a huge upgrade but K mart is the type of player who gets buckets but doesnt help the team win. Hopefully Lamb would play over him too. Works for me.

The feeling regarding #Magic move of Dwight is it will be done by week's end. Feeling is this will be a lease- rent-to-own, figuratively.

Rockets and Magic talking again about a deal for Dwight Howard! Makes sense for everyone except Dwight apparently

Top 3 in 2013, Top 2 in 2014 and Top 1 in 2015. VERY GOOD!

Eric Pincus
Who could be involved in a Lakers/Orlando/Houston deal? Wow, there's so many possibilities you could probably come up with 100 scenarios Read more › - I don't have answers other than the main points - and then some pieces we already knew - Rockets like Pau, interest in Sessions - Lakers interest in Lee - Magic want to dump players, etc. Odds of anything? There are no odds, either talks go somewhere or they don't - and usually they don't!

I'd flip K-Mart for better vets or another lottery pick.

Maybe we could flip him for Deng :)

I'm not so sure because K-Mart was really not happy about playing in Houston because of losing so I doubt he will be happy about playing in Orlando. Although in any situation I'm taking K-Mart over J-Rich so Upgrade.

3 way deal heating up. Marc Stein reports:

Houstons wants Bynum because they feel he would absolutely resign with them.

Lakers wants Dwight.

Rob wants picks and young players. Lamb/White/Martin/picks.

Perfect.

Chad Evans ‏@ChadEvansNBA

#Magic are showing no indications that they want to deal with the #Nets whatsoever anymore. They'll still listen. But it won't happen.

So if I am reading all the rumors correctly. The proposed deal is most likely this:

Orlando gets:
Toney Douglas, Harrelson, Jordan (FRom Knicks Trade), Kevin Martin, Jeremy Lamb, Royce White,
Marcus Morris
Toronto 2013 unprotected lottery pick
Houston 2013 unprotected lottery pick

Rockets get:
Andrew Bynum
PG Chris Duhon
PG Ramon Sessions
SG Jason Richardson

Lakers get:
Dwight Howard
Courtney Lee

Donatas is not available to be included in a trade until the first week of August. Will Henny wait or pull the trigger now and pass on him?

upgrade because we'd actually get value back for KMart.
