If I call I will lose it... somebody calm needs to call and drop some common sense on these fools.

If Lakers/Cavs take Hedo, Duhon, Q-Rich, J-rich. BBD or in other words, every contract Otis Smith made, then I guess I could live with the trade.

Would really hate to see Whine Coward get his way though. :-?

Really hope Rob goes to Morey tomorrow and asks for Lamb and T-Jones as a counter.

I'm actually starting to think Cleveland's deal isn't that bad. Let's say they get Bynum. That'll be Bynum and Kyrie Irving. I like Irving, but I don't think he's someone that can carry a team. Bynum, I don't think can either. It's not liek these are going to be late 1st round picks. I'd say they'd be #15-20 at best. Now, say Bynum's injury woes continue. Boom, lottery picks. And then there's the chance Bynum does not resign with the Cavs...

Also I like Varejao. But even if the Magic can't find use for him, he's got a decent contract. I can see team's inquiring about him come trade deadlines.

I don't necessarily want to take this trade. But apparently the Houston offer isn't as hot as we all wanted it to be. I'd take the Cavs deal over a 1st, a player, and taking a bad contract that the Rockets may be offering. The Cavs deal probably should be given a little more thought. And maybe at the end of the day, it's just Hennigan trying to up Houston's offer.

Rudolph is Howard's designated talking polyp. If we do this Cleveland deal, Henny should be canned. This all sounds like Dwhiner's PR machine at work. Howard is a liar and so are his handlers. This is pathetic but totally in character for Howard and Fegan...and " Rudolph the brown-nosed polyp".

GUYS

Sources also told Broussard the Lakers are ready and eager to trade for Howard -- with a package built around Andrew Bynum -- but that Orlando is holding up the deal. Orlando, while willing to trade Howard, is not in a rush. The Magic will wait until they get a deal they like.

The Lakers remained dogged in their pursuit of Howard late into the night Wednesday and plan to continue discussions into Thursday, a league source told ESPNLosAngeles.com, but the longer the process drags on, the more it complicates their other offseason business and forces them to consider moving on.

The Cavs were in the playoff hunt up until Kyrie got injured. HELL NO to that deal.

This is not the fist I've heard of an LA deadline. Word is this week is it and they're out afterwards, deal or no deal.
