I doubt it. i don't think we're gonna hear anything else until December 9th, which still feels so far away for me. it also feels like a month has passed since David Stern and Billy Hunter shook hands and they still haven't voted on the CBA yet. i just wanna watch the Magic play already lol.

Lol Ping just tweeted the link again this time tagging Josh Robbins in it. Is this supposed to be like a "haha we got it first" deal?

Sources say Lakers have plans to go after Dwight Howard AND CP3. Everyone not named Kobe is available

don't see how they can do both- but i don't see them having a lot of trouble doing one

I bet they fail with both... The Hornets can get better assets for Paul from all the teams who are reportedly willing to sign him without CP3 guaranteeing an extension. And I just don't think we are going to trade Dwight, but if we do I highly doubt it will be to the Lakers.. Maybe they could get one in free agency before next season.

Ping is proceeding to tweet the information to many different sportswriters who cover the Magic.... lol this is hilarious.

On Dwight Howard: All we can do is keep our head up. Were going to be flooded with all kinds of rumors about Dwight and other things the next three months. You can only hope for the best.

In my experience, the guys involved in the most ridiculous rumors usually stay put.

I have no experience.

Post #289 » by **Howard Mass** » Tue Dec 6, 2011 6:01 am

I used to write more and still have people that contact me.

A big rule on rumors though.

99 percent of the stuff you hear does not happen.

You also have people spinning stuff for people as well and I'm not going to say who.

I never liked the rumor game and prefer to just give my take on things as they come.

Glad we have your insight on the board man.

Thanks!

I'm just saying you hear so much more than actually happens and a lot of spin as well.

I'll always be on this forum.

So nobody has heard anything about what happened today?

They are keeping it on the low apparently.

rcklsscognition · Post #295 » by **rcklsscognition** » Tue Dec 6, 2011 6:11 am

But low is good! Or bad...we can't decide. The worst part is we probably won't know anything till July.

I hope we get lucky like the Lakers did with Kobe. He was telling fans to go buy Bulls jerseys and then Jerry West hands them Gasol and they win championships.

Unfortunatly, not everyone has a golden horseshoe up their ass like the Lakers do.

This.

All these rumors are meant to do is generate fan excitement for their respective teams. Everyone in the league knows the situation of CP3 and Dwight, so these rumors will only get worse before they get better. They always say that no news is good news, so hopefully Otis has a plan to keeping Dwight here while being able to contend for the title this season.
