They could take on our bad contracts, Dwight, and still have 14 mil of cap space and their MLE and VLE.

This is not a type of move that you make unless there's a deal in place. I would say Dwight to Hou imminent now

I'm guessing that when Dwight said he isn't resigning with Orlando Henny gave them the green light.

wow. they have a plan.

Something has to be imminent though because you don't do that and then let Orlando back away. I guess today's last chance convo with Dwight is what did it.

Basically Houston will be Orlando without Jameer, EC3, and BBD's contracts on the books. Just to help everyone imagine what they're working with over there.

Something to think about, the more bad contracts we give, the less Houston will give us ..

I actually prefer keeping Hedo (buyout next summer) and get more in return.

I'd imagine so, because if it's true that July 17th is the deadline to amnesty, this move comes 5 days early IMO. No reason to do it today on a team with so much existing capspace unless they've got a deal in place.

I don't think it will be all of those people. Dang we still have to wait until tomorrow for the amnesty. So by this time tomorrow I guess it goes down.

David Aldridge ‏@daldridgetnt
Source says Rockets have not made a final determination on using amnesty on Scola; could "potentially" happen Friday. @WojYahooNBA first.

i know everyone wants Shabazz he is a very good player but I don't have him #1 on my wish list which looks like this.

1. Tony Mithcell, North Texas
2. Anthony Bennett, UNLV
3. Shabazz Muhammad, UCLA
4. Kyle Anderson, UCLA
5. Isaiah Austin, Baylor

I've been a Magic fan since 1990 and as much as I wish Dwight could stay in Orlando, I'm reluctantly resigned to the fact that he's going to leave us for another team. That said, if he's gotta go, I would LOOOOOOOVE for Hennigan to ship his asymptote off to Houston where he doesn't wanna go to play with Orlando's trash contracts. Watching him go to good situations in LA or Brooklyn would be tough to handle but Houston? I'll help carry his bags!
