Sam Presti would have no choice.
Presti might do it, but I'm wondering if Dwight would agree to a trade to one of the smallest market in the NBA, even if it meant having a great chance to win multiple chips.
Perry Jones is falling because he's soft, thinks he's a 3 when he doesn't have the skill for it and because he's just the worst type of tweener. I said before that people overrated him because he looks like a player in open gym shoot arounds. His stock would be going up if he went into this whole process wanting to play the 4.

I've heard from SOURCEZ that the Dwight to Brooklyn dream is pretty much dead after they lost their lotto pick (lulz Billy King), he's now waiting to see the plan that Hennigan + the new coach have for him before making any decision.
lawl at you thinking Harden + Ibaka aren't worth Dwight considering having him on the roster without giving up YNB or Durant would actually make that stupid 5 rings proclamation of yours a possible reality.

? Where is this coming from?
He would be the greatest coach of all time if he
played roddy b more 
Even though I love both Harden and Ibaka and dislike Dwight, I'd lean toward saying yes.
Then again, if OKC chips with the current roster I see no reason to shake things up.
I think Harden and Ibaka are worth Dwight, but I don't know that Presti does. Harden is especially hard to part with--having a top 5 SG coming off your bench who can also handle the ball and distribute is a huge luxury and advantage over most teams.Red Blaster said:

Pretty much what I'd say.
Though I do have an inherent fear of overpaying players for too long.

no...
YES!

It's basically Harden for Dwight, right? I was under the impression Ibaka will walk after this season. Can't possibly pay both him and Harden with Westbrook and Durant's contracts, right? Harden will be due some money.
Id have to agree. But who gives a fuck really?

Also have any of you heard of Elaine Alden? Some supermodel that apparently Landry Fields is dating.
You really need to research these picks, this isn't a giveup draft year. Knicks can legit get a good bench player where they are, this draft is deep.
I think it's possible to keep them both, but flipping both for a third superstar would solve our conundrum.
It would have to be for a big, and the only bigs that are remotely worth that kind of value are Dwight and maybe, maybe Bynum. But fuck Bynum.
It's only tough because Dwight had back surgery recently.

Well, there's the whole resigning situation.
I lean towards Dwight quite a bit, but if I don't know...
It would be that rare modern NBA trade that makes sense for both teams involved--Thunder solve their financial problems and get better inside and defensively, and the Magic get two promising young potential stars to rebuild with.
Might even allow us the financial flexibility to keep Maynor since we'd be paying one star instead of two.
Damn though, I just dislike Dwight so much.
YNB - Maynor
Sefolosha - Reggie Jackson
Durant - whoever
Collison - drafted/traded for PF (maybe Big Baby?)
Dwight - Perk
Yeah, that would win a chip.

Hedouche is not an NBA player anymore
If we're giving you Harden and Ibaka, fuck taking Turkoglu.
Ryan Anderson is the only other guy I even want, Big Baby is probably overpaid slightly but I'd take him too to help our depth at PF.

Sorry, you can't do the deal without taking Turk really. It's why Dwight is stuck, Orlando isn't going to just give him up.
I was mostly exploring the hypothetical though. Hedo's not the worst guy to get stuck with.
If you want Dwight that is.

Interesting, I never looked at the Thunder's cap myself. I just have heard in many places they can't keep both.

He grew up in LA
If those glasses make him shoot better he can wear them as much as he wants.
Bennett has said they're willing to pay the luxury tax to keep the team together, but who knows if that's true or not.
I can't imagine Presti taking on a contract as terrible as Hedo's. One of the worst contracts in the league.benjipwns said:

I can't either, but I guess was interested on your take, contract aside.
Contract aside, I'd take him. He could come off the bench and try to take over the role that Harden played.
But damn that contract is awful.

Lowry will be gone.
You can't have a starting PG who literally does does not want to play for the head coach and has come out and publicly said so. They should be able to get something back for him. Wouldn't surprise me AT ALL if he ends up in LA and I get that puss Gasol back.
That is a doomsday scenario for me.
Who says no? You immediately get rid of Lowry's contract and the sure-to-come internal conflict he will soon bring upon the Rockets organization for the low price of a slightly used, expiring Reke!
Fucks not included.

Reke would take Martin's spot so that means I'd DO IT
I do have a feeling that I am going to end up with Gasol on this squad tho...

God I want Dragic back. Let Nash go get a ring and rebuild this organization the correct way. Alas, I have no hope for a rebuild with this regime. Even if they chose to do it, I don't have the confidence that they would make the right deals/picks.

You just gave me an amazing idea.
Okafor/Lowry to the Lakeshow
Kevin Martin to the Wiz
Gasol to the Rockets

John Canzano is a liar...so maybe not.
Is there a trade somewhere that ships out Mike Brown, if not, they're still looking at an early playoff exit.
Anything is better than a tainted Bobcats pointguard.

Fixed cause Moris do what he want.
Morey wouldn't
Dragic
Lee
Parsons
Pau
D. HOWARD
Assuming scola gets shipped out if pau gets here...i'm pretty sure morey would pull the trigger just so he GETS HIS BIG NAME PLAYER YALL
You act like I differentiate between the two!
