Who wants to make a bet that Ping or Bucher will have a new story tomorrow from a "source" saying how a deal is close and that dwight, jrich, duhon,and baby are going to the rockets for blank blank blank?

When we include Big Baby, I just feel like we're giving away too much. At that point, I'd consider doing BBD/D12 for Gasol/Bynum.

what do you guys make of this?

Pingalore was told this was the team Howard is most likely to end up at. However, Pingalore also learned Oklahoma City is making a push for the Magic center. Pingalore was told that the Thunder are offering James Harden and Serge Ibaka.

Lakers. But yeah, we have a solid fanbase on Twitter. I'm sure that's partly due to not having an NFL, NHL or MLB team...

LOL @ OKC offering Harden and Ibaka. If Ping wasn't Ping, I'd believe him.

It's Ping. Not making anything out of it. Still waiting on Mo Cheeks to be hired as coach and a trade with LA to happen, according to him... :lol:

Well I checked all sports. Couldn't find another team in NHL, NFL, or NBA or MLB with a Million followers. Yankees dont even have a million.

Of course except Lakers with 2. something million.

I really don't want to have to deal with losing both Harden and Ibaka so I much rather just go with the Rockets trade.

If that offer is out there we should leap at it right away.

ThatFloridaDude · Post #878 » by **ThatFloridaDude** » Fri Jul 13, 2012 3:12 am

to you guys on here Is a Harden/Ibaka Package better than a Houston package?

To me i don't care as long as he is out west.

No it does not make us a top 4 team in the east and they both will get huge deals in free agency.

MagicFan41 · Post #880 » by **MagicFan41** » Fri Jul 13, 2012 3:17 am

It can't even be Harden+Ibaka for Dwight . Salaries not close enough. My guess would be they would have to throw in another piece to that? Probably Perkins. Either way....I don't know if that really helps us. Although a lineup of

Jameer/Wayns
Harden/JJ
JRich/Hedo
Ibaka/Nicholson
BBD/Perkins

could be interesting. But yeh, both those guys will get big deals and we would still have JRich on the books....don't see the point of it.
