Lakers, Rockets, Magic discussing three team deal [Archive]

#41 Shoot Em Up

07-10-2012, 05:28 PM

in second thought...this deal makes sense cuz Rockets dont care if they dont re-sign bynum...and magic gets a shitload of draft picks.....still..the lakers dont have a commitment from Howard.

Rockets are reportedly on Bynum's "list". So he'd resign with them blood niggas for sure.

Lakers aint getting Howard. he's a biiitccccchhh

Doubt it happens but that makes sense. McHale working with Bynum if he stays healthy would be filthy. Rox send the young assets to Magic and they tank for the number one in a weak draft shit they won dat shit thrice already. Would hate to see Bynum in our conference but I call bullshit.

Howard would sign. If Nash could make Gortat half as effective as Amare in pnr if Dwight comes Nash would get him so many easy dunks. LOL at pressure on Dwight ... Kobe gets all even though Heat are a super team. If Kobe can't win with Nash and Dwight haters will blame him and Brown ...

Why would Bynum extend if he is trade bait? Oh wait extra year salary ... Still, not wise to leave him dangling shit or get off the pot. If I'm Magic I make Lakers and Rox eat one shit contract each. Who is gonna run PG for Rox?

07-10-2012, 06:05 PM

That might end up the best deal they can get for Howard; it's certainly better than what Brooklyn is offering since glass knees can't play point, assuring the Rockets of plenty of disappointing seasons and high draft picks to Orlando going ahead.

That is true--however, the longer this shit drags on the more poisonous the situation becomes. That, for the better part of Bynum's notoriously weak temperment, will then cost the Lakers an already disatisfied center. Well, I mean, we'd be trading for one with the attitude as bad as Bynum.

DPG21920

07-10-2012, 07:19 PM

They absolutely should too. They have nothing that is so good that the risk is too great to take a chance on Dwight. The Nets situation looked far more bleak when they traded for Deron, but they were able to pull it off. If HOU can get Dwight, they should do so without thinking twice.

If he fails, they will simply be right back where they are now - medicore.

phoenix219

07-10-2012, 07:21 PM

Trading for a player with no guarantee that he's going to resign is stupid. Remember back in the day, the fiasco Phoenix had with Antonio McDyess, and what it cost them?

Houston has almost no chance of keeping Howard, but has a chance of keeping Bynum. This is why they would involve LA...

Clipper Nation

07-10-2012, 07:23 PM

The more I think about it, the more those rumors sound like BS, tbh... Rockets would be helping the Lakers get a player that they also want, they'd be passing up the best center for the second best tops, and the Magic get nothing out of it...

Pelicans78

07-10-2012, 07:23 PM

I actually liked all 3 picks of theirs. They have alot of young assets that could be moved. They could be a decent team with Dwight, Scola, Parsons, Martin even though Scola's rebounding and defense are average at best.

The Gemini Method

07-10-2012, 07:23 PM

Houston would definitely fill the void left by Yao with the straight-up trade for Dwight. I know the perceived notion is that he won't resign in Clutch City, but if you have the chance to sign him and he has a change of heart, Houston then has the cornerstone in which to build a nice future in the Southwest division. I mean, with the Spurs in flux and the Mavs not having the best of luck in trying to team Dirk with Deron and Dwight. It is a calculated risk that may have the Rockets in a way better situation than the past few years or even in the past decade. However, that hinges on whether Howard can remain healthy...if the back injury/surgery was truth and not a way to keep the center from being a detriment to the rest of the team.

Pelicans78

Dwight has been see-sawing making the Nets his exclusive team and preferred team for months now. Lakers likely can resign him if they got him, you would have to be sniffing paint to think anything he says is not susceptible to change. The Lakers have also been pursuing him knowing he says he would only sign to Nets. However, the Rockets might want Dwight but the Magic have made it fairly clear that they prefer to deal with Lakers or Nets. Bynum is their ideal package, Lopez is what they seem to be willing to settle with, but Rockets can't offer too much that makes sense.

Bynum is also adding to the Drama, but it's likely just him trying to stay with LA and he would settle for Magic if he had to. If not, Rockets would love to get Bynum since they can get somebody who will sign to them for sure and Magic will likely get a better package than Nets.

A straight up Houston - Magic deal will leave Magic hosed worse than with Nets and Rockets would still be in a mess.

Actually a line-up of Kobe, Dwight, Pau, Nash, and MWP can and will solve your coaching problem :lol and let's not over react...Brown is not a horrible coach he's just not an A lister he's a B lister...if the trade goes through it will likely include J-Rich...we already resigned Ebanks, if we sign Grant and Jordan Hill our bench is set...and finally Pau playing like shit will likely be a thing of the past with Nash...Nash will rejuvenate Pau and take the pressure off him..Pau will become our 4th option with Nash and Dwight...that should allow Pau to plau freely :lol

I have no idea why people are so scared of Dwight to LA, it's not gonna solve the major issues on the team.

bynum for DH would be a lateral move for LA at its finest. bynum plays a decent offensive game at the low post which DH doesn't have, and bynum's presence as an offensive threat has been quite an impetus that helps propel the ship.

DH might be a slight upgrade in defense but at the other end of floor he's inept & limited. dude used to be a beast with occult athleticism but no one knows how much that's left in him after the back surgery

Doubt Toronto will be playing bad enough to give the pick a good chance to get Shabazz which is likely the only notable player in the next draft.

They might want to build through the draft, but getting a pick for the next draft isn't as enticing as you seem to think.

I haven't read that Magic want to start from scrap, IIRC they do want a player to build around sooner rather than later. They take a crack at doing that with overpaid Lopez, but not anybody Rockets can offer.

