the link is bad

looks like a link to a magic forum. can't imagine it being worth a look.

Apparently its a HOU insider who works for an agent..From what I gather has been correct on multiple deals regarding HOU in the past...

A Houston insider you say?

Could it be Jason McLaed has broken another story

I think Dion Waiters is going to be a bust, at best a mediocre backup sg.

Based on what? He has a pretty solid NBA wing game and great potential

He's a chucker, Kobe minus the talent. He looks like he could be another Gerald Green or a Von Wafer.

Gerald Green and Von Wafer are reaches. With the right coach and having a PG like Kyrie, if he settles down the shooting he can be good.

You seem so confident, we'll see what happens after a few seasons, guards develop much quicker than big men so by his 3rd-4th season we should know for sure what he'll be, barring major injuries. I just don't see much yet you seem so hell bent on thinking he has "great potential". Let's hope you're right as you feel much more strongly about your position than I do of mine regarding a player who was picked much higher than he should've been.

The Cavs being involved in Dwight Howard trade rumors isn't anything new. Remember, they were involved in the rumored Brooklyn talks.

The only way we can take Hedo financially is if we move Metta or Pau, and LA isn't going to do that. ORL needs to wake up to that reality. Besides Hedo will be a big expiring after this year and will have trade value then, might as well hold onto him and be happy you're moving Duhon and Jrich.

haha i don't really have any right now. the latest is what i posted earlier, la is pushing for a trade to happen rather soon and if one doesn't they're going to talk with bynum about re-signing and forget about howard. that and supposed formation of a cle/lal/orl trade. anything else i don't really know about because i'm not wasting my time paying attention to those lesser names.

I don't trust anything Dan Gilbert is an integral piece in... Not going to get my hopes up as long as Clev is the 3rd team... I just hope Mitch has a deal with Houston lined up to fall back on.

I'm not sure why Cleveland wouldn't do everything possible to make that deal happen. It gets D12 out of the conference and pairs a young and up-and-coming stud PG with a top 5 center. That's a good recipe for success assuming they can surround them with the right talent (shooters, defensive specialists).

This deal makes the most sense for all parties.

Cleveland: Top 5 center to pair with Kyrie and some youngsters. Get rid of Anderson who's got a pretty ugly contract.

Orlando: They get the picks, young players(Thompson, Ebanks etc.) and the supposed salary relief(dump on Cleveland and LA).

Lakers: Obvious. They get Dwight.
