He's a moron and he wants too much money in RFA. Somebody will overpay for him and he won't be worth the cap hit.
Prediction: We miss on Howard, either he resigns wit ORL or goes to NJ. Lakers decide they don't want to trade Gasol to us. We trade for Kaman, giving them pieces so they won't take on much salary. This also includes a young talent and/or pick from us (like Ppat). Martin is definitely gone. Scola is 50/50. Morey trades for someone that no one has talked about. It could be a small move to save cap space for this summer.
Martin seems absent from offers. I think he still believes Martin can succeed under McHale even though they haven't looked like a good fit all season.
Perhaps the Celtics are interested in a new starting SG for several years? So, Martin for Ray Allen + filler(s) would be nice, IMO. Maybe Ray Allen and Jermaine O'Neal, both have expiring contracts and are nice rotation players with experience and leadership skills ...
Looks now more likely we do one or two small tweaks. 09'ers for picks. possibly move Dragic, though that depends on return and Lowry's health. We may move Lee, but I would like us to keep him.

if the rockets and celtics make a trade, I just might have to be serious about supporting the Celts as a second favorite team...
Well, I guess there's not another douchelord like Hasheem Thabeet available, so we can't be too, too disappointed after it's all said and done. I'm praying for Danny Granger and Kaman in two separate trades. DO NOT WANT PAU!....And he doesn't want us either, allegedly.
Funny, it seems almost the exact same as the one when we got Kyle Lowry. :grin: No one found out about that trade until 5 minutes AFTER the deadline had passed!
