos fall very quickly.

    Yeah but DMo and Bev are actually good at playing basketball so it makes it different.

    Mark my words. He will leave Houston come July, because the Rockets will not pay him...

    It's clearly obvious what will transpire.

    Don't like his intention. I hope Morey can get something done. IF Howard stays we will see the dreaded did not play because of needed rest or minor injury DNP.
    Plus the Diva in Howard will hard to deal with.

    He's a Maverick. Fegan is still up Cuban's cornhole, they'll work something out in July. Parsons might throw in some sexual favors to clinch the deal.

    They can have him. 25-30 mill for Howard. 15 mill Parsons. 17 mill Matthews.

    38 year old Dirk with another small 8-10 mill deal.

    It does sound like something they'd do though.

    What a surprise. Woj not a mention about a Love deal. Only that Cavs want Frye for their TPE. :rolleyes:

    But you can all still believe Isola the hack.

    Of course. All Dallas does is trade for or sign damaged goods. Parsons, Matthews, Deron, rondo, amare, and now dwight

    then they will also sign Lawson for a very cheap contract.

    Cyber bomb in less than two hours... or a non-cyber bomb just letting us know that Morey couldn't deal Dwight and now we just gotta deal with him walking and tearing the team apart.

    I'm told people took the Dwight comment that he intends to be with Rockets for rest of season to mean only this season. Did not say that. We did not talk about next season. We talked about the trade deadline which is tomorrow.

    Howard: "The only thing I control is what I do on the floor. That's my only focus. My objective is to play as hard as I can for this team." On rumors, Howard said, "I don't pay attention to that stuff. You always put it out of your mind. There's always going to be rumors."

    Howard: "Things are always going to be said. Just know I said nothing. I've been in the gym trying to get better."

    So everyone is waiting on Atlanta.

    I suspect Doc is waiting with his Lance trade (to get involved as a third party) , Morrey with his Dwight trade and for sure Ainge. Perhaps even Masai with his looking for PF trade.

    Down to the deadline tomorrow waiting on someone to blink.

    IMHO Cleveland will make a huge move. Their window is now and they know they can't beat GS as constructed.

    Makes sense, everybody wants in on that deal. Once they're in or out, things will start to go crazy. I doubt this deadline will be big though.
