How is this current offer different from the rumored draft night offer?

ONLY thing different, Scola has been amnestied, Rockets can take back another contract now.

IIRC I think that deal entailed the Rockets getting 2 lottery picks for the Magic, one of which was to be top 10. They tried to get the #5 from the Kings and the #8 from Toronto, but to no avail. They settled for the 12, 14, and 16 (I think those were it). So the real difference is just the quality of draft picks. But Jeremy Lamb is nothing to sneeze at. I'd welcome him with open arms, along with Royce White and Terrence Jones.

PG - Nelson

Do we even have room for all these guys? and who gets cut? Also, what do we do about backup PG?

Wayns or bust

Kevin Anderson isn't too shabby either for a 3rd option,

I also expect some of those players to be moved for future draft picks and possibly other vets. Can't go into next season with all of those forwards.

Damn I'm so excited right now, I can't sleep. I just want this trade to go through. It's mind boggling that Henny is about to erase the entire Otis roster blunder while being our GM for about three weeks.

Dude is going to turn himself into instant legend status with a move like this.

No player is going to take a 25 to 30 million dollar hit on their salary.

How about LeBron and Bosh?

AgEnT50 · Post #1157 » by **AgEnT50** » Fri Jul 13, 2012 7:48 am

Don't get me wrong, I will boo Dwight mercilessly when he(Rockets) return. But I think I'm going to boo Duhon even more. I just can't stand the guy.

so basicly they become Houston Magic?

Otis> "I like this team "
