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

Jetset · Post #1221 » by **Jetset** » Thu Jul 19, 2012 6:30 pm

Jarrod Rudolph on Steven A Smith's radio show said Dwight's camp doesn't even think Orlando is trying to trade him. And that Orlando promised him that during last years draft night that they'd acquire Monta Ellis and Stephen Jackson. And instead of letting Howard fly on the private jet they gave him two Air-Tran tickets.

Basically Howard's fed up with Orlando's management and there's absolutely no chance in hell he will re-sign in Orlando if they keep him past the deadline.

mods, can we also quote posts like that Orlando Tragic person?

you can post what they say in this thread so long as you don't break any toc personal attack stuff. I'm fairly certain you can't personally attack someone with clever meme's that don't mention names though.... .... ... although I've been wrong before

thanks DD! I'm going to start having a little fun on the gb but do my best not to embarrass our board :uhoh:

gotta avoid those fallacies

jalen rose on espn this morning "i knew when they (lakers) got steve nash that they (lakers) will be getting dwight howard"

the RealGM source on mike and mike this morning said that he's tight with dwight he knows him pretty well to bring us the great news like he did last night

I have a hard time believing that organization would be crazy enough to keep him for the rest of the year.

I remember when that Minnesota fan came over here bashing Gasol and clowned all of our higher ranked posters.

You remember the weirdest things.

Yet you remember that I'm underage.

I only remember it because of DEEP3CL's bravado. He never did go over there and cause havoc like he said he was.

When I read your first post I knew Deep was going to be involved in this some way or another. I just knew.

who cares.

apparently you are bro, my question to you is, why don't the rest of us get a glass? :lol:

those guys on the gb are comedy gold, how do these people not accidentally drink bleach thinking it's water or something, the lack of logic is incredible. however, back to the point, where my glass of champagne dude?! :curse:

If you looked that hard, then I'm probably just not on that particular list.

I would have been at the top of that list, but i tore a ligament, got hooked on the pain pills, fell out of the league, and now just shout "I could have posted that!... If i'd wanted too. I was the BEST!"

Which is better than me... I OD'd on mescaline on draft night... They found me between a passed-out hooker's knees, aspirating Circus Animal Crackers and Yoo-hoo...
Biggest bust in RealGM draft history.

if i were the orlando gm, i'd totally keep d12 into the season and check out how the rockets rookies and bynum is progressing. make a more informed decision.

Michael Lucky · Post #1231 » by **Michael Lucky** » Thu Jul 19, 2012 6:40 pm

maybe they should just suspend talks for now then. It's a double edge sword to wait on the rooks though considering if they are better than expect Houston might take some of them off the table, and if they suck then it's been a waste of time.

But Dwight's list consists of 2 teams so far...
What if Lopez or Bynum get injured... Is anybody going to want to gut their team mid-season for a Howard that doesn't want to stay with them?

Maybe, but I just don't see it happening mid season... By then, everyone would know the Rockets were the only Pony in the race... So even their offer would be substantially less than it is now.

Any word on if the Simmers interview is actually happening?

yeah, when i heard these comments last night i had to cringe. rudolph should stick to just reporting what howard's latest decisions are. that first comment is so ridiculous.