Like I said, Rockets give the weakest deal and quite frankly they are pretty retarded to even try getting Dwight when he's a guaranteed rental. They are just going to extend how long they remain irrelevant if they want to go about swallowing contracts and giving up picks.

They might want to build through the draft, but getting a pick for the next draft isn't as enticing as you seem to think.

I haven't read that Magic want to start from scrap, IIRC they do want a player to build around sooner rather than later. They take a crack at doing that with overpaid Lopez, but not anybody Rockets can offer.

Like I said, Rockets give the weakest deal and quite frankly they are pretty retarded to even try getting Dwight when he's a guaranteed rental. They are just going to extend how long they remain irrelevant if they want to go about swallowing contracts and giving up picks.

You are literally the only person I have seen that A) isn't a Nets fan, and B) thinks the Nets deal is better than Houston's. To each his own, I suppose. Good day.

No chance this happens imo. Dwight will probably stay in Orlando until the deadline and NJ will probably see how the landscape of the 2012 season will look like and then make another move.

Because not everyone enjoys bandwagoning.

The Dwight rental is a solid gamble, just like NJ did with Deron. IF he wants to leave 30 mil on the table, his choices are Dallas, Atlanta and Utah next year. That's a gamble we're willing to take. Also, if we lose him, fuck it. we'll tank and get a good draft pick. Houston has finished as the best team to not make the playoffs the last 3 years running, virtually stuck at being mediocre. Whether he stays or goes, we finally get out of Neutral.

In short, if you can get a top 3 player in the league, you do everything in your power to grab him and figure out everything else later.

he'll probably force a SnT deal and move elsewhere before the end of 12-13 season imho. dude's like 26 and when he starts to show signs of aging and lose athleticism, he'll turn TOSB really quickly. fuck knows if he can recover to 100% what he used to be and the only way he signs extension with rockets is if he knows he's done

a broke big with a long shitty contract would be the last thing the rockets want to get stuck with, they got robbed & fucked by the 7'6 piece of shit and they ain't stepping in to the same ditch a second time tbh

Houston might end up like Dallas if they not careful ... Bynum is not a bad haul. Drew may not be happy he is getting no love ..

Pass, come on dawg, Brook Lopez is about to sign a 5 year 78 million dollar deal. 78 million fucking dollars. You really think Orlando is enticed by having to pay him that kind of money? Truth is, Brooklyn's offer is shit, if it was legit, deal would have been dne already.

they're proposed to give each dude a 10+ m/yr scale of contract so as to make the combined salary match that of DH + a garbage contract that the magic want to shed, orlando ain't that dumb to accept such an offer imho

No, he won't. The Rockets, Lakers, Hawks, etc would not trade him. The whole point is calling his bluff. Besides he's not fucking his image up even more.

This is the NBA. You need a star to win. Fuck our roster, get the star and assemble a roster around him.

Bynum is better for the Rockets imo he actually wants to play for us. Howard is a crybaby prima donna that would be at best a one year rental.

Presti has been responsible for some great late picks, like Parker and Ibaka. Morey is nowhere close to Presti when it comes to the draft.

I don't know what the fuck you plan on building with 14th picks every year. You have to be bad enough to get top 5 picks, and if Howard leaves, they can do that. If he stays, its a win too.

I have no problem going with D-Mo and Scola at Center and PF with Parsons at small forward. All we need to do now is to unload some of our extra power forwards for some guards and a backup center. Even if we get Aaron Brooks to run the team, it's still pretty good.

1. :lmao No. Neither Scola nor Donatas are Centers. Go try that shit on 2k.

2. lolwut? :lmao:lmao:lmao:lmao:lmao:lol:rollin

Indazone

07-12-2012, 10:12 AM

Are you nuts? D-Mo is a PF-Center. Scola is a PF. D-Mo is a 7 footer that can shoot outside and in and coverted on 54% of his postups.

Pelicans78

07-12-2012, 10:16 AM

D-Mo is a 7 foot PF. Too thin to be a center right now. That's like saying Dirk is a center. His game is similar to Dirk. He's not a center.

Bynum would do well with a defined role and a coaching upgrade…IMO he is done being Lakers trade bait…Bad knees and all Bynum would be a nice player for the Rockets...

Dwight Howard Trade Rumors: If Rockets Can't Close Deal, The Lakers Might, According To Report

http://houston.sbnation.com/houston-rockets/2012/6/28/3124680/dwight-howard-trade-rockets-lakers-magic-nba-draft-2012

READ MORE: Dwight Howard (C - ORL), Houston Rockets, Los Angeles Lakers

Dwight Howard's name is looming large at Thursday's 2012 NBA Draft, with the Houston Rockets the most talked-about destination. The Rockets are working to pair picks and move up to the Top 5 and land talent that might potentially be traded to Orlando for Howard. However, Fox Sports' Sam Amico is reporting that if Houston doesn't close a deal for Howard by Friday, the Los Angeles Lakers are the next logical suitor for Howard:

Source close to situation says if Dwight Howard isn't dealt to Rockets today or tomorrow, Lakers fans may have reason to get excited. "Rockets are exhausting resources. If it's not enough, (Lakers) will likely move in within the next few weeks."

One easy way to predict if the Rockets can land Howard? If Houston can't land a Top 5 pick, it's likely Howard's fate will lie elsewhere.

For more on the 2012 NBA Draft and the Houston Rockets, check out The Dream Shake and SB Nation's NBA page.

Aw hell, I forgot about the backside of this fiasco. Making the MF'ing Lakers even better. Add Howard and Nash to a team with Kobe, Gasol, ...o holy crap!
