2012 NBA Offseason

  • BigAppleBuckeye
    I am a 15-20 minute walk from the new Barclays Center, looking forward to catching a bunch of Nets game next year. PS, I am one of the few NJ Nets fans out there, and have been going to Nets games since the early 90s (and went to both NBA Finals vs. LA and SA). From what I am hearing, the Howard deal is about done, although I don't want to celebrate too early. I admit, I owe Billy King an apology, I thought he was crazy for gambling the future on DWill and GWill without knowing if they would come back ... stones!

    Orlando would acquire Luke Walton, Brook Lopez, Damon Jones, Shelden Williams and picks.

    LOL

    Not at all. Bynum is a hell of a player. I think it's comical that Orlando went all Dan Gilbert and said they wouldnt lose Dwight like they lost Shaq, and now they have this awful deal.

    Bynum won't resign. So taking him
    Would be an even worse deal.

    I would take a package from Houston over Brooklyn i think. Give me lamb, terrence jones, parsons, and 2-3 first rounders (including the reverse lottery protected pick from Toronto) over Lopez, a bunch of scrubs, and what will likely end up being low 20s picks.

    I'd take that deal as well

    Lol.....good deal. By picks I hope you mean 4 first round picks....that group wouldn't improve the Bobcats.

    I don't think Orlando has much choice. The deal would be contingent on Howard resigned long term, so Howard gets to dictate where he is being traded to via his ability to be an FA next year. No way Houston gives all that for a one year loner.

    KG not retiring might be the best thing that ever happened to Sullinger.

    I've read they don't care about that and feel like they could persuade him to stay after getting him.

    Is this really the best deal the Magic can get?

    RIP The Orlando Magic

    Pacers "sign" Roy Hibbert. Essentially, signed him for what Portland did, but avoid the process of matching.
  • Trueblue23
    Most reporters are ripping Orlando for this possible deal.

    It better be more than that if your going to give up that much. Houston won't make the playoffs or have an all-star for the next 10 years if they do that trade.

    I don't give a fuck about Orlando... I find it funny that the Cavs are getting so much for Luke fucking Walton.

    +1.

    Lol I'm not melting down at all. I'm just really curious about what Orlando is thinking with that deal. LA and Houston can provide a better trade. Wondering if Orlando knows something we don't.

    Recent rumor is now that Charlotte may replace the Cavs because the Cavs won't take Kris unless he agrees to a 1 year deal. They don't want Kris committed for mor than a season.
