As nice as it would be to see Dwight on the Lakers, if he comes there without an extension, it will be a HUGE distraction. Howard has a shit game? Media will be all over whether that will affect his decision to re-up. It would be pretty awful, from a media scrutiny perspective.

But we would still want him so long as his back heals correctly...

Hennigan also said he spoke with Dwight today and added "there's a chance, yeah" that Howard could return to ORL. Unbelievable.

DONT GO DWIGHT. STAY IN ORLANDO.

Good. Throwing a tantrum shouldn't get you what you want.

 

[darkside31337]

Hennigan is a real smooth talker.

Basically called the Nets offer (and Brook Lopez) fucking garbage in the most polite GM-speak kind of fashion.

 

[Black Mamba]

if dwight is staying, why would they let Anderson leave? That seems fucking stupid...

Orlando is a mess right now. The team isn't that good with him. holy fuck at that franchise. Knicks no longer big salary laughing stock.

But doesn't that also imply that he isn't getting offered anything beyond that garbage from any other team as well?

Dwight picking up his option has unforeseen consequences.

To be fair Nicholson kinda brings the same toolset...

and Anderson wasn't that good...

Doesn't mean Magic still won't trade Howard...but it won't be to Crooklyn

How have none of us made that name? We're slipping.

They are going to trade Dwight well before the season starts.

Hennigan isn't going to force himself to take a shitty trade just to end a little soap opera. It's the right move really.

probably, but he said the door was open for a return. Wish he didn't say that..

i honestly give up trying to figure out what is going on.

Time to see if Lakers bring in Hill or anyone else. Wouldn't mind Jodie Meeks.

What? Like they couldn't be any more different.

And your latter point is wrong but whatever.

..because it's nothing new?

Brooklyn has been called Crooklyn ever since I was born, which was in 1989...

It really isn't.

The team is stuck in a holding pattern now. The new coach you hire has no clue what he has to work with. The GM has no idea what other moves to make because any move could cripple potential trades.

That's not even taking Dwight's soap opera daily drama and nonsense. They should have traded him at last year's deadline instead of pushing for him to opt in.

What a mess.

Yeah he's going to see if HOU or LAL can up their offers. But it does screw up the roster building of both his team and whoever is involved in the Howard trade eventually. Specifically HOU. It's hard to build a roster around the dual scenarios of Howard coming and going full tank

This Andersen was by far their second best player and despite being a good rebounder needs a shot blocker and a driving or post threat to hide his issues and get him good shots.

You don't have to "build a roster" to tank. You sign young guys and old bums. Tanking isn't hard at all no matter how much DY likes to pretend otherwise.

Big is disappointed.

Crooklyn ain't new, but Crook Lopez should get some burn.

Regardless of who went to your team, I wouldn't hate. Why are you hating on my team like that?

 

[Liquidsnake]

Is there a youtube link to the Lakers press conference today?

 

[Sho_Nuff82]

Lakers fans would obviously cheer, but I don't want to see anyone else who hated the idea of JJ/Deron/Dwight suddenly loving the idea of Nash/Pau/Kobe/Dwight.

Tony Mejia: I'll reiterate, odds great DH is dealt, but what's been reported incorrectly is #Magic can't wait to be rid of him. Anything but emotional. 1 minute ago

la/houston/orlando 3 way makes the most sense, hennigan. you fuck.

 

[Outrage247]

Watching live practice on NBAtv, holy shit does Cousins look fat or what.

Lots of guys hated the former cause it prevented the ladder.

who is #25 on the select team?


Wall?

Edit: Cousins is hacking everyone....hard

[ryutaro's mama]

It's not crying--just hate this bullshit, anyone but the Lakers mentality.

Coffee Janitor would prolly be cool if Dwight went to the Heat...as long as it's not the Lakers!!!

BTW, you fell off after D'Antoni's firing decimated your stockpiled pics of him.

 

[iamshadowlark]

yea, dude is so fucking fast.

Yeah 25 is Wall. Cousins and Griffin going at it on each end of the court it seems.

 

[MorisUkunRasik]

I'm typing on my phone you prick =l.

 

[Knux-Future]

Best Holiday Future guys.


League a'int ready.

yea, dude is so fucking fast.

Too bad that's all he got tho....

his jumper is Rondo bad.....but worse.

I'm not even sure that's possible.

 

[h3ro]

why you gotta go there for

Spoiler

they're coming back for the olympics

 

[Mothman91]

How is Wall doing? Read earlier that he wasn't looking so great in practice.

 

[LegendofJoe]

Yeah 25 is Wall. Cousins and Griffin going at it on each end of the court it seems.

I want to see this.

Why you hating a squad made up of over-the-hill-veterans + Dwight?

They are no threat to anybody. They are old, so very old.


Or do you just hate all old people? Hopw about your grandparents? That's not cool.

Just let them play together and do their thing. Nobody will care. It'd probably be very boring... because they're old.

Yup.
