Magic have no leverage, I will offer a half eaten pizza and some whiskey dregs for Howard to play on my dodgeball team for a year. It’s the best offer presently on the table.

sidenote: Usual Suspects was on this weekend, and I never change the channel if it is on.

“1..2…3…4…5….6…Oswald was a fag.”

jayhawk…the problem is that the new regime coming in has to sell this trade idea to their owner and to their fanbase — many of which are big Howard fans. Given that many still think he can be convinced to stay, any trade that is presented has to be of sufficient quality for them to part with Howard.

Problem is that, in these instances, superstars rarely, if ever, bring back enough pieces in a trade for a team that moves them. (Actually, the last 3 major trades kinda have: Gasol-for-Gasol, Melo-for-Gallinari, Mozgov, and Chandler, Paul-for-Gordon, Aminu, Kaman and #10). I don’t know if you can convince the Magic’s fans that the best deal out there for Howard is a Lopez twin and a couple of late first-round picks.

“realisticaly Orlando needs to trade him and get what they can. Just don’t see it happening, though.”

See, this is what I don’t get. I understand that everyone in Orlando wants to win some games and sell some playoff tickets, but what’s best case for Orlando this year? A 3 or 4 seed and getting their teeth kicked in my the Bulls or Heat? Is that worth another year of all this drama? With a new regime coming in, wouldn’t you want to start fresh?

If you’re Orlando and you can’t move D12 anywhere else, why wouldn’t you take Lopez and NJ’s 1st rounders in ’13 and ’14? Yeah, they’ll late first rounders with Howard and Williams up there, but you couple those with the lottery picks you’ll have the next two years, you have a chance of building a good young roster very quickly. And you can’t tell me the Nets wouldn’t take that deal, as they’re probably a lottery team the next two years themselves if they don’t get Howard/keep Williams.

If you attempt to tinker with the ESPN Trade Machine in attempt to come up with something enticing the Nets could offer, I’ll scream in your face, “THERE IS NO FUCKING COKE,” like Keaton yelled at McManus in the Usual Suspects.

I recently mentioned to my wife that I wanted a Porsche. Specifically, this one, in black

Jason,

That one has a small back seat right? Recaro used to sell toddler seats which you could get in there. Totally family friendly.

I love that the terrible Gerald Wallace trade may end up being a multi-year setback for not one, but two franchises. If NJ still had their #1, it with Lopez/ballast would be on a red-eye to Orlando in a second, right?

I recently mentioned to my wife that I wanted a Porsche. Specifically, this one, in black, or this one (it’s the one Dylan McKay used to drive). My wife had no response. When I forced the issue, she rolled her eyes. I pressed on. She derisively laughed at me and left the room. The “discussion” was over.

Livin’ the dream.

Magic wouldn’t dare trade Howard now. Why run up the white flag so early before next season?

Specifically, this one, in black, or this one (it’s the one Dylan McKay used to drive).

That Porsche is sweeeeet. Didja sell your wife on the two of you taking romantic drives through the countryside at sunset?
