The Hawks get raped in that deal.

The Hawks?

Surely you mean Golden State?

Such a tough situation to field a competitive team and still hold out hope that you can land D-will this summer.

Hornets cooling on idea of Boston needing involvement of 3rd team, considering package of Rajon Rondo, Jeff Green and picks for Chris Paul.

With the Lakers luck they will probably get cp3 and cut money all in the same process by trading world peace walton and blake somehow :roll:

Yeah, so you're insinuating that the Clippers, who just signed Butler to a contract, will waive him next summer, pay him $16m to disappear, and use the space to sign Dwight? They can't stretch his cap impact if he is still under contract.

I'm not insinuating anything. I'm saying that they could still sign Dwight outright.

You said they could stretch Butler in order to sign Dwight outright. So you're suggesting when I wrote above.

There's no way the Rockets go for that. Right?

Right?!

Like someone else said before, why don't they just trade those guys to NO and get CP3 themselves?

How do the Hawks get raped? :-?

They get a legit point in Monta, shed Johnson's monstrous contract saving millions in the process and get a starting center. They arguably made out better than we did.

That was me, and I'll keep on saying it - if all of NOH's incoming pieces are from Houston, then why the hell aren't Houston just taking Paul rather than Pau? Makes ZERO sense.

Nope, i meant the Hawks. they get Monta Ellis for Joe Johnson and Smoove. not a good deal imo.

The deal makes no sense at all, so I'm pretty sure its bull.

I thought GS got the bad end of that deal

Surely NO can do better than Martin, Scola, and Dragic? Hell we can offer comparable players to that. What concerns me about this deal if it goes down is that this could mean he and Dwight have decided they want to play for the Lakers. The Lakers will still have Bynum to deal at the end of it.

It's all a plan to get Eric Gordon from the Clips.
