Fact is, very few teams are willing to gamble on Howard. Outside of NJ and the Clippers, there really is no threat out there.

hope you are right. because I don't see why he wouldn't sign with NJ. They are going to get better really quick imo.

lol anybody listening to smith rite now?

The fact they are talking again and the talks being positive makes me think this deal will still go down.

David West is a Free Agent & New Orleans has no intentions of keeping regardless if CP3 is there or not.

This is true. Smith's career has always been about yelling the loudest and getting attention.

They can still move Hedo to LA, but they'd have to take back Metta World Peace & Luke Walton.

You buy-out Walton & let Metta World Peace raise his trade value because he definetly can still put up good numbers in an elevated offensive role in Orlando.

Incorrect, Bynum & Walton for Hedo & Howard will work if LA use Sasha's trade exception in the deal. Both Walton & Bynum have a team option for 2012, that will shed over 20 million dollars for Orlando.

I think there should be contraction. There are just too many teams. All of this should have been forseeable to be honest. Who the hell is gonna sign up to play in Cleveland?

Yeah it's cool when your favorite player benefits from it, but when other guys do it? Enough is enough! Only one superteam allowed!

It's inevitable at this point.

I have a way to stop it, it's called surround your best player with a good team. Everyone has a right to be pissed at Miami, I'm sure there was collusion involved, but at the end of the day they still did things legally. And the whole superstar thing is really overstated. In 3 years I don't see Durant forcing a trade to New York when they already have Carmelo, Amare and Chandler on the hook.

So you've been cool all along with Miami and New York then? You've never once complained about how that went down at all?
