    Can anyone educated actually confirm that GS will have to give up both Thompson AND Barnes? Is there really NO other possible alternative?

    Only two people losing will be the Lakers and Howard. 4 year 88 million? he end up making like 76 million in cali after the 13% tax. not including living expenses.. Lakers going into the Luxury Tax for Barnes? no 1st rounder? why help create a Superpower for just for Barnes. If I was L.A. i'll say Barnes/Thompson and 2 first rounders or bye!!

    Leverage on the Lakers to accept a sign and trade, because if he goes to Houston, they get NOTHING. GOOD DAY SIR.

    Wishful thinking. Kobe will relish having Dwight in the same division. That's the competitor in him.

    Problem is if Dwight cares about winning he'll go to GSW...unless the Lakers demand they gut their team to take him on.

    Curry/Iggy/Dwight to me is just another team...A really good team...but Curry has glass ankles and Iggy is alright.

    If Lakers gut their team and take away their shooters then I think Houston is still better.

    We rely on the Lakers now...if Dwight preferred Houston then he's doing us no favors waiting around to announce it.

    Initial tweet.

    <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p>So, NBA fans, here is an SEC lesson: this is a G-III from Houston to Aspen: <a href="http://t.co/mguIn7otrB">http://t.co/mguIn7otrB</a></p>&mdash; Wright Thompson (@wrightthompson) <a href="https://twitter.com/wrightthompson/statuses/353241062308970498">July 5, 2013</a></blockquote>

    Researched the plane's tail: N218MD

    Registered to "Ne 1, LLC" in Nevada

    Owner of LLC is Douglas W. Schnitzer

    Douglas is the son of Kenneth L. Schnitzer

    Kenneth was the former owner of the Rockets, and the original owner of the plane + assets.

    Leslie Alexander and/or Morey are in Aspen right now.

    they don't get nothing...they clear salary cap space...which may be more valuable to them than what they'd get in return from GS...and doesn't create a superteam in their own division

    I can't see the Lakers doing a SnT with someone in their division, which would create a "super team"
