The Rockets refuse to give up on the Dwight Howard derby, gathering more assets to try and entice the Orlando Magic to engage in talks

Yes yes yes doo it morey.

WTF is wrong with the Magic? honestly? I'm disgusted by Howard, but I can't wrap my head around this new GM.

trying to entice them to engage in talks lol Magic should be all over them.

Magic: "Eh, I don't know. Don't you think you're offering a little too much value in this trade? What we really want are some late 1st-rounders and an overpaid center who might never play a full season again. Hey, could you call Yao and get him to unretire?"

 

[RBH]

Orlando fans:

 

[Red Blaster]

Kind of confused why the Rockets traded away Lowry if they still want Dwight though. They've destroyed their team and it's going to suck regardless of who they get now.

Morey wants Dwight to show that he was successful in flipping assets for a superstar even if it was the most Pyrrhic victory ever

 

[Blackace]

Because they are desperate. None of this makes sense, man. But according to a lot of reporters, Lopez will get max or near max to stay with NJ or in the trade.

Which is why Portland should just swoon lopez to sign with them now, fuck the dwight trade, then watch the Nets match. lulz would be had.

Or go after Humphries. That works too. Don't even need a max! 3 years, $22 mil works. And he's decent.


Man, they can sell Lopez on this. If he goes to Portland, he's on a good team. If BK matches, good team. If he helps BK, then Orlando is a shit fest for 4 years with him.

Are you suggesting that Portland cock block the Dwight trade so that the Lakers can get at him?

Yeah sounds like Portland wins.. wtf

Are you dense? Are you fucking retarded?

He's the goddamned WIZARD, yo.

 

[zero margin]

so what do you think reilo, let Batum walk, S&T or pay him more than he's worth

 

[Blackace]

Brook Lopez + Luke "fabulous" Walton = HELL YEAH!

 

[KingKong]

Its very funny to see all these teams try to land Dwight when he obviously only wants to play in Brooklyn

 

[Blackace]

Its very funny to see all these teams try to land Dwight when he obviously only wants to play in Brooklyn

It shouldn't matter to the Magic where he wants to play... if teams are willing to take the chance..

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

Its very funny to see all these teams try to land Dwight when he obviously only wants to play in Brooklyn

But the Nets have no chance of getting him if they can't trade for him this year so he'll have to pick another team next year if he's traded to someone else.

 

[pilonv1]

"I'll give you a dozen power forwards and every New York Knicks draft pick for the next century for 9 months of Dwight Howard"

 

[SUPREME1]

Its very funny to see all these teams try to land Dwight when he obviously only wants to play in Brooklyn

Yeah, funny how teams are wanting his services as the league's best center. So very funny!



Wtf.

 

[Branduil]

It shouldn't matter to the Magic where he wants to play... if teams are willing to take the chance..

Besides, it is now impossible for Dwight to just walk to Brooklyn. So why wouldn't you take the chance? Where is he going to leave your team for?

 

[Gigglepoo]

Yeah, funny how teams are wanting his services as the league's best center. So very funny!



Wtf.

I'd rather have Hibbert

 

[alr1ght]

I don't even know what instagram is.

Really.

it's this

 

[KingKong]

If they dont trade him, it will be a shitty wasted year for Orlando with a bad pick (unless they tank with him) and then he walks.

 

[SoulPlaya]

I'd rather have Hibbert

LOL!!!!

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

I'd rather have Hibbert

Well, other than everything relating to basketball, they are close.

If they dont trade him, it will be a shitty wasted year for Orlando with a bad pick (unless they tank with him) and then he walks.

They can tank with him and not have to take back Bropez on a max contract.

 

[Mxrz]

Orlando fans:

Closest thing to a good deal we're getting this year.

"I'll give you a dozen power forwards and every New York Knicks draft pick for the next century for 9 months of Dwight Howard"

Still better than what the Nets are offering.

