Dwight Trade Imminent?

Last night, Andrew Bynum posted, "Does blue suit me?" on his Facebook page. Is he hinting that he'll be dealt to the Orlando Magic? #hmmm

Or maybe it's all the handicap spots he parks in?

Dunno who Tommy Dee is, but:

Word is in these ears Howard to Nets about done... Cleveland sounds like the 3rd team involved. Stay tuned.

The Nets would actually be pretty damn good. Better than the Knicks, anyway. Basically, East = Heat v. Nets, West = Thunder v. Lakers.

Nice!

A team could have easily screwed this up by offering Lopez a front-loaded contract.

Tommy Dee is a good source. Broke the Sergio trade a few years ago

Hmm...a lineup of Deron Is Deron/Joe Johnson/Gerald Wallace/Kris Humphries/Dwight Howard definitely looks good. I wonder who they would be giving up in addition to Brook Lopez...Marshawn Brooks, I guess? Can Teletovic be traded? I assume they'd take back some garbage contracts and give up draft picks. Either way, it looks like it'll be an incredibly thin depth chart, but a really interesting starting lineup.

I think Humphries, Marshon and Lopez would all have to be dealt away in a trade.

You can't trade free agents you just signed like Wallace, Teletovic, Deron.

Does Gilbert wanna assist forming another super team to take down the heat?

looks good for paying 9 figures in luxury tax

9 figures?

Actually I kind of hope it is the Lakers. All that horseshit about the lockout creating competitive balance and spreading talent around the league. Ha!

So true.

If he gets pick she probably does. Helps him depth to be a contender (there probably aiming at 3 years down the line) and hurts the Heat.

9 figures?

over the course of their contracts i would think yes

Thinking more on it: the NBA this offseason has become even more split between the haves and have-nots. Add the Knicks in there because of Melo, Amare and Kidd (and Lin, if he pans out), and possibly the Celtics, just because Rondo-Pierce-Garnett is still pretty damn good. We need one more super-team in the West, so this has to happen. (I bet Dirk has already begged for it.)

Might as well just turn the NBA into the EPL. Just pick 10 superteams (Both LA's, Both NY's, Boston, Miami, OKC, and Chicago, Spurs, and ... well maybe the Mavs since they won the championship 2 years ago) and relegate everyone else. Actually I might kind of like that. At least then the Blazers would have something to play for (to make the superleague). Until then we can try to make the playoffs in the STDL (Super Team Developmental League).

I've always loved the idea of promotion/relegation, just because it's the only sure way to avoid tanking. However, it was pretty sobering to see that the two teams in Spain that won promotion to the ACB actually turned it down, because they didn't have the money to meet the requirements of being in the top league!

But still: Nowitzki to San Antonio HAS to happen! The Spurs could even do a lopsided trade. And if the Spurs would give up Leonard AND Splitter, it would actually be a pretty damn good trade for Dallas.
