Official Speculation Thread (Pt XXXVIII Off-Season Edition)

Hennigan about a Dwight Howard trade: "Yesterday, I told you that nothing is imminent, and that's where we stand today."

If what we're hearing is true I'd expect it to be quiet until Chicago matches Asik's offer. Does anyone know the deadline? Tuesday?

well considering he still hasnt signed it, and neither has lin, there is no timeline just yet

If neither have signed it, can the Rockets rescind it?

[cvMagic]

I wish the people saying "Oh how crazy would it be if we traded Dwight, only to have him show up here as a free agent next summer! hur hurhurhurhurhur" NO.

Why the hell is this even being discussed? Even it's a joke, seriously? He's begging to be traded out of Orlando. I wouldn't want him to come back. At this point I'd rather have LeBron James here than Dwight Howard. Dwight's turned into such a tool, he's burned bridges with this organization and it's fans. I live close to Houston, I'll go to a game just to boo the **** out of him if I feel I must.

Stop holding back.
Tell us how you really feel.

I really hope we secure Parsons in any trade we do with Houston, the guy can flat out ball and is just a good guy to root for.

Yeah, Chandler "Larry Bird" Parsons got game. Capspace + Parsons and Lamb + 3 first round pics = Winning

I think technically they can but it would make them look real bad and agents would push players away from them and put them on a sort of black list for not holding their verbal agreement

Jeremy Lin Watch: Reliably informed he's arrived at Rockets' summer-league HQ in Vegas to, as expected, begin process of signing offer sheet

I think so but it would be a bad move... Shows players and agents you can't trust them.

We need at least some veteran leadership. Our team can't all be 25 and under. Jameer isn't great, but he will still play hard and has heart. Plus, it's not like his contract is that big. Still gives us a ton of flexibility if the Houston deal happens.

Jameer and D12 are best friends... There's only 1 reason that Jameer resigns with Magic... Get some help Henny and D12 will come back... D12 is tired of promises HE wants action

They reportedly got into a fist fight after Dwight hurt is back.

the one time Jameer actually had a chance to win that fight.

@KO_STAT10 told me he expects to sign deal w/ #Magic in next 2 weeks after meeting with Hennigan. Rob wants 2 settle coach/dwight deals 1st.

According to Mark Stein, the Rockets are willing to give the Magic any package of players they want, at least 3 draft picks and will take back as much salary as they can. They must wait though for Lin and Asik offer sheets to clear though so they can tell the Magic how much cap space they have avalible.

Looks like this is a done deal in a few days unless the Magic revoke it.

[OrlDave]

Are we there yet?


Assuming we get Parsons, would he be our 4th Gator in history? Seems right. Declerq, Miller and Williams.

Donnell Harvey

Ah totally forgot Donnell.
