I'm telling you this trade among magic nets cavs and clippers would not go through because of Kris Humphries and Brook Lopez contract. I highly doubt that Cavs would give mutiple years of contract to Humphries

Would this trade be acceptable to you guys? I don't think Houston even requires Dwight to sign an extension.

Lets say that the Rockets trade:

(a) the Toronto pick
(b) the Dallas Pick
(c) the "Camby pick" (trading one of HOU's own picks is complicated given the fact that they traded away a lotto protected pick in 2013, will have to trade a "first available pick" to ORL, which most likely will not happen until 2014 but may be years later)
(d) two of the 2012 draft class
(e) Patrick Patterson
(f) Greg Smith
(g) Marcus Morris
(h) Kevin Martin
(i) Shaun Livingston

Rockets receive:

(a) Dwight Howard
(b) Hedo Turkoglu (but a Hedo deal will have to wait a while before Livingston can be packaged salary-wise)

Any takers?

Far better than the Nets garbage. Especially if we get their lottery talent from this year and the lottery pick from Toronto.

Edit: I'd lobby for Parsons to come back too.

It's called rebuilding. Dwight Howard screwed us by only saying he's down for the Nets. Now we get some picks and some rubbish and we draft and do work in free agency. Go Magic

So we can't criticize or love anything he does then. Is that what you're saying?

I can't help but think behind all this madness and chaos, that Hennigan is sitting cool, calm, collected and laughing at anyone suggesting and believing that the Magic would do something this dumb.

Until it happens, I'm cool with Henny. I don't think he'll do us wrong.

Haha. Seriously, I think he's joking. I know I was. I bleed blue.

Haha me too, I'll still be here to hound everyone's bad trade ideas.

Now, cheers to dirt cheap lower bowl tickets!!!!

Honestly, the more I read about this Nets trade - the more I want to puke in my F*ckin mouth!

Do the Houston deal if anything, DO NOT send this man to the Nets - for more reasons than one.

Ok, you can cheer for Luke Walton then.

Do you enjoy rooting for a team that continually makes mistake after mistake after mistake?

Are you going to be happy for your team if they give away the most dominate Center to whatever team he chooses for practically nothing while keeping and taking on crappy contracts/players?

Eventually, enough is enough. I been here 25 years and on this board for 9. I was there for Shaqs and Dwights first game. I spent my money on this team. I have been through thick and thin. Well, the damn has burst if they do something this stupid.

Now, it may fall through, but if they do something this stupid, that is the last straw.

I am giving Henny 3 years to show what he can do. Then I will judge

this is what i've been saying all along......everybody seems to be piling on Rob when really the decision isn't up to him alone.....if anything Ownership will make the call to Alex and then Rob......unfair to blame Rob 100%.....but to be honest though people are going to be upset no matter what we do.....people want Dwight to stay.....people want him gone....everybody's bound to be upset no matter what we wind up doing.....
