Re: Off season Rumors and Speculation
worst 8 plays of JaVale McGee (Warning, bad language in link)
http://www.hiphopstan.com/javale-mcgee-worst-video/
Meh, most of those weren't a big deal in my opinion. Saluting after a dunk? Meh. Getting triple teamed trying to get a tripl double? Meh. Plus the one announcer was right about him being fouled and I don't know if I would have called him for hanging after the dunk. Running over James Jones? Meh, that was awesome. He looked stupid running down the court the other way but did you see after he came back and the terrible pass his PG tried throwing to him? That play by the PG was more embarrassing. 8 plays in 4 seasons isn't that bad. And if you played for the Wizards, you'd probably give up too :P. But seriously, we could make the longest highlight reel ever of Hibbert having the ball stripped from him.

Re: Off season Rumors and Speculation
If he gives a clear indication that he won't stay, they can just flip him to Brooklyn and get the package the Nets offered for Dwight.Comment

Re: Off season Rumors and Speculation
I know this won't be a popular opinion but the McGee deal seems like a better deal than the Hibbert deal. I know people say he's a headcase but I don't know about that... people said the same thing about Bynum and Cousins and I don't think there is a person that wouldn't want either.
4yrs 58mil
5yrs 50mil
29.8mpg 12.8pts 8.8rebs 2.0blks 1.7asts 0.5stls 2.0to's 49.7% - Hibbert
27.4mpg 11.9pts 8.8rebs 2.5blks 0.6asts 0.6stls 1.7to's 53.3% - McGee 41gms w/ Nugs
20.6mpg 10.3pts 5.8rebs 1.6blks 0.3asts 0.5stls 1.0to's 61.2% - McGee 20gms w/ Wiz
He must be the biggest of headcases if the Nuggets would get that much better of a deal for him. He's a year younger than Hibbert and obviously way more athletic. If that's what he walks away with, I'm kind of disappointed by the Hibbert offer. I know we had no choice but that seems like a good deal for the Nuggets. They went from trading a guy that was making 67mil over 5yrs and is about to turn 20 for a guy that will be making 50mil 5yrs and is only turn 24. They're putting up similar numbers as well. I just like the move the Nuggets made and think they'd be getting a bargain with McGee.Why so SERIOUSComment

Re: Off season Rumors and Speculation
For the production Humphries gives, it's a GOOD contract for the Nets. I'd have really liked the Pacers to have been able to have gotten Humphries. The price was right, and a young player as a starter for years to come.Comment

Re: Off season Rumors and Speculation
I'd assume that Dwight just has to tough it out for a few months....reiterate that he doesnt want to stay nor sign any extension....and the Rockets are forced into a "MUST SELL" situation. If you are the Nets and you know that the Rockets MUST unload Dwight...would you offer that much to the Rockets?

There's a flaw in that line of thinking.

Re: Off season Rumors and Speculation
I think they are ready to play hardball till the end, and sell him on bigger money, good market, the Hakeem connection + an opportunity to get some free agents in near future.
Otherwise, it's silly. What's the chance that Howard/his agent doesn't push for Brooklyn, at least behind closed doors? IMO, very little. Their best bet is resigning him next summer, like the Nets did with D-Will.
Where would he go, anyway? across Texas to Dallas? Cleveland? Atlanta? None of those places will be worth losing a ton of money.Comment

I wouldn't.
But if you are the Rockets, don't you foresee that Howard won't commit right away? This media drama will continue for the whole year. And I think Morey absolutely expects it. If he's doing the trade regardless, I think he's ready to take the risk and go into the next summer with Dwight.
Maybe if he gets an amazing offer, an offer that's worth more than he gave up for Dwight, he changes his mind.
But he's not going to cut losses and run at mid season.Comment

Kwame Brown to Philly.

Kwame Brown's deal with Philly will pay him nearly 6M over two years. Player option for second year.Comment

Re: Off season Rumors and Speculation
I think they'd have both Bynum and Lopez available to them, at the very least.

The only Team that can make a deal with the Rockets would then be the Nets.....why would the Nets give them anything of significant value if you know that he's going to come to Brooklyn regardless?
To me, it makes little sense to assume that any Team that takes on Dwight can "try him out and convince him to stay and then try to send him to the Nets if it doesn't work out" while expecting to get a decent package in return.Last edited by CableKC; 07-13-2012, 02:04 PM.Ash from Army of Darkness: Good...Bad...I'm the guy with the gun.Comment

Re: Off season Rumors and Speculation
But that's the problem.....let's say that the Rockets trade for him and then learns that Dwight doesn't want to stay nor sign an extension ( something that we already suspect would likely happen ). At the Trade deadline....why would ANY Team give up a lot of value to the Rockets knowing that they must deal Dwight or lose him for absolutely nothing at the end of the 2012-2013 season while knowing that Dwight ONLY wants to go to Brooklyn when he becomes a UFA ( hence becoming a likely rental )?