 

[Blackace]

Yeah, funny how teams are wanting his services as the league's best center. So very funny!



Wtf.

I think he means a D12 rental..

 

[Blackace]

The hawks..

 

[SoulPlaya]

it's this

I just looked it up. I don't own a smartphone, so I'm out of the loop on these things.

 

[Gigglepoo]

Well, other than everything relating to basketball, they are close.

I don't think you're winning with either player. Howard is an uberdouche with a bad back. It's not fun rooting for those guys.

 

[victreeb3l]

oh shit we got camby?

dont really care about jerome or toney d but gonna miss jorts and his porno mustash

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

Danny Green re-signed with the Spurs, 3 years at $4 million per year.

Spurs going for 65-17 this year.

I don't think you're winning with either player. Howard is an uberdouche with a bad back. It's not fun rooting for those guys.

Dwight has only been a guaranteed 50 wins no matter his teammates while Hibbert can't get 30 minutes a game.

 

[Red Blaster]

Dwight probably is not going to play unless Brian Shaw or Mike Malone is coach of the Magic, the tank is still in effect.

 

[KingKong]

Well, other than everything relating to basketball, they are close.



They can tank with him and not have to take back Bropez on a max contract.

How do you tank with him? Stern wont stand for drawing out the injury. And again, tanking with him is going to be awful for their fanbase which they obiously dont want. Theres a reason why theyre reluctantly making this deal with the Nets

 

[zero margin]

Pretty sure you have to own a smart phone to be a laker fan, Apple preferred or whatever the douchiest thing on the market currently is

 

[SamuraiX-]

Danny Green is definitely worth that $4M/yr.

Another decent contract!

Baby steps.

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

How do you tank with him? Stern wont stand for drawing out the injury. And again, tanking with him is going to be awful for their fanbase which they obiously dont want. Theres a reason why theyre reluctantly making this deal with the Nets

I doubt Stern will do anything if the Magic keep Dwight out all year with "injuries". And it wouldn't be worse than tanking with Brook Lopez actually playing.

 

[Rodeo Clown]

so what do you think reilo, let Batum walk, S&T or pay him more than he's worth

Sign and trade for Martell Webster and Wes Johnson imo

 

[Blackace]

I doubt Stern will do anything if the Magic keep Dwight out all year with "injuries". And it wouldn't be worse than tanking with Brook Lopez actually playing.

I bet Stern would rather see him in BK..

 

[alr1ght]

Send him to the d-league. He needs to work on his FTs.

 

[Blackace]

yup it is offical GAF can no longer talk about D12 rational anymore..

I'd think the fanbase would like that more than seeing him on the Nets.

yup it is offical GAF can no longer talk about D12 rational anymore..

Dwight killed rational long ago.

 

[thekad]

That Woj quote sounds like speculation to me.

The Magic GM isn't considering a Houston offer either because it isn't out there or because it isn't as good as the Nets or Lakers offers.

And Dwight would rather sign for the MLE for a couple years in Brooklyn than play in Houston.

 

[NervousXtian]

I remember when I thought drafting Martell was a sure thing.

Such a sad memory now.

he didn't win state with another NBA player on his highschool team..

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

he didn't win state with another NBA player on his highschool team..

And he was injured a lot in high school as well and lacked a lot of NBA skills.

Of course the Magic won't consider it. Doesn't mean Wizard Morey isn't trying to do it though.

and he is the cousin of JET...

 

[thekad]

Why would the Magic take Brooke and late firsts if there was a KMart/rookies/picks/take bad contracts deal on the table?

1 more note on today's practice. Thomas Robinson was engaging in his interview. Last time we saw him he was very quiet. Not so today.

:3

it's the angle of his face and that picture

can't unsee

Very happy with the Danny Green deal.

What a bargain.

 

[Truphenom]

Novak back, Camby shoring up the second unit but Jorts gone : /

At least Douglas is gone, maybe Talison can find some new material now, lol.
