Isn't Rudolph Broussard's source?

Another big man super star lost to the Lakers. Dwight you are following in Shaq's foot steps, even though you said you never would. Cool dude, cool.

No way Henny takes back Varejao and crappy picks.

I was born blond too. If I can shed that, I can surely shed this broken excuse for a league.

So now we have the best two centers in the league agreeing to join other teams Dwight to LA and Bynum to HOU, and at least a number of Magic fans perfectly willing to let Dwight go for Houston's picks, rookies, and maybe K-Mart.

I don't see why Cleveland needs to be part of this.

I guess not. CB had his own sources confirming Rudolph's sources. Now I'm waiting for David Aldridge to get his sources to confirm everybody else's sources.

he is just hearing the same stuff so he added his support by crediting him.
its likely they have similar sources. looks like their PR plan is to leak the info its no longer brooklyn or bust.

Dwight is just now "impressed" with the Lakers winning tradition? Because winning was such a high priority on his list, hence why he was infatuated with Brooklyn, right? And LOL @ us trading Dwight for Varajeo and draft picks. And double LOL @Bynum wanting to play for Cleveland. Nobody wants to voluntarily play for the Cavs.

I thought reporters didn't go to sleep. Why in the world am I staying up late then?!

The Rockets could now trade Howard for Brook Lopez or Bynum at the deadline. Worth considering if this increases their desire to make a trade by themselves or facilitate.

DiplomaticMagic · Post #1055 » by **DiplomaticMagic** » Thu Jul 19, 2012 6:46 am

Hopefully Houston is still stupid and does the trade without LAL.

Well, Bynum does want to play for the Cavs and Byron Scott apparently. Multiple stories about it.

FWIW, YBR adamantly calling this rumor false. Saying this didn't come from D12 himself.

I wouldn't doubt if D12's agent is doing all of this to get D12 to LA and avoid HOU. D12 saying he'd come to LA really does help facilitate the deal quicker.

I'm going to let this one fester. Hopefully more will come to light in the morning.

Look, Dwight's new GM and President are playing paddle.

Very good point, I hope Houston has this mind-set.
