Official Speculation Thread (Pt. XXXVII Off-Season Edition)

[arkknight1988]

it wouldn't suprise me if his main goal is to screw the franchise over. i'm sure the mavs will be the only team on his list now

[Nyce_1]

Expanding his list won't do us any good because Houston still won't be on it

But LAL will.

I'm a fan of either trade.

[_DudeItsMagic_]

I trust Rob in whatever he does until given a reason not to...he drafted Nicholson & O'Quinn much to the displeasure of many on here (I questioned it myself despite living only an hr away from St. Bonnies), and those look like solid picks now...I really think O'Quinn will make the team and be a viable option as the back up center and as for Nicholson....wow! It may just be summer league but his post moves and comfort level on the court is HIGHLY IMPRESSIVE

ESPN can keep trying but you can't stop magic baby!

I ain't ready to shelf Blue & White Ignite! Bring in Bynum and lets GO! Playoffs 2013 BABY!

Seriously, who the hell cares about Dwights "list"? He's humiliated himself and this franchise, and we want to be open to his "list"?

No, we don't have to make him happy or abide by his list. We trade him to the team that provides us the best package and assets to put our organization in the best position moving forward.

Ric Bucher just on ESPN said the Rockets don't have the "resources", picks, talent and cap relief to get a Dwight trade done, and it will be hard to find a deal as good as what the Nets were offering

Not biased at all.

I think the only way we deal with LAL is if they give up both Bynum and Gasol. We then flip Gasol for cap relief/picks. But DH would have to comit to signing and we would have to be comfy with Bynums knees. IMO, LAL would be fools not to give up these two guys for the best (by far) center in the league.

in other words "The Rockets are not where we (ESPN) want Dwight to go so they can't have him...I hate Rob Hennigan, he ruined my life...i need a tissue"

[TDJacksonville]

Darko's been amnestied. Are we under the cap at this point? Could we make a bid (And if we could, would you want to?)?

dont see the point with how O'quinns looked. the only reason id even think about it is cuz of his Height and we could easily get a guy like that cheaper.

we need to find a PG besides another BIG

slow down, Quinn has been playing against SL players, he hasnt gone up against any real NBA starters yet.

ready to be Proven Wrong?

Hes Played Against a lottery Selection(drummond) and clearly beat him good head to head 11 points 6 boards vs 3 points 3 boards.

he did seem to not have Played very good against the jazz but he also only played 11 mins and change vs an NBA center named Kanter.

hes got a good test tomorrow with Fab Melo and sean Williams and Maybe even some Sullinger.

Im not saying hes gonna be an All-star but im saying hes definitely Capable of Being able to Play 20 mins or less a game for a Fraction(atleast 25% OF THE cost) and btw we are over the Hard Cap Line so we wont be bidding on him.

I thought I didn't hear right when he said it. I'm at work and had to do a double-look if this was legit. Dude, along with Broussard, are some of the biggest puppets being used by these agents.

I can't hate though; I'd be an agent puppet if I was getting paid what they get.

C'mon Bucher, give up

[DiplomaticMagic]

We obviously don't care about Dwight's list but teams like the Rockets would probably be more aggressive and give-up more to get Dwight if they were on his list. What's the difference between Houston and Dallas anyway, is it just Mark Cuban?

And a Dwight/Bynum swap still gets us nowhere, and Dwight will probably win a ring. No thanks.

Ummm...a team from Dwight's "list" will offer more for him than a team just trying to rent him.

Why would a Bynum/Dwight swap get us nowhere?^^

[arkknight1988]

i think espn analysts shoudn't ne allowed to use the word sources. its just a way to hide their agendas

A Dwight/Bynum swap gets Henny out of 1-2 bad contracts and gives actual potential to make moves in the future

Im with you, I don't want anything Houston has to offer over L.A.

I love people suggest we could easily "flip" Gasol for great pieces. Reminds me of 2007 when people thought it was a great idea to "flip" houses. To make the strategy work we better have a buyer already lined up, and if that's the case might as well make it a 3-way.
