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.

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.Midstate01;1221586 wrote:U mad bro?

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.

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.Mulva;1221605 wrote:I would take a package from Houston over Brooklyn i think.

KG not retiring might be the best thing that ever happened to Sullinger.osu45804;1221625 wrote:Sullinger w/ 20 points & 6 rebounds in 24 minutes in his 1st Summer League Game

I've read they don't care about that and feel like they could persuade him to stay after getting him.sleeper;1221628 wrote:I don't think Orlando has much choice.

Pacers "sign" Roy Hibbert. Essentially, signed him for what Portland did, but avoid the process of matching.

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.Mulva;1221668 wrote:I've read they don't care about that and feel like they could persuade him to stay after getting him.

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

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.
