Dwight Howard trade rumor thread (Talks on hold? P. 90)

[FullCircle]

Wasn't Lowy disgruntled though? They may end up getting Howard or bynum for that pick though.

I am disgruntled sir. I am disgruntled.

This effin guy.

[hazy_01]

They can get Aaron Brooks and they can still get Sessions.

[chubby_1_kenobi]

Dwight Howard has no say in the matter. He goes where Orlando trades him and then the Rockets will try to put talent around him to convince him to stay. If they can't they can trade him at the deadline and probably still get Bynum.

Which player can Houston sign next year?
Howard -20 million
J-Rich - 6 mill
Hedo -12 mill
Scola - 10 mill

That's 48 million already tied up on 4 players. Salary cap is at 58 million.

Tell me how Morey will improve that team next year.

[[GR]]

The dumbest thing Morey did was trading Lowry for a pick. Didn't want to pay Dragic 10 million either. So who now is the starting PG?

Toney Douglas

If Lowry started, and played with Dwight, he wouldn't have been. He didn't want to be disrespected by playing behind Dragic.

He won't. Thats the point. Unless he miraculously land CP3.

[LarsV8]

^ Try removing Turk and Jrich for one. Orlando may get a fair deal, but it certainly won't be a sweetheart deal. Second, we still have our amnesty, so Scolas money can be removed.

You are ignoring one thing. Houston has enough picks and prospects to make the Magic change their mind about dumping their bad contracts. Dumping bad contract on a Bynum package may still be a requirement because Bynum is going to be paid 20 mil a year on average and they need as much payroll flexibility to retool the team for Bynum.

[SCourGe OF GoD]

I might even lowball Houston and see if theyd take Gasol instead of Bynum

And Houston hangs up and walks away

Who cares...good luck with 7undersized PF's then and half hearted tank

The Rockets still have their amnesty left so you can just take that 10 MM for scola off the books. With some more maneuvering they will for sure have enough to offer a max contract to a player.

Yeah.. we will not take on both Hedo and JRich

I am not ignoring it, I just don't think Magic FO is stupid enough to trade Howard for picks while keeping Hedo and J-rich on the roster.

[woosah]

Only 6 mil is guaranteed on Hedo next yr ^^

Half hearted? You think a team with 7 power forwards can win in this league with a rookie pg, asik at center at best, and only one real veteran in Scola possibly getting minutes? If they don't get a star Scola will be shipped out and Martin will either be gone too or on the bench. The current Rockets roster is setup for a beautiful tank job.

The same franchise who let Dragic walk away is going to pay Scola $21 million for the next 2 years so he can sign somewhere else? Yeah, I doubt it.

That depends on the Houston package. A good enough cap relief+prospect package should not require Houston to take on Hedo or J-Rich, especially since Dwight won't commit to an extension. The Magic are more likely going to require a salary dump on the Lakers for any Bynum deals, and all we have are smaller bad contracts to send out.

You should do some more research. A majority of Scola's last year is not guaranteed.

[LakerLegend]

Rox rumored to be in talks with Aaron Brooks. Brooks Bynum Scola are nice pieces to start with.

I still think he's going to the Nets by the end of this.
