God knows Larry Hughes is the savior we need. But seriously, all this crap about teams trading for Dwight. Has Dwight stated yet that he's leaving? After everything I've looked up, it seems like he's staying. Just blows that we aren't in the mix (reported.) BTW Why the @&#* would Paul want to play with Chandler or anyone when he could come play with Howard!?

Seriously, if Lakers can get away for murder trading Pau and there are dumbasses like the Rockets out there. There is some hope...right?

Is this real life?[/quote]

Yes. Now lets discuss it.[/quote]

I think this helps teams like ORL, LA, and Dallas IMO.

Source says Hornets thought they were very close to a deal to send Chris Paul to Lakers but then Lakers backed off. To be continued.

true... it's their agenda... but at the same time... W-T-F are they doing!? Can't help but think that.

Lakers figured they'd give Stern one last call to see if they can get him to throw his weight around and substitute a 2nd round pick in place of Gasol.

ANY NEWS!? Of course there is news! We're getting The Living Legend "Larry F'n Hughes"!

Really. Larry Hughes is just a camp invite. That is no news.

Actually, No news is good news to me.

All those reports of where Dwight is going has cooled down. Especially, since the Magic have refused to listen to any calls regarding Dwight.

That to me is great news.

Game over guys, saw this on Twitter...

My source says that the New Orleans Hornets are minutes away from announcing a deal that would send Chris Paul to the Denver Nuggets for Timofey Mozgov.

Idk what's more ridiculous... Houston actually thinking of doing that stupid deal... or the Lakers backing off from such a deal, like they're the ones giving up better talent

Let's discuss this renegotiation thing. I'm sorry.....it sounds amazing, but honestly, OTHER than a team like LA or NYC, who does this REALLY benefit? This is clearly a clause that helps out these superteams with guys already making like $20 mil a year.....they can renegotiate for a few mil less per year to free up some cap room for one of their buddies to waltz on in. Who ELSE is going to honestly renegotiate their contract for up to 40% less?? I'm confused as to why this was put in other than specifically to help NYC basically...

If Gilbert does do something nuts like that and renegotiate down, that'd be huge. But when could that be done? And would Dwight be patient enough to wait for next summer for us to make moves...?

I wonder what Philly has in store for Iggy, Grizzlies with Mayo or Gay, or Pacers with Granger... haven't heard much from their end lately...

Calling it... LAL/HOU/NOH deal is a complete smokescreen... logic tells me there is no way that deal will happen... but then again, logic fails sometimes in the NBA
