If I am Orlando with that deal,I could care less about pissing Dwight off. Evans wants out of Sac and had his moments in his career and still young. I think Evans will be a good player in this league. Kevin Martin is still a nice piece just injuries get in the way, and you get the 5th/18th picks in draft????




Done. Could careless about a player that will not be on my team anyway. Maloofs might be stupid enough to make it a 3 way trade and have Turk come back too.

 

[|A-Man|]

I knew HOU was serious about theirs ever since they tried to pull off that deal for Pau last summer, now they going all in on Dwight.

They couldn't afford that

So if Dwight goes to Houston he'll be the ambassador of two all-star hosting cities that he wants no part of. Awesome.

rck - your right,  they would want to make room for Outlaw to start at SF.    my bad

Him leaving Houston for Dallas after a year would be even more funny as well.

RCK- and you guys saved us a little more money after we amnestied him.     Win/Win for all involved.............

But I think it's safe to say, even Dwight doesn't know what he wants with his bi-polar self, as we've seen in the past year. So, who really knows. Plus, if he walks, he walks. He's gonna feel salty leaving that extra year on the contract the Rockets could give him. Re-up or clear up his number off the books. Win win, I think. Still gotta get him over first, though.

 

[Peep Game]

I'm digging all this willing and dealing the Rockets are trying to do. There's a lot of money on the table, so if Dwight were to walk, oh well, we should have
been rebuilding since the 08/09 playoffs anyway. At least Pau isn't a Rocket and CP3 isn't a Laker.

 

[kevin cleveland]

And at least Scola, Martin, Odom and whoever aren't Hornets. Right, CP?

smokescreems being laid everywhere by Petrie

FWIW: Reke has still been working with Geoff Petrie. Emphaisis on midrange, pull up game. I don't think Kings are trying to move Reke.

Dwight is going where Deron goes.. If Houston can't create the cap space to sign Deron, they're wasting their time with Dwight.

I think so, too. But getting Martin off the books, helps. Or try and get his BFF Josh Smith

 

[N41D]

Couldn't they trade Scola pretty easily? I've gotta think they could find someone to take him and get his money off their books...

Just not sure they can pull all this off before Deron decides.

 

[franchise3]

Martin is in his last year of his deal I think, making him easier to move.

 

[Peep Game]

I still wanna know how Scola got that amazing highway robbery deal. He's a good player, but damn

That contract is outrageous.

 

[vc3fan]

Rockets can still Amnesty someone as well. They did not do it to someone last year. So Scola can be handled that way.

 

[darthska]

Srs: will Josh, Dwight, & Deron happen?

 

[vc3fan]

Ska - Deron Williams and Amy Williams just purchased a highrise apartment from Bruce Rattner's development company about 10 minutes from the Barclays. Again, I am not one to paint that picture on here (Most of you guys know that) but I think it is more of a Chance of Dwight/Jsmoove then the three.


One of the other scenarios floating around is a three way trade with the Nets where Houston gets Brook Lopez. I agree with some of the pundits saying Houston and Orlando should just deal outright. But the fear of Dwight not committing and having the advantage of having a Young a center signed that has also worked with The Dream is some of the reasoning. I would assume already with none of the details leaking that MarShon Brooks would be going to Houston too. Just does not make sense from the Nets fan perspective why Houston would do it.



Just something I heard/read as a possibility.

Im assuming the rockets made the offer but they prolly told David aldridge otherwise to keep the trade on the low, It says sources told them otherwise.
