If I'm Orlando I would ONLY want Lowry and 2 the 1st round picks

Suns get new young all-star for aging vet
again, personally, I think Nash is too old. Even if he comes to the Raptors I don't see Raptors getting far. Also who knows what they would be trading away with the draft pick, could be ann all-star, could be a scrub.
This right here is looking like genius for the Magic and this new FO regime. Don't know why HOU wants to rent Dwight that badly.Originally Posted by franchise3
UPDATE (12:48 a.m. ET): Upon hearing of Sunday night's developments, one rival general manager told ESPN.com that he believes Houston's real aim is acquiring two top-10 picks this week to turn around quickly and offer both to the Orlando Magic as part of a considerable trade offer for Dwight Howard.The Rockets' willingness to trade for Howard -- even without the All-Star center's signature on a contract extension -- is an open secret around the league. But it's believed that two top-eight picks, assuming Houston managed to complete trades with both Sacramento and Toronto, would seriously pique the interest of new Magic general manager Rob Hennigan, who could then quickly start following the same sort of roster-building blueprint relied on by his previous employers in Oklahoma City.Acquiring those early lottery picks, though, only represents half of Houston's challenge if Howard is indeed the Rockets' target. The other hurdle is convincing Hennigan, who hasn't even been on the job for a week in Central Florida, to part with Howard so quickly. As much as he's been schooled in building through the draft while working alongside Thunder GM Sam Presti, Hennigan could opt to take a more measured approach, make one more run at trying to convince Howard to sign an extension before entering the final year of his contract and then trade him later in the summer if those efforts go nowhere.

Then Houston still has a max slot available for Deron Williams. By my math they could acquire Dwight for Martin, Dally and picks, sign Deron to a max deal and still have about $8 mil left in cap space.
Not sure about his contract but why not Martin too? or are you content with keeping JJ and JRich around? I mean in a rebuilding situation the deal is good and they be able to stay a lil competitiveOriginally Posted by solarius49

What you mean we don't read? You aint add in that extra stuff and that 3 team deal as posted still don't makes sense. Even now with you changing with a draft pick or money don't make it make anymore sense.Originally Posted by quik1987
Y'all don't read, I never meant Calderon straight up, of course money or draft picks would have to be involved.
Kobe was drafted with the 13th pick, y'all wouldn't want the 8th pick? Kobe ain't getting any younger.
Even with you including the #8 pick that is still a TERRIBLE deal for Bynum; I really can't believe you are serious. Any GM that even considered taking Calderon + the #8 for Bynum would be fired on the spot. You're trading a way the 2nd best C in the league for the 10th best or worst PG and a low lottery pick in a draft that doesn't look to have any surefire stars after the first pick, and definitely a crapshoot at 8.Originally Posted by quik1987

That's a good question, the Rockets have been pretty adamant about keeping Dragic. I wonder if the Rockets would consider having a backcourt of DragicWill...Originally Posted by ATGD7154xBBxMZ
To me if HOU does not have space to also sign DWill I think Dwight is a rental. I've become sold since "Dwight wanted me fired" fiasco that Dwight and Deron will end up on the same team before the end of 2013.
If Dwight wants to win now (or team with a legit star player), teaming up with what's left in HOU is not going to get you there.
My whole thing with those rumors and suggestions in place if HOU lands Deron what happens with my man Dragic?

Cuz nobody can prove either of them actually did anything to cause any person injury even with "eye witnesses" you can just say they were drunk. The only way they'd have a chance is if NYC had already pressed charges for assault or inciting a riot, then suing would beginOriginally Posted by DoubleJs07
