Knicks have privately assured people that if they trade Billups instead of using amnesty on him, he's destined for a "good team." Dallas?

I think Dallas is the team we need to worry about. According to someone on the gb Cuban isn't giving out any multi-year contracts at all. Apparently only offered Chandler a 1 year deal.

I'm scared of Cuban.

Magic Exec. source tells me Otis Smith's response to ORL billboard message #bringchrispaul. Smith: "What do you think I'm trying to do?!"

This is my favorite part of the whole thread

With GSW, LAC, BOS, and now NYK falling off the board, I gotta imagine we enter the discussion. It has been an unusual offseason but I'm optimistic toward the direction it's heading.

You really don't hear of players asking to be traded from Detroit. Actually, guys like Ben Wallace end up coming back to retire there. Great Organization that really takes care of their players. They rarely make any trades either. They sort of build a family.

Otis could have learned much from Detroit instead of making so many trades like losing Courtney Lee or trading for Arenas just to see if he can get an edge. Too much gambling.

I thought we made out like bandits in that trade, as well as the trade to get Alston.

The Dallas Mavericks have tried to engage the Orlando Magic in sign-and-trade talks for All-star center Dwight Howard by offering Tyson Chandler, sources close to the situation told ESPNDallas.com--the latest sign that Chandler's time with the Mavericks is coming to an end. The Magic have not shown any interest in the offer and are not prepared to entertain pitches for Howard

Really? This is offensive lmao

He really demanded to be starting while not coming off the bench and is still willing to stay in Detroit. The guy is a competitor. But, I think he will be traded before all is said and done by the time he is an expiring.

Some more speculation... Houston's name finally pops up, helping LA get CP3?

Sam Amick

Wow. Houston is desperate for a center and everyone knows that. Bynum to Houston. Makes sense.

Wish we still had Gortat :nonono:

I wonder if HOU would be happy with Okafor rather than Bynum or Gasol (I wonder if they are moving Scola?)... maybe Orlando could squeeze in and get CP3, and find a way to send Anderson, Orton, and Okafor to Houston
