The Neighborhood Bully

With the reaming we're getting in this deal, we should easily be number 1 next year.

Probably negotiating for a box of cracker jacks thrown in. The prize inside might be the best return we get.

Hopefully they are with someone other than the Magic.

OKC writer speculating on Howard trade.

If you'd taken the shot at the other end of the horse, I'm not sure I would be able to tell who was who.

So Dwight thinks the grass will be greener in Dallas? From Zack Lowe on SI.com

http://hoopspeak.com...looks-terrible/ Some morning reading material regarding Dwight's game.

We already had the book, can a movie deal be far behind?And who would play Dwight, SHAQ????

I'd rather watch a whole team of floppers than endure another season of Dwight flip flop between staying and going.

SI.com had an article up the other day that showed the 50 highest paid athletes, and Dwight dropped from 10 to 14. His earnings were estimated at $14.5M in salary and $11M in endorsements. The 3 NBA players ahead of him were Kobe (#4 at $48M), LeBron (#5 at $46M), and Durant (#11 at $26M). Rose will pass him when his extension kicks in.

Assuming Dwight gets traded for picks and young players,Hennigan made the right choice when he signed Jameer. He can lead the team for a few more years, and he provides leadership intangibles. And I think JJ will stay as well unless we get an offer we can't refuse. Someone has to show the young guys how to be professional. We don't want the lockerroom to turn into a team of knuckleheads (see Washington Wizards).

I'm starting to think all these Dwight rumors are coming from Stern's office to keep the NBA buzz going during the offseason. We'll know for sure if we hear rumors involving the New York Yankees (they need pitching) and New York Jets (Tebow could straighten out his morals).

Except the Nyets new owner, where the Russian owner apparently craps gold bricks.

Would the Rockets first round picks suit up before signing a contract?

I think Morey is getting called on his rebuild on the fly philosophy since Yao retired. His job is probably on the line and will do whatever it takes to acquire a superstar.

I don't think the clock's started yet.

Link?

Henny's going over the economic impact to the downtown bars with Buddy Dyer if Duhon leaves. The man is thorough.

If Henny pulls this off and gets rid of all the bad contracts, OKC is going to be calling offerring Presti and 2 firsts to get him back.

How many more days before we Magic fans beat the Iran hostage record?

But we need another PF.

How many free slurpees have you had today? And how fast did you drink them?
