    Doesn't seem like Cleveland has interest in trading Love for Dwight, but that DOES seem like a trade that makes sense.

    Love is the better player at this point, but he is pretty underutilized in Cleveland. Dwight would fit that team really well and with all th eshooters they have? Wow.

    It sucks that the Rockets will never be the team that gets to have a player who can basically get anyone he wants to play with him.

    It'd be perfect. Sadly no chance of happening, though.

    Trading for Dwight makes too much sense for the CLE front office to do. They're basically the biggest bunch of idiots that the league can assemble...

    I don't think it has to do with their front office, I think it has to do with Dwight.

    If Lebron liked Dwight, he'd make that deal happen. However, since most NBA players seem to think Dwight is a puss, they don't like him. Nobody is eager to pair up with Dwight Howard.

    As much as cavs managment like to say lebron has nothing to do with anything, if he doesent want to play with howard then theres no way the deal happens. Its basically up to him

    Not sure why that is. All signs point to Cleveland, always have. Ariza and Dwight are gone... So is that first rounder...

    I need to apologize for any influence I've had in you following this god-forsaken team.

    For all we know Morey could have offered Dwight for Love. And that is it. But maybe at the last moment Morey offers Dwight+Ariza for Love. Could be some negotiation going on here. Some gamesmanship. Or, could be nothing. :p

    The only problem with the Dwight to Cleveland scenario is if they get Dwight and lets say Anderson in a 3 way deal, they are gonna have a ridiculous payroll next year. The tax penalty will be just insane.
