Dwight would only be going back to LA for money reasons. Kobe clearly hurt his feelings and he hates playing under Pringles. So they can make as many billboards featuring his corny ass all they want, but it's not going to work.

Does anyone else find it strange that so much noise was made about the Rockets trading TRob for cap space and nothing happened? I guess they're not 100 percent confident that Dwight will sign, so they're hedging their bets. Personally, I think Terrence Jones is a better prospect so I would have traded him for a future pick regardless of what Dwight does.

I got to see what the knicks do before I hand the Nyets the atlantic. If they keep JR they will still have a 50+ team core and with both philly and the celtics tanking (and with the raptors not drastically improving) I could see them maybe getting into the top 4 again just off those 8-12 wins.
At its core the Nyets roster is a PR move (why do you think the trade was done on draft night without involving this years picks?) and the guy in charge of making all those pieces work, just started his job. There is too many pieces in the air for me to call it yet.
As for the Wiz they still aren't top 5 either but in the top 7 sure....
I remember when the everyone praised the Rockets for trading for him and i said i didnt like the move.
Now they want to get rid of him for nothing.

Purely for cap reasons. I'm sure they'd ship Greg Smith or Royce White if the made the same salary or had as much market value.

How the hell is GS gonna meet with Howard? Aren't they in cap hell?
The KG + Deron duo might be enough to turn them
It would have to be a sign + trade.

If you would trade the 4th pick in the NBA for salary cap reasons, you have already given up on him.

the more I think about it the more I feel Pacers should just give the celtics Hill, Lance (or green cause lol the celtics are desperate) , and 2 future first and get rondo
Rondo
George
Granger
West
Hibbert
Come on that team is a monster. maybe grab a half decent SG and a vet min PG and boom

That would be dope.
Pacers need some backcourt help. I think they and Chicago are the only ones who can take out Miami next year. Nets are getting a lot of attention right now, but I honestly don't know how good they'll actually be.

They'd have to give them Granger to give it teeth, the Celtics could probably flip him for another pick later.
I could be talked into Klay and Harrison Barnes

and lol if the Pacers somehow send Rondo to the Pacers. They will have basically done everything they could to fuck over the Lakers and Heat.

I guess celtics could send Crash to the pacers for granger.... Pacers still get the best player in the trade and they don't really need granger...
Crash is built for fuckball.
Its what he was designed to do. What he was destined to do.

Crash is dead inside bro.

That's why he's perfect for fuckball. All former Larry Brown stalwarts are a little dead inside.
But he's not as dead inside as you.

Was referring to the Celtics, making the Clips, Nets, and possibly the Pacers better.

as much as id like to see rondo playing on larry birds team, id rather them not trade with the pacers. if youre trading with a team like the mavs, you can at least get future unprotected picks back which could be worth a lot after dirk retires. the pacers on the other hand are built to be a top team for the forseeable future. they cant give us anything that would help besides cap relief (which id rather not have knowing dannys love for josh smith)

ugghh, Smith... He would only be good as a running mate with Rondi and that is not following the Missiom Wiggins transcript..
Your greatest sin
it warms my heart to see knux optimistic
it's going to suck when philly loses out to Boston and LA in the lottery :/

Boston or LA... Stern posthumously can only save one at a time.

as long as we get the 3rd pick I'll step away from the ledge.
I'd be okay with Parker or Randale
stern isn't saving Boston, he could never do that, look what happened with duncan and durant. silver can be Boston's savior.

Silver is MJ's man. It's ok though, you guys can get in line behind us.

I'm just excited to see Mav fans claim they never really wanted him in the first place after they don't sign him.

I'm not gonna lie, I'll be pretty bummed if we don't get Howard. The fact that he's even meeting with teams other than us and Lakers leaves me with a bad feeling. Houston sports...

The best part of the offseason is going to be seeing what desperate team throws money at Bynum. That is going to keep me laughing for a while.

Would still be better than throwing money at Ellis.
What if a team threw money at Ellis and Bynum?!.
