Maybe it will come from this. Dwight gave us 7 great years. If he wants to move on, and clearly he does, I wish him the best and will miss having him on our team.

otis_smith 15 Report post Posted July 14, 2012 Asik matched? Lin matched? More deadweights Houston can take from us http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YKUOB8MN4Kc Not yet, but both teams plan to match Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Knappy1 16 Report post Posted July 14, 2012 Here is a link reported the Bulls will match Asik. http://chicago.sbnation.com/chicago-bulls/2012/7/13/3157315/bulls-rumors-omer-asik-offer-sheet If Lin and Asik are both matched - would Houston possibly take Hedo, Duhon, Big Baby and JRich - they all can play. If they keep a couple of the young guys with Dwight - they would have something - they have about 8 guys who can play - we take three of the young guys, they still have some left.

Knappy1 16 Report post Posted July 14, 2012 Here is a link reported the Knicks will match Lin. I did not realize Dragic is going to the suns.....Let's ship them Jameer and sign Ish as our starting Pg #thetankison http://www.cbssports.com/nba/blog/eye-on-basketball/19578952/jeremy-lin-officially-signs-offer-sheet-with-the-rockets By the way, is the jameer deal finalized yet? good thing is that if Knicks match they'll wait the full three days - I don't want this drama to end too soon.

Jones and their 2013 draft picks that are owed to them...#thetankison Dump d12, baby, duhon, and jrich...That gives them a team to compete with and we don't gut the entire team/young talent.

masazasm2 16 Report post Posted July 14, 2012 The proposed deal was speculative, but the actual report that Houston is close is solid IMO. Hakeem was told to be ready to talk to Dwight when the deal goes down, Scola was amnestied before the deadline, and McHale wasn't very cryptic about what the Rockets are up to during his interview in the Houston summer league game. It seems we are just waiting for the Lin/Asik storylines to play out. I could be completely wrong though. This^ The deal has to wait until the Lin/Asik offer sheets are settled. Sooner NY & CHI match offers the sooner the deal gets done. Teams have 3 days after offer is signed to match, last year it was 10 days, glad they changed that. Coincedence that Henne says moving attention to hiring a coach? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nyce_1 311 Report post Posted July 14, 2012 Lamb & Parsons are a must. White & Jones are up for debate. I'll leave it up to Rob, and the 2 asst GM's, to make the best decision. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jopoc 0 Report post Posted July 14, 2012 Dwight's problem is he cannot seperate business Dwight, from Normal Dwight. Normal Dwight, probably mostly wants to be with the Magic Business Dwight wants a bigger market, and a ring immediately. What's funny is before Dwight turned to "Business Dwight" is that his image was at an all time high. Unfortunately for him he has lost his way, I would like for him to one day find himself again he's just not the same D12 anymore. i think that businesswise, the "dwight howard brand" wont be the same again. i dont think he will be making more money like before unless a big "image revamp" is made on him. dwight screwed his brand big time.
