You're Fat, Pat! 98 Report post Posted August 9, 2012 I like what I'm hearing, believe it or not. The more teams, the more opportunities to dump our bad salaries. Let's not forget: Hennigan isn't just looking for additions...he also wants subtractions, as I think we all do. Regardless of if this goes down or not, I like hearing talks with four teams. The prospect of dumping ALL of our horrid contracts sounds marvelous to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't think the Houston deal is as good as people hope, it would've been done by now. I think they are just offering one young player, K-Mart and a couple picks for Dwight and a bad contract of our choice (J-Rich). Rob should want more.

NewSchool 49 Report post Posted August 9, 2012 What I don't get about this "reported" deal is if the Lakers are moving Bynum AND Gasol, why wouldn't they take one of are bad contracts Edit: The Nuggets are stealing ANOTHER good deal Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jareth Cutestory 678 Report post Posted August 9, 2012 I dig Gasol, Affalo, and hopefully a Philly rook and Ebanks plus picks and relief. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, if the rumored deals were true we would have jumped on it immediately. I'm hoping this LA/Philly/Denver trade rumor at least sends a message to Houston to maybe sweeten the pot a little bit.

I'm sure he does want more but why outbid yourself? If Hennigan thinks he can get the Magic back to contenders with a Dwight for Pau and Affalo deal then good luck with that. Because IMO 2 lottery picks + getting rid of a bad contract > 31 year old 19 million x 2 year PF/C and a 7.75 x 4 SG (a position already covered by JJ and JRich). Pau and Affalo will not make you contenders but you might be able to steal that 14th pick that Houston has owned for the last 3 years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Swiftraven 6 Report post Posted August 9, 2012 Come on now, you know Pau would be flipped to Minnesota or something. The guy is still a top tier power forward. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
