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:

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

Looks pretty fake to me.

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? :D
