Four Team Deal Sends Howard to Lakers

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
Re: Three-Way ORL/LAL/Cavs Rumor

So are people gonna say Windy doesn't know shit either because he isn't telling you what you want to hear?
 
Re: Three-Way ORL/LAL/Cavs Rumor

Just take Bynum without the extension. Fuck it. Compete, grow, show Bynum we have a nice future, throw him the max. Pretty good chance he'd stay with us over joining the awful Rockets or the old Mavericks.

Yeah, but he is still "guessing". The deal probably won't happen because Orlando wants to much and that is the way it has always been.
 
Re: Three-Way ORL/LAL/Cavs Rumor

Windy believes without the Bynum extension and giving up Andy and multiple draft choices, the deal is not a slam dunk and the franchise would be in bad shape if Bynum walks.

He said top players will never sign with Cleveland as free agents.
 
Re: Three-Way ORL/LAL/Cavs Rumor

The problem isn't us, lakers, bynum, or even dwight at this point. The big obstacle is that stupid (bleep) rookie amateur hennigan who thinks this trade is gonna define him as a GM. What he needs to realize is regardless of what deal he gets he's gonna get the worst end of the stick. Its what he does afterwards to rebuild the team that's gonna make or break him as a GM.

Also, we will never have the chance to acquire a player as good as Bynum ever again. This is when you roll the dice.
 
Re: Three-Way ORL/LAL/Cavs Rumor

windy is stressing patience and that the team is in a similar position to where the Celtics were in 2006 before they got Garnett and Allen. Big question is when Grant uses his assets.

Windy believes the Bynum deal has never been close. He believes the Magic are getting screwed in the deal as being discussed and won't move off it.

He emphasizes the Bynum extention is a MAJOR deal breaker.

Its called due diligence. Just because he's not going to get 95 cents on the dollar doesn't mean he should take the first crappy offer he gets... or the second crappy offer, for that matter.

There's 3 months until the season starts, plenty of time for him to make a deal.
 
Re: Three-Way ORL/LAL/Cavs Rumor

Windy has so much more substance than any of the others. He truly is in a league of his own.
 
Re: Three-Way ORL/LAL/Cavs Rumor

Bynum is just not going to give assurances to CLE. Just not happening -- though I certainly see where Grant and Gilbert are coming from.
 
Re: Three-Way ORL/LAL/Cavs Rumor

Sorry for repeating news in the post by ajz20 , he was editing his post during the interview as I was posting what I heard in separate posts in real time.

Is negotiating by using the media also part of due diligence? There's only one name who gets mentioned in these leaks as much as Dwight's and its Hennigan. GMs should blacklist this guy after this ordeal is over.

The Orlando GM won't trade Dwight unless he gets the package he wants when he wants it. He doesn't think Dwight will sign anywhere next year and leave money on the table so he can keep him in Orlando this year then do a S&T for a boatload more.

The problem is does Howard have the balls to leave money on the table and take the 4 year deal instead of a 5 year?
 
Re: Three-Way ORL/LAL/Cavs Rumor

Well, this won't be ending anytime soon. Seems like Orlando is willing to just let Dwight sit out and walk. Goodluck finding a better offer than what Houston and Cleveland/LAL have put on the table. Orlando is a trainwreck of a franchise right now. Begging Dwight to stay, firing their coach, and seemingly unwilling to make a move to better their franchise whether it be with Cleveland, LAL, Brooklyn, or Houston.
