Dwight saying he'd sign with LA is great news! Now we know they will cough up Bynum. It's up to us to find the taker for Bynum (not hard to do) and get a package that we want back. It wont be CLE.

I wouldn't doubt if D12's agent is doing all of this to get D12 to LA and avoid HOU. D12 saying he'd come to LA really does help facilitate the deal quicker.

I'm going to let this one fester. Hopefully more will come to light in the morning.

Is he on twitter? Not seeing it over at TBN in the thread.

Same here. I don't see a post about him saying that it didn't come from D12 himself.

on the other hand, I don't think the Cleveland deal as currently being discussed is good enough for orlando

I'd agree with you here. And I highly doubt HOU offers any package similar if a tthree wade trade goes down. Bynum is not Dwight (Right Now) and there is no way a Houston Package is sweetened from any package before, which is why I'd prefer to get Bynum. Bynum is a center, which in this league is hard to find a center with upside in production and potential.

Yes and he insinuated on TBN that it didn't come from D12 while replying to a poster. He's been on the money so far thru most of this, and the idea of this coming from a member in Dwight's camp doesn't surprise me.

Magic can wait till the season starts if they have to. Dwight will f'n panic about where he'd be willing to play. He'd even give in to Houston, I bet.

Im probably going to need you to come through for part 41. There's a good chance I'll be on the road when this gets towards the end.

Hopefully I'm around for it

To be honest, I tried to avoid posting it here. Didn't feel right without his permission (not that I know he cares or anything). Just didn't think it was a good idea. It's probably not hard to find either, I just don't want to be held responsible. I hope you understand. Just doesn't sit well with me lol. But this was said:

I don't know who the source is but it didn't come from 12

Oh, ok, I trust you, I was just wondering, getting the D12 runaround from you and all. :wink:

I suspect that this is Dwight's camp trying to prove to everyone that Orlando never wanted to deal him to Brooklyn, the Lakers, Rockets, or any team. Dwight is saying he'll go to LA just to prove that Orlando won't trade him.

I can see that happening after all Rudolph said yesterday on the radio.

can someone please post the ybr twitter page? I'm going insane trying to find it.

sounds like a trade is going down soon, would be a crazy time to do it though

Interesting news with Feigen's latest too, seems Rockets are still in the mix if they go all out with a nice offer, even with Lin and Asik signed, waiting to sign Asik on Friday though.

Don't get Rudolph's latest tweets, Henny & Co. going to do what's best period and however long they want to take.
