True, but maybe we don't want them to get too many ping pong balls. Remember, the pick is top 3 protected. So we're hoping for it to be in that 4-7 range.

If it goes through, Dwight will be the center of attention at his 'home' All-Star Game in more ways than one. :lol:

It's a great trade but no. In fact, HELL NO. Please tell me which free agents you want to give max contracts to in 2013 or 2014?

In 2013 there will be Bynum, Howard and Paul. Ellis, Iggy, Smith, Jefferson will be middle of the road (12 million plus).

In 2014, well let me see. Lebron, Wade, Bosh, Kobe, Gay, Dirk, I could go on and on. Of course IMO most of these guys will reup with their current teams, but they will be FAs.

yup... and crazier things have happened.

By the way, the Nets sure look like they have left Howard behind. They are now trying their hardest to resign KH, who will be probably making Anderson type money at least. 9 to 10 million a year. So that means their starting lineup, 5 players, will cost them 76 to 77 million a year, LOL! They are capped out FOREVER.

.. and Howard will be miserable stuck in Houston for the year, and he can't walk to Brooklyn next summer

Poetic Justice ... serves them and Howard right

God, what's going on here. We'd be taking back the whole Houston Rockets team for Hedo, BBD, Duhon and J-Rich potentially? And of course that douche Dwight. I love it, AND draft picks? Dream scenario. I am praying .. PRAYING this happens.

You all know we're not getting any of those FA's.

Can somebody clear this up for me?

How is this current offer different from the rumored draft night offer?

We'll see. The max guys, I agree and I still say that Howard WILL NOT LEAVE which ever team he is on in the summer of 2013. He is bluffing. No player is going to take a 25 to 30 million dollar hit on their salary. Williams proved this in the offseason. He had every reason to move on to the Mavs and Dallas. He has strong ties there, Cuban, Dirk, etc. Yet he didn't. Why? 20+ million dollars. That is why.

Finally get a Gator on the Magic :pray:

The Effect · Post #1140 » by **The Effect** » Fri Jul 13, 2012 7:35 am

Ok so let just say this goes through....

C - Ayon/O'Quinn/Franny
PF - Nicholson/jones/Patterson/morris
SF - Harper/Parson/White/Qrich
SG - Lamb/Redick/Martin/Liggins
PG - Nelson

Do we even have room for all these guys? and who gets cut? Also, what do we do about backup PG?
