What a lopsided trade. Why would we let Orlando rip us off like that?

Because houston fans love punishment? You should know this by now.

Look at how many of our former players are flourishing this year. But, you know, they just weren't what Morey wanted.

Edit: Thats a hell of a defensive squad, thekad.

Serious question: Where does Dwight go next year? Fire up the trade machine.

I think the Lakers fit Dwight's "hollywood" personality better. But basketball-wise, the Celtics are probably a better fit because they have Rondo. If Dwight goes to LA who knows who will be playing the point 2-3 years from now. Whereas Rondo will be in Boston for the foreseeable future.

That is because hawks are inferior.
You can't seriously be saying that today.

The last time we played the Celtics in the playoffs we took them to 7 games. How many games did the Knicks win again?

Lowry/Martin/Turkey/Scola/Dwight

Championship.
I give it 3 games before dwight punches martin in the throat for taking stupid 3's while he's open under the basket. I mean stupider than nelsons.

Dwight wants to win, so he'll go to the Lakers or Celtics.

he also wants so badly to be Shaq, and young Shaq, not fat old Shaq, so it will be Lakers. Bynum needs to call up a real estate agent in Orlando and start doing some house hunting.

It's basically Melo all over again if Orlando tries to trade him instead of losing him for nothing. Certain teams like Houston, Clippers or NJ might have cap space or even assets, but if Dwight doesn't want to go there (and I don't think he will) he can put a stop to any trade.
 
Dwight to the Knicks, Nets, or Celtics two years from now when KG and Ray are gone, I don't want him on a good team because they would win the next several titles. Thunder and Bulls can make the best offers though. Westbrook by himself is far more valuable than Bynum as is Noah.

There's room in this town for both of them.

how is rondo a fit for dwight at all? no really, that's just stupid. so the guy not guarding rondo can just double dwight in the post all day?

That was 3 years ago when the newly formed Big 3 were playing their first playoff series together. They've won a championship and made two Finals trips since then...

If Dwight goes to the Lakers, the league will probably revolt.

I read almost everything Adande writes. And I love the way he writes. But, I often dislike what he talks about because its about the Lakers/Celtics/Other Established franchises. Give Kevin Love some love!

One, I think Rondo will improve his jump shot at least a little bit in a couple of years.

Two, Rondo knows how to run an offense and get everyone in their sweet spots. It wouldn't just be Rondo and Dwight. It would be Rondo, Dwight, and any other solid role-players Boston would have. When Rondo is in full facilitator mode, everyone else on the team plays better. Everyone gets easier shots, which relieves pressure from the individuals. You think old Ray Allen would be shooting the highest 3 point percentage of his career on any other team right now?

A guy that puts up numbers on a 17 win team? Yeah lets give White Shareef Abdur Raheem some love.

You do know where he is from and which newspaper he worked for before ESPN, right? Of course it's all about those franchises....
