Courtskils34 6 Report post Posted July 19, 2012 After this is all over, I don't care if I never hear or read the word "sources" again. It has become a four-letter word to me. Or the names Chris Broussard and Steven A Smith Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dwight Shrute 10 Report post Posted July 19, 2012 I can't believe this crap is still going on. I guarantee Dwight will be too chicken to return to Amway with his new team. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Live or Die Magic 383 Report post Posted July 19, 2012 I am looking forward to Henny's presser addressing all the rumors being put out by insder "sources". Care to stomp on my toe while you're at it? I can't believe this crap is still going on. I guarantee Dwight will be too chicken to return to Amway with his new team. I absolutely believe he is dreading his eventual return to the Amway Center. He will be miserable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Franchero MVP 391 Report post Posted July 19, 2012 Oh god no, if henny trades D12 to Lakers he will already be worse than Otis. Bynum sucks...we need cap relief, picks, and rookies. Houston can offer all of that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the notorious S.A.C. 89 Report post Posted July 19, 2012 ESPNChrisPalmer chris palmer Bynum's checklist: block trade, sign extension with Lakers, inherit kingdom in 2 years. think it's false, no reason for bynum to sign an extension in only 2 years Bynum's real check list: get max dollar deal, inject knee with platlet rich plasma, forearm shiver to some point guard, chuck a few threes midway through the second quarter, more knee injections....retire fat and happy.

30Assists 342 Report post Posted July 19, 2012 Could be posturing by Les Alexander. Reports a few days ago were that we were offering the farm for Howard. He wants everybody to know he's not that desperate. Sounds like a leverage ploy and something to fall back on to save face if Houston can't get a deal done. Agreed with the idea it's just a negotiating tactic. Were we talking about Brook Lopez instead of Dwight, sure - you'd probably want to see what those rookies could do, at least through part of the regular season, rather than trade for a center with questionable abilities. But this is THE #1 center in the game, the best center since Shaq: for a few rookies? You pull that trigger every time. Totally makes sense the Rockets wouldn't want to give up all their picks for Dwight and garbage, though. So? They're haggling. Makes sense. I still say that, if we trade Howard, it'll be to the Rockets for something similar to the deal we've been hearing about. This is just posturing. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dwight Shrute 10 Report post Posted July 19, 2012 I absolutely believe he is dreading his eventual return to the Amway Center. He will be miserable. I think Shaq chickened out from his first return to the Orena. And, Shaq is/was nowhere near as weak-minded as Dwight. I can't wait for the day Dwight returns!!!!!! We're gonna make Lebron returning to Cleveland look like a picnic. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

0rland0fan 53 Report post Posted July 19, 2012 anyone read this?? My link Brian Schmitz is out of his mind. Why would we prefer to have a so so team each year rather than a few bad ones rebuilding and then actually compete for a championship?? This is the type of thinking that scares me and makes me think that we are just going to try to patch it up and keep chugging along with all our bad contracts and sorry players. We tried the "winning now" approach. Look where it got us. Brian Schmitz is dumb. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
clutchcity34 0 Report post Posted July 19, 2012 Here is what I think happened when it was reported LAL and Orl were recruiting Cleveland to facilitate the three team deal. Houston was offering Martin plus picks for Bynum. Nothing more. Orlando/LA go to Cleveland to try and get rookies or Thompson in the deal as well, they refuse. I don't see us giving up much for a year of Dwight or Bynum. I think the max we go for Bynum is Martin, Patterson, Toronto pick, and Dallas pick. Maybe Morris was thrown in as well. And now with the reports of Dwight willing to sign an extension with LA, I think that is all we will offer for a year of Dwight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
A Better DJ & Photographer 450 Report post Posted July 19, 2012 I may be in a minority here but from what I've been hearing about what Good Job Rob wants for our Team Andy V might be exactly what he wants. The dude hustles all game and plays good D. He is a top 10 on a decent contract and packaged with a bunch of picks, rookies, and getting rid of Hedo, Duhon, and the Riches we could be in pretty decent shape to build with. 10.8 and 11.5 last year is not terrible and 67.2 from the line will be refreshing. Combined with Baby that is a pretty good defensive middle. I would ALMOST rather have him than Bynum and If Rob sees him as the way to go I'm onboard. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
