Why don't we just replace the hornets in the deal with the lakers and the rockets and sent the lakers Dwight and Hedo.

Lakers Receive- Dwight Howard, Hedo
Orlando Receive- Kevin Martin, Luis Scola, Andrew Bynum, Lakers, Dallas, Houston 1st rd Picks
Houston Receive- Pau Gasol

Then we can send Redick, Q. Richardson, and Ryan Anderson for Andre Igoudala.

I Think we get talent and load up on draft picks for next year and make a run for a top point guard in the draft

PG- Jameer Nelson / Chris Duhon
SG- Kevin Martin / Larry Hughes / Von Wafer / DeAndre Liggins
C- Andrew Bynum / Daniel Orton
PF- Luis Scola / Glen Davis / Earl Clark
SF- Andre Iguodala / Jason Richardson / Justin Harper

The tools are there to get something done, it's just a matter of actually doing it.

agreed.

but do we blow our load this year on a guy that i get the feeling most GMs are suspect on as far as how much he can help a team win (Monta), or do we stay the course, clear a little cap room and go for a big fish next season? will Dwight be content with that?

If a deal is reachable to trade for Monta, Otis needs to get it done. ASAP.

I don't believe GMs don't trade players because they don't want the other team to win. They trade a player to fill a hole, save money, or get better team chemistry.

Jason Richardson is not practicing with the #Orlando #Magic tonight.

ZOMG

of course it's probably cuz the deal isn't final yet... right?

Kobe seems upset by the Odom deal, perhaps we could get him to demand a trade to the Magic. This plan would also be epically ironic.

I heard rumors he was involved in a deal for Kobe and Gasol, but I don't know.

j/k. Twitter says he's on his way to Orlando, I don't think he's in town yet.

I will be disgusted if LA gets Dwight for just Bynum and crap. If they want him, they better damn well give us Gasol and take Turk. Since Dwight has expressed interest in going to NJ, that raises his value for a trade with LA. Otis, you dummy, do your job.

Isn't it strange Dwight Howard apparently isn't interested in a trade to the Chicago Bulls? Please explain that to me.

J.Rich can't practice until deal is finalized Monday

He doesn't like strong coaches, and the Bulls coach looks like a hard-ass

That seems plausible. Chicago probably gives him the best chance to win multiple titles. We know that Mike Brown lets his stars run the team. It would be a perfect fit.

Did Mike Brown bring the Cavs assistant with him to LA that did all the coaching? The guys who always led the huddles and drew up "plays"

He coached the Pistons the last one or two seasons.

Wow, Nike is a advertising MACHINE. That was one of the most unique ways ever to promote a shoe.

Grizzlies just matched Rockets offer sheet.

Someone is on the move over there, and If i i had to guess it would be Gay. They are looking for some cheaper replacement, I wonder if we can offer it to them.

Because Dwight wants the bright lights of NY/LA for his "offcourt pursuits."
