LeBron loves his girlfriend. There is no other woman in the world he’d rather have. The problem is, Dwyane’s not a woman.
I'm just not sure how much of these sources are flat out made up. The FOs of both teams are professionals and not faux tough guys like Portland's people.

The Rockets have conducted business with the Knicks multiple times in the past few years. It makes business sense for HOU just as much as NY to sign Lin. Waiting the full 3 days to match is just good team building procedure. NY may not be planning to sign anyone or make a trade, but why give up that small advantage it has with HOU having a cap hold?

Well Morey did bump up his offer, which might have pissed them off for real (though any team and gm should have seen this coming after he started letting go of his pg's) , but the rest could all be complete bs. NYpost is a shitty newspaper.

Rockets so far unable to hand deliver Lin offer sheet. Knicks refused to accept at team hotel. Glen Grunwald not at practice yest, gm today. Rockets had a courier knocking on doors at hotel, call room. Could not get someone to accept offer sheet yesterday. Rockets FedExed offer sheet to Knicks offices in NY, but league said GM Glen Grunwald must receive it himself. Clock to match at standstill.

Morey should jack up that sheet another 5 million just for these shenanigans.

Hahn just said the Rockets have to send the offer to the Knicks offices according to the rules.

Yeah, Morey should just cut Motiejunas while he's at it

Doesn't work. Grunwald has to get the sheet into his hands and he's not at the office.


Huh? Of course Grunwald has to get his hands on it, but per league rules it has to be delivered to the Knicks office officially first. Well that's what Hahn said, and he didn't just mention it in passing he did a whole segment on it.

This is awesome. I hope it devolves into some Carmen Sandiego shit where they're like "he is scouting at an undisclosed location in Europe. You have 48 hours to discover him. Seek the bronze eagle beneath the turqoise sun..."

Let them believe that the Knicks are looking for a silly loophole of that sort, who the fuck cares, conspiracy theorists are tiring if you care about them.

Anyway, I'm glad Papanikolaou is not there, he would not believe his eyes, this summer league team is infinitely worse than Olympiakos.

Of course he expects the 3 days. Nobody was expecting Grunwald to refuse to accept the papers to essentially make it 4 though.

It's hard to imagine one day affecting a possible trade but who knows

Supposedly Hennigan was taking a "deep breath" after not getting it done with NJ, so nothing was imminent

So Gilbert changed his mind and decided we could be the superteam instead of Brooklyn? Not that I'm complaining...

Unless Bynum is headed to Cleveland this is perfect. Hell leave Orlando and we can get him next year without losing the young guys.
 
what the hell are the Magic supposed to get in a three team deal with the Lakers and Cavs; LA wants Dwight and Cleveland wants Bynum

I'd be okay with freeing Lil Kyrie

Well, that was fun while it lasted. Rockets guy getting with NY GM Glen Grunwald to deliver the Lin offer sheet, start the three-day clock.
