We are discussing both trades at the same time, a 2way with Hou and a threeway with Hou and Lal

Im gonna die laughing if the rockets do trade scola and then offer us that deal we all hope (3 rookies plus draft picks and or maybe that big euro instead of one of the rookies) and rob agrees to it and calls dwights

Rob - Hey dwight, youre finally out of here, we're trading you to houston
Dwight - *checks rockets roster online*........... But......Wait......
Rob - Whats wrong dwight, you finally get your wish!
Dwight - Nevermind, ill sign an extension here, just please dont trade me to houston!!!!

That depressing moment when you realize : you've written about Dwight Howard to the Nets for over a year. And, still, situation is fluid.

D-Will earned his max deal. The other 2 are a train wreck waiting to happen in BRK.

But surely, they are capped out in 4 players, making them a 5-6 seed at best every year.

Larry Coon ‏@LarryCoon
Doesn't quite work like that. If it's a S&T, they have 48 hours to get the RT @LA_LobCity: they have 48 hours to trade Lopez per @LarryCoon

Larry Coon ‏@LarryCoon
If Nets are working on a deal with Lopez. they're giving Orlando an ultimatum -- and a deadline.

Not that they can't afford it, but I would like to see the pricetag for this roster once completed with all the tax and everything. Just curious.

pretty sure we are also discussing a bynum/dwight swap still, LAL is just looking for a third team (not to be confused with hou/lal/orl deal)

Im sure Robs scared by the ultimatum.

I still view attaining Bynum as the best deal out. Even if he doesn't extend, he comes off the books or we can trade him at the deadline.

But, again, if he won't extend, I'm down with Rob Henny leading us thru a rebuild thru the draft with Houston's deal. Picking Nicholson and O'Quinn has given me a lot of faith in what we'll do in the draft from here on.

Mule Tears · Post #238 » by **Mule Tears** » Wed Jul 11, 2012 4:16 am

NJ can enjoy their new $78 million center who averaged 3.6 rpg last year :lol:

Dwight's going to Houston or LA

Chad Evans ‏@ChadEvansNBA

Despite a HOU/ORL and a HOU/ORL/LA trade being talked about, the Magic are also hearing offers for a trade with just the Lakers.

The Lakers are willing to absorb Jason Richardson's contract and possibly one other contract (Duhon?) if the trade goes through.

OrlDave · Post #240 » by **OrlDave** » Wed Jul 11, 2012 4:16 am

So what does Williams, Jj, Lopez and Marshawn get the Nets in wins this year? 46?
