Maybe if you have two top 5 wing players like the Heat...but that logic is seriously laughable and clearly has an agenda behind it.

I don't know who said that or if you are making it up that someone said that.

You need a great big man to win in the NBA. To ignore that is ludacrous.

Whether that comes by PF or C... you have to have one of them being really damn good.

So it only took 2 1/2 years to unload everybody from the greatest sports photo ever taken.

There's always hope people. Here's to hoping Otis gets an assistant GM or advisory job on another team.

No point in arguing, man lol. Just let it be. It's ridiculous.

Even though HOU wants no part of Gasol, there will be other suitors, whether it's before the trade deadline or come next offseason.

^This^

Not this....Bynum isn't a "Game-changing" player...at least from what i saw of him in LA......now maybe he could be as a first option but to say so now is just a reach......Bynum is a good player....no....he might be a great player but i'm not sure i can say he's Game Changing.....Either if we get Bynum or Trade with Houston i just want this to be over already.....i'm tired of hearing Dwight's name on Sportscenter......

Here you go folks. More waiting, and more than we expected. Although some of you still believe Asik has a contract and is going to come to a decision today by the Bulls.

Jonathan Feigen ‏@Jonathan_Feigen

Once it is official on Lin, Rockets will have to waive one player, wait 48 hours, then sign Omer Asik to offer sheet and begin that process.

I think what peoples belief about Bynum is that he is good enough to build a contender with vs the off chance we get "lucky" in the draft. If Bynum can stay healthy (which is a big if) he is the kind of player that if paired with a legit wing can make some serious noise in the playoffs.

The mod is a power tripping wannabe and I figured exactly who it was. Now we will start another XXXX just because someone else wants to.

let's see if we can't top 100. we've been coming up short on the last couple.

The Asik, Lin contracts will not impact talks with Magic, per source. Talks on trade for Dwight Howard have taken those deals into account.

This Feigen guy is on top of things in case you all want a twitter feed to follow that knows what's going on in Houston.

Factors in DH12/Lakers talk: Both DH and Bynum need to agree to extensions, third team must be recruited to add picks. Nothing close.

If that happens, he might one day be able to win a ring...

No guarantee in Shabazz, but there is one in Bynum. Atleast you know you have a chance to get Bynum and start building a team around him now.

What the hell? Bynum is the furthest thing from a guarantee. No one even knows if he'll re-sign in ORL. If the Magic do this deal without a commitment from Bynum, we'll be in the same position we are now.

I still think Houston has the most to offer for D12. Whether that takes a 3-team deal or can be done straight up, they can offer a fresh start for the Magic and a springboard into the rebuild.

Chris Mannix ‏@ChrisMannixSI

On Houston/Howard: Been told reports that Rockets will just absorb all of the Magic's bad contracts are ridiculous.

This is for all the people who still believe the Rockets are taking back our bad contracts.
