Dwight Chase Heating Up

[Coxy]

I think stern is pretty happy with Paul throwing oops to Blake in LA, and Dwight likely ending up in NY. Not to mention the Hornets lining themselves up for a top 3 pick, who will be a rookie contract with a perceived star future... plus another pick about 8 picks later.

The Clippers stepped up and took out seat at the table because they had the balls not to overvalue Eric Gordon or get punked by Chris Paul's agent.

Yep

David Stern had a vision when he sent Lacob out here. It was supposed to be
Paul
Ellis
...whoever
...whatever
Dwight

We were supposed to matter and Curry was supposed to help rebuild New Orleans.

F ing clowns.

Say what you will about him, he's a hell of a CEO. He gave us a giant bone and we pissed on it then started running around in circles till we got dizzy and fell.

It takes a little time to figure things out after a lockout and a new CBA and cap limits. It's the sharper FOs who figure things out sooner (even the Lakers screwed up when they traded Odom for a TPE and a low pick). Stern's ascension in power stifled their effort to get Paul which they thought was shoo-in. Not like the old days. Our FO was thinking old cba when they turned down the unsigned Paul deal.

They didn't realize that the landscape had changed and that doing these kind of deals even when a guy has an option likely will turn out decent for you regardless of whether or not he resigns due to the amount of money he's going to lose if he walks. And even then, you're left with beaucoup cap space at your disposal. Maybe they figured that out and that is why they're now willing to go after an unsigned Dwight regardless of whether or not he wants to play here.

Well if the Magic do value Curry, we could still try to aim for

Derron
Ellis
whoever
whatever
Dwight

Better fit actually. We'll probably facilitate that to the Nets though and watch them compete for championships the next decade

Everyone ended up happy except for us.

Interesting thread over on Magic board regarding Monta. They definitely want him:

His screen name says "Waived." I wonder what he did (though I could probably guess)...

Wreaking havoc on the Lakers board, lol. A whole thread was dedicated to him. I kinda liked him over there. So bad one of the Laker fans came over here and asked for our help. One of the best screen names ever imo.

Yeah, I just read that "Kobe is Selfish" thread over there... That was some classic ish... Even they were laughing with him (or at him). Why wife asked me what I was laughing at while I was reading it. I don't know what he did wrong though, his posts actually held relevance and he didn't seem out of line (unless they erased what got him banned). Damn, we keep losing members of the Monta fanboy club. Got to admit, that guy made his mark in just 81 posts. It usually takes a few months of posting before I notice someone. And I agree, Classic screen name...

[turk3d]

Yeah, I'm going to miss montasballs. Hope he makes it back in a while.

[cb1115]

Yeah, we want Monta. Badly.

Is there anything on Orlando's roster that even remotely entices you guys?

[Jester_]

Unfortunately not. There's really nothing you guys can do unless it involves some kind of a 3-team deal, because outside of Howard, there's nothing there for us.
