Howard Thread III (Howard ready to join Lakers p.68)

But Lee is a FA and lives in Orlando...

ORLANDO, Fla. — Free agent guard Courtney Lee lives in Orlando and was one of the few current NBA players hanging out at the opener of the Orlando Summer League Monday at Amway Center.

And Hill probably still lives in Houston, so he's probably just wondering if Lee is in Houston or Orl.

Not trying to be a Debbie Downer though... I cannot take much more of this nonsense... So I would love for there to be some truth to this...

It's boooorrrring right now... Any idea when Bynum gets back from fishing?

since were all just speculating, hopefully it means la is in the process of acquiring lee, and he wants to see if his new teammate is in the area(im assuming hill's in houston right now and lee might still be around the area) and wants to kick it.

Don't think so, why else would he tweet them? Surely Hill must've known someone from RealGM would see this and break the news first! :rofl:

YannisHW: Hold up on Magic deal with Rockets for Dwight Howardis no centerpiece player. Nothing is immenent according to sources in Las Vegas.

Hahaha that small minor detail of no center piece player what a joke.

So where is this at? Still rumors? Or is **** actually getting done?

fwliw

I really doubt Dwight goes anywhere until his back shows significant improvement.

Michael Lucky · Post #693 » by **Michael Lucky** » Tue Jul 17, 2012 2:04 am

no wonder Mitch hasn't been in a rush to trade for Howard.

Looks pretty fake to me.

Post #695 » by **dockingsched** » Tue Jul 17, 2012 2:40 am

apparently its pretty legit.

guy cant' even run yet, mitch is in no rush 8-)

Michael Lucky · Post #696 » by **Michael Lucky** » Tue Jul 17, 2012 2:44 am

yeah lakers aren't going to pull a trade for that guy until they see him play a game, so i'm not expecting anything to happen soon.

miggs · Post #697 » by **miggs** » Tue Jul 17, 2012 3:02 am

ok so i have a counter offer

McRoberts, Blake and Goudelocke for Dwight and Reddick (you know in case Dwight never plays again) :rofl:

Conversation between Mitch and Magic GM Hennigan

Kupchak: We'd be willing to make a substantial offer in an effort to secure the services of Dwight Howard.

Hennigan: What do you have in mind?

Kupchak: We'll offer Andrew Bynum + whatever filler you have in mind to make it so we can absorb one of your players signed to a bad contract.

Hennigan: Sounds great! Should I get the paperwork started?

Kupchak: Sure but before you do we'll have to get confirmation that Dwight is going to be ready to start the season for us.

Hennigan: Currently Dwight can't run and is making slow but marked progress from back surgery.

Kupchak: We'd like to revise our offer. Would you accept Steve Blake, Chistian Eyenga, World Peace, Josh McRoberts and Andrew Goudelock instead?
