Because they are both community relations and have no input on basketball operations decisions

He basically said that if he was the GM, he would do what Rob is doing now and that is not allowing Dwight and his people to bully this organization into sending him to a location that he wants to go to. He said that I will trade you to whatever team nets me the best assets for you, period.

The bulls drafted Noah, Rose, and essentially Deng, how were they 'put together' through trades and FA? Are you saying the boozer signing is what put them over the top and not drafting Rose/Noah/Deng?
Memphis drafted Conley, Gay, Mayo (essentially) and Pau Gasol (which as an asset, turned into Marc Gasol). I also would not say that team was 'put together' through trades/free agency. Their core pieces were put together through the draft and they added a big piece in Randolph through FA.
How do you think the celtics were able to get Garnett and Allen? By collecting assets through the draft, which they were able to then trade.
LA drafted Kobe/Bynum/Fisher/Marc Gasol (who they flipped for Pau)
Miami is the only team you could make a case for being built solely through Free Agency.
OKC is the only team you could make the case for being built solely through the draft.
The fact of the matter is great teams are typically built through the draft with trading being a by-product of good drafting

You're mistaken on LA, and none of the other juggernauts you are referencing have won anything yet.

Why am I mistaken? Because the Lakers agreed to the trade prior to Charlotte selecting Kobe in the draft? Also, the 'juggernauts' I'm referencing were mentioned by someone else as being "built by trades/free agency". Simply pointing out they were not.

I meant the actual ball itself, it's got different threading on it. I thought maybe it was a d league ball but it looks slightly different than that. Thanks for the help though.

Houston just cut Scola to continue their pursuit of Howard according to Woj.

Well, I said if this happens, Dwight to Houston is on.

Houston has decided to use the amnesty provision on Luis Scola and will likely file with NBA on Friday, league sources tell Y! Sports.

Scola has three years and $21 million left on his contract. The Rockets are clearing space in pursuit of a Dwight Howard deal.

Strap In!

Houston is DETERMINED. I've never seen a team go so far out of their way in terms of moving players around to try and make room for someone that doesn't even want to be there.
