I don't think he was ever considering LA since his meeting there but wants to save face with them and the city and say it was a hard choice but in the end I chose Houston

So Houston and LaL like our player development.. Shaq, Tmac and Dwight (both of them)

Well, a worker can choose where to work, right?

tmac was kind of a bust for them. had like what, 2 good seasons? and then the injuries got him. could very well happen with dwight too. he's gonna get hacked and beat up in the paint every time he catches the ball. he's a 50% ft shooter.

Can D12 and Asik co-exist?

Does anyone else think it's mind blowing how 1 year later that entire trade has fallen apart? I mean it's just crazy that the Lakers, Nuggets and Phili have nothing to show for that trade? Besides that the picks that we all thought would be really bad could turn out to be pretty good?

I mean, nobody including Henny could've seen this coming.. So far it does look like we came out pretty well in that deal. Off course it would've been better had we not lost Dwight but there was no stopping him from leaving so we got a good deal for him..

I would not be surprised if Atlanta takes on Asik and Lin for a S/T Smith..

While I don't feel bad for the Lakers...this whole process has been painful. This is 10x worse than what we had to go through with Dwight.

Of course Broussard wants to get credit for the scoop ..

He wasn't first...but he works for ESPN....so that counts as the first to break the "real news", right?

The wiretap headlines crack me up.

Dwight agrees to sign with Orlando.

I wonder if we can purge any additional assets out of Houston to enable them to offer the max?

Dwight -- the gift that keeps on giving.

MoMM · Post #320 » by **MoMM** » Fri Jul 5, 2013 10:38 pm

30 minutes later... Mavs are back to the game and are leading to get D12.
