okc wouldn't do that though, they have some of the best pieces but they are not an option to trade with

Lol I know... but a man can dream can't he?

Hey, when Otis says 6-8 teams are calling for a "rental", then I'm hoping to GOD one of them is OKC :lol:

... you never man, crazier things could happen.

If Dwight goes there and they win a Chip, he'd stay there IMO.

Teams I would like

Thunder-Best possible offer
Clips-obviously for Blake Griffin
76ers-nice young players who could play awesome defense with SVG
Blazers-also have very nive young pieces & pretty much an all star in Aldridge
TWolves-Love, Pek, Wes Johnson, Derrick Williams.....pretty nice young players.

I feel like they would be one of the teams calling, knowing their GM's erratic moves.

Btw I edited my post on the last page to include Wafer... I forgot to add him

I will be very mad & very disappointed if Otis doesn't make ANY move before the deadline ..

If Otis thinks this exact roster can win a Championship, he's insane ..

Def agree. & a package of Love, Pek, & Derrick Williams could be solid.

DO IT OTIS! I love Aldridge, and bring in Wallace, Batum, and one more player and picks, and that's a great deal IMO.

You guys think letting Dwight walk so u can tank is gonna get u the next Lebron or Dwight?... Bargnani, Bogut and Oden say hi.. we could very well stay a bad team for a very, very long time...

Gimme Bynum and make LA swallow our bad contracts... then build through free agency around Bynum.

I don't think Howard is staying... I just have this feeling he isn't... if Howard doesn't commit before the deadline, you have to move him and get SOMETHING in return... you'd be stupid not too... but knowing this franchise, they are this stupid and naive. Howard bolts in the summer and we're stuck in cap hell with Hedo, BBD, J-Rich, Duhon, and Q-Rich. YOU DON'T TAKE A CHANCE ON SHAQ PART II HAPPENING.

Sorry to sound this way... but it's the truth. :-?

Very true.

Don't forget the Kwame's and Joe Smith's, we could continue sucking for a while.

Even though I agree with you about just letting Dwight walk I'd rather see him get some help and atleast try....oh and LIL WAYNE SUCKS!!!! :lol:

jezzer45 · Post #797 » by **jezzer45** » Mon Mar 5, 2012 11:38 pm

also this all falls on howards shoulders. He needs to man up and make a decision. Let the team know and dont have all these interviews with him saying the right "good pr" things.

CLEAR CAP, REBUILD! Send out our bad contracts

And also... get SOMETHING in return... I'm sorry, but Howard pussyfooting around whether he's staying or leaving is a bad sign imo... (if) he bolts and we get nothing in return, then we're screwed for a long time while stuck in cap hell.

philly is the only realistic option in that bunch, not many teams will give up anything for a 2 month rental

Hold up. I thought it was Alex handling this Dwight thing? So if a trade is not made and we lose him for nothing or make a bad deadline trade shouldn't we blame him? :devil:
