I'll say it again, I would rather trade Dwight for Jeremy lamb (not a big fan) and a big tpe. We don't have to pay an average player a max deal and we get to tank. I'm sure Houston would offer even more.

Orlando gets:

- Damion Jones (S&T)
- Luke Walton ($6 million)

Brooklyn gets:

Cleveland gets:
- Kris Humphries (S&T)
- Sundiata Gaines (S&T)
- Quentin Richardson ($3 million)
- 2 Draft Picks

Clippers get:

One bad contract won't kill a rebuild. 3 of them will.

We make out like bandits in this deal.

Exactly. J Rich is the one that needs to be moved. It'd be nice to dump Turk and Duhon, but it isn't worth giving up picks or assets to a team just to take them

I agree with you on this one. We wont be players in 2013 FA anyway, at least next season they will be expirings and we could trade them for something good by the deadline or let them expire.

Clippers have been asked to take MarShon Brooks for a 1st-round pick as fourth team in Dwight Howard trade, but haven't agreed, source says.

L.A.'s own lottery-protected first would go to Orlando in deal, if Clippers agree, source says. Organization is mulling it over.

At least Duhon will be gone. That makes me hate it a little less.... A little.

If not Clippers, a lot of teams would send a 1st for him, it's easy.

Best move for Eastern rivals right now would be to offer Sundiata Gaines a three-year deal.

our only hope

Hearing something from the Lakers would be really nice right about now

dwight walking out would not be the worst thing that could happen to orlando magic, but trading him to the place he wants is.

NEM · Post #1054 » by **NEM** » Mon Jul 9, 2012 8:28 pm

duhon in the deal makes it a bit better, but the trade still blows... we still dont have anyone that can create... which is why i dont understand the whole not wanting brooks thing... he's young, he's cheap, he can score... what is the problem?

PeePee la Fritz · Post #1055 » by **PeePee la Fritz** » Mon Jul 9, 2012 8:28 pm

NJ cannot trade this years 1st to Orlando since there last 1st was sent to Portland for Wallace right?

Potterman · Post #1056 » by **Potterman** » Mon Jul 9, 2012 8:28 pm

Why are they unloading Brooks if he is the next Kobe?

Duhon in this deal makes it all worth it.

Did they traded their 2014 pick? If not, they can trade their 2013.
