Rob Hennigan on the #Houston #Rockets: "The offer sheets, I think, limited some avenues to make deals."

Hennigan on #Rockets' offer: "Everything doesn't always appear as it seems."

Danny Ferry to @JeffSchultzAJC: “We had discussions with Orl about Dwight Howard. They were apprehensive to trade him within the division.”

Josh Robbins ‏@JoshuaBRobbins
MT @fisolanydn: Deron on Dwight: "Billy (King) did everything he could to try and get a deal done. They just didn't want to deal him to us."

When Morey and Simmons get back from London I would really like to know HOU's offer. Hennigan seems to be just spewing whatever. HOU's offer sheets didn't matter. He could have agreed to a deal in principle. If it was HOU's cap room, then it doesn't make sense given the contracts he took back in the final deal. So far unsatisfied with ORL's explanations.

Let it go man.

It's done.





Don't matter why Houston didn't get Dwight... they just didn't.

Enjoy Jeremy Lin.

I thin it's more of we got Dwight over Houston not getting him. Everyone but Lakers age wanted to see Dwight go anywhere but LA, but as usual we won again.

I've posted numerous times I didn't want Dwight. No interest in faking love and hoping he'd love us back. Doesn't stop me from not liking the 4 team league the NBA has moved to.


Saw funny Tweet on Bynum

What does it say for Andrew Bynum when neither Lakers nor Magic wanted him?

lol Bynum couldn't care less. He's going to get what he wants most: $$$$

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

I'm pretty sure only trading Bynum for the second best player in the NBA is sign of clear disdain from the Lakers.

Seriously not one Rocket fan here wanted Dwight after all his bs and hate for Houston, this is all about understanding wtf Orlando is so fucking stupid. Not sure why some people think the Rockets fans here are salty.

Though I haven't even bothered to check out Clutchfans lol

 

[MorisUkunRasik]

i love IWMTB's cold logical bitch slaps.

 

[friskykillface]

YOLO Bynum is best Bynum, he will attempt so many 3's B^)

 

[jobber]

How soon are we away from having an all star starting 5 that plays for the same team?

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

I'm still kind of in disbelief that Dwight Howard was traded for Moe Harkless, how do these things even happen...

 

[jjasper]

So apparently Robert Pera is continuing to lose all this money and just lost 365 million in a day. Yeah this is going to work out great.

I just checked b/c Morey did a local radio interview and was looking for a recap. Mostly the same as you. No one wanted him but are calling out Hennigan on his BS. Morey was evasive and no commented any question you'd want answered. Disputed Hennigan's characterization of deal but didn't elaborate

Too bad Minnesota refuses to trade Kevin Love for Meta or we could have one next year.

 

[HenryHSH]

This is the most solid Lakers bench we've had in a LONG time. They're not great, but better than anything we've had since I can remember.

Los Angeles Lakers ‏@Lakers
.@DwightHoward will be introduced for the 1st time as a Laker at 5pm PT. We'll be streaming it live on http://Lakers.com #DH12LA

Too many bearded caucasians.

 

[MorisUkunRasik]

Metta is on 710 espn in LA right now.

Started with "before I answer questions, I'd like to say I had a great meal."

"He should go to the press conference free ballin'"

 

[Tom Penny]

Kobe has a legit chance to outdo Pippen in 2nd fiddle rings.

Well he already has more rings as a second fiddle than Bird.

[MorisUkunRasik]

Metta "If we don't have the best record in basketball ever, blame me, throw tomatoes at my face"

Get your tomatoes ready fellas.

 

[HenryHSH]

HE or SHE. WAIT! There's no she in the NBA

 

[Nelo Ice]

I'm so glad Metta is still on our team.

 

[jobber]

i wonder if pau will chill with dwight on the bench after losing playoff games?

 

[giga]

Looks like Jordan Hill + protected 2025 picks is gonna be traded for Chandler.

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

Is Bill Simmons welcome in the Boston area?

Edit:

I'm not familiar with Jodie Meeks, but he has decent looking stats.

 

[Herpes Reasons]

metta just guaranteed 73 wins.

O it's true, its damn true! It will be an epic moment when Dwight holds up his jersey for the first time.

 

[ClovingWestbrook]

I don't know why so many of you can't just be happy for us. I mean damn.

This is how I feel every 5 min. I keep expecting Stern to do something nuts.

 

[ClovingWestbrook]

What happens first, Lakers get #17 or Celtics get #18

 

[Grover Cleveland]

Looks like Jordan Hill + protected 2025 picks is gonna be traded for Chandler.

Naw they're going to sure up their SF spot first.

I don't know why so many of you can't just be happy for us. I mean damn.

Can't lie, if Mike Brown doesn't fuck it up, that team will be mad fun to watch next year.

 

[Judderman]

Stern is going to come out, hit Kupchak with a chair, grab a mic and say "Basketball Reasons." and walk out.

if the lakers sign phil jackson, i quit life
