Zach Lowe: If Prokhorov met with Howard on Thursday, as sources told @Sam Amick may have happened, I give up. It's over. This will never be topped.

ROFL. Now the drama of tampering charges.

I can see through all of this scripted stuff. This is just the league and the players plan to make us all forget about the lockout and push the christmas day opening to an all new rating frenzy and best of all - its workign and will continue to work. Nobody is talking about the lockout anymore :lol:

So we can eliminate Josh Smith off the wish list.

According to yahoo, Davis is now on the Magic via Bass trade. I'm thinking we move Duhon and QRich with Bass, since Davis would probably want more than 4 million per year.

Jesus. Why would you meet face to face in this day and age? Everyone has a camera-phone, for a start, and no-one is against selling a photo or info for their own gain. It's like asking to get caught.

Oh and Howard meeting with any owner behind our back is a big no no. If they can prove that, 1st picks are coming our way and the teams Howard met with will never get him in a trade.

Agreed. If we get Josh Smith, we would have the best front court in the league (Howard, Davis, Smith).

Gotcha, I'm assuming you are talking about JSmith playing SF.

Again, if this is proven, we will get 1st rounders and Howard will almost have to sign with us just to save his own as from the horrific PR he would get.

Wait, wait, wait. You mean yesterday? On his birthday? While everyone was watching the Chris Paul saga, Dwight was trying to back out of ORL and met with the NETS owner?

What the?

So does this mean he never was going to LA? This is just nuts.

If that's true then Dwight and NJ might have royally screwed themselves

Quick dig up the CBA. In lieu of 1st pick we we should have the option of players on the team - Deron Williams and call it a day.

Is it possible Broussard knew about this meeting yesterday(after the fact)? He may have based his rumor of Dwight going to NJ off this meeting maybe...
