Around The NBA 2.0

GS is getting Iggy. Supposedly out of the D12 race. I kind of like that for them.

I don't understand that for GS... Harrison Barnes moving to the bench???

woj reporting that he spoke too soon and that GS is still in the D12 sweepstakes. Even if they don't get Dwight, Iggy is a super solid defender that can still score when needed. Barnes was OK in that one playoff series. It doesn't mean that he is ready to be a prime time starter for a team that wants to go a lot further in the playoffs next year.

if the warriors can somehow get howard for barnes, bogut and a 1st, today would be a master class on how to build a contender in one day.

curry, klay, iggy, lee and howard. shooter, playmakers, and defenders. thats nasty.

Jazz got trade raped....

They took on all that salary for two worthless players and Rush. They didn't even get Bogut, let alone Barnes or Klay hahahahaha

I get they are not planning on competing, but what was the point of it, all they did was make the Warriors really really good...

Stupid move, just to get most likely a the 25th pick in this draft....

Utah having to renounce rights to Millsap to get trade done according to David Aldridge.

It looks like the Mavs got word Dwight will not be coming and I would not be surprised if Golden State got word from him as well and then added Iguodala. Golden State also put it out there recently that they want capspace for more than Dwight. They were hedging.

We heard Dwight will announce this Saturday on Twitter just before we heard about any of this.

I think he goes to Houston.

I think Mo Williams will be gone. Jazz going in for the Wiggins lottery.

both picks unprotected fro the jazz. now that howard is going to houston, the warriors are a curry sprained ankle away from missing the playoffs.

Houston's the best place for D12 to go and it was pretty much predictable. The roster compliments him well. I know him and Parsons are good friends as well.

So it looks like the Magic won the Dwight Howard trade of last year. They got a lot of crap for the move but all the major pieces that teams traded for have now left.

Lakers Dwight Howard, Chris Duhon, Earl Clark

Nuggets Andre Iguodala

76ers Andrew Bynum, Jason Richardson

Magic* Arron Afflalo, Al Harrington, Nikola Vucevic, Moe Harkless Josh McRoberts, Christian Eyenga, Magic also will receive a protected first-round pick from each of the other three teams and five overall draft picks

royce white traded to sixers for a playstation 2 and a starbucks gift card with $5.35 left on it.

LOL @ fats post. Seems like there will be at least 12 teams tanking to one degree or another next year.

I'm super curious to see what Dallas does next.

I bet Howard arrives in Houston before Royce does in Philly

Dwight Howard is such a cancer to the NBA. I hope he exits the league soon
