No wonder they beat us in everything. They're working from the future. I'm going to move to China then place US bets on the Final Four next year.

If Cleveland loses LeBron then it will suck for Clevleand but if he joins Bosh and Rose in Chicago then that will suck for you as well. Talk all the crap you want, you should be praying that LBJ stays in Cleveland.

Honestly, Orlando should wait things out because if things don't go so well for us Heat fans and we strike out completely, Wade might want a S&T to play with Howard and his old coach. Wade isn't going to want to be eliminated in the first round anymore.

Nope, it's a 50 page thread up about inside sources suggesting CP to Orlando, via various rumors.

Calm down.

If Okafor is the hurdle they're facing, why wouldn't ORL just absorb him themselves and send Pietrus/Bass/whoever as filler? He's not a perfect fit next to Howard obviously, but when you're talking about CP3 I think you can make the sacrifice of absorbing him too.

Which is why in the end, I think it will happen. Otis is looking for a way to dump Okafor, but I can't see him saying no even if he can't find a taker.

There is a pretty reliable guy that posts on the Magic forum who has said it is actually agreed upon. A lot of people over there see him as being a true inside source...we will see.

Orlando can't afford to pay Howard, Paul, Lewis, and Okafor. That's not going to happen.

But we CAN afford to pay Howard, Lewis, Carter, Nelson, and Gortat...essentially the same amount of money.

I am still not ready to say this is happening, but this trade seems to be picking up a lot of steam.
