Rob wants picks and young players. Lamb/White/Martin/picks.

Perfect.

Another thing that i was thinking, if we get TOR and HOU's pick we could get 2 Top5 picks. Imagine if Bynum gets injured, Houston would be really bad and cash in for us!

What year would the picks be?

TOR is 2013, but HOU have some protection like the Rockets's fan correct us.

Sounds like Josh Owens either quit or has been told he isn't part of the team anymore.

#Magic are showing no indications that they want to deal with the #Nets whatsoever anymore. They'll still listen. But it won't happen.

Isn't this just a fan?

I thought it was...but he broke the Nets trade dying and the Lakers, Rockets three way before anyone else. I still have my doubts but he comes off as 100% legit. And I never believe possible troll Twitters lol

Rob prefer young players and picks. We would be getting tremendous talents back unlike that proposed Nets deal. Not to mention Toronto pick which likely will be in the lottery.

Either way is a gamble I guess. There's no guarantee Toronto's pick will be in the lottery. I just don't want to load up on mediocrity. None of these picks will be Durant or Westbrook. On the other hand Bynum's knee is one play away from disaster.

Rockets get:
Andrew Bynum

Lakers get:
Dwight Howard

I don't see la getting CLee without giving up more.

HOU is trying to SnT CLee for a 1st.

Actually there IS a guarentee Toronto's pick will be in the lottery.

If I know Henny like I think I know him, there's no way he's doing a deal without dumping Hedo somewhere. LA could probably take him using the Lamar Odom ($9M) TPE somewhere in the package.

Houston gets:
Andrew Bynum
Jason Richardson

Incoming Salary: $22,272,627
Outgoing Salary: $24,939,675

Orlando gets:
Lamar Odom TPE
Toney Douglas (qualifying offer - can dump right away)
Shaun Livingston (team option - can dump right away)
Kevin Martin (expiring)
Courtney Lee (S&T value - $6.5M)
Terrence Jones
Jeremy Lamb
Royce White
Draft Picks

Incoming Salary: $36,967,515
Outgoing Salary: $36,460,825

Los Angeles gets:
Dwight Howard
Hidayet Turkoglu

Incoming Salary: $30,661,200
Outgoing Salary: $30,731,962

I'm going to assume its not from LA though since they gave their picks to PHX.

Man, that Rockets deal looks legit.

Didn't they use it to sign Nash?
