if it's about the money then no team could him more then the Lakers because of his bird rights. not to mention all the endorsements from playing in l.a.

The Thunder role players are responsible because they didn't step up. You really make the worst arguments I've ever seen.

The Osbourne point is an example I thought might sink in to your little corncob of a brain. He was criticized the same way. It's a little more justified after doing something for 15 years. Of course you are the only dumbass I've seen calling out a 23 year old for not winning a NBA Championship so I'm not sure why I bother. You are clearly too stupid to live.

If Howard was all about the money, he'd be staying in Orlando. He wants to play with his buddies in a big market. Deron Williams and Brooklyn is what he wanted.

too late for that unless he plays nice and somehow gets Orlando to trade him in January which is reeruned.

What difference would it make if they traded him now vs later? He's not a player you are hoping breaks out and you can sell high midseason.

Nothing is impossible.

If they want him and he wants to go there, they will find a way to get him there with DWill and Joe Johnson.

That's something I wouldn't argue. He's physically weak. However, his job is to score not push people around. He's not mentally soft at all. In fact, he's ice ****ing cold.

You could say he needs to be more aggressive at times, needs to create his own shot, needs to develop a post game fine. Those points are fair.

The fact is he has shown he can dominate games. He has shown he can be the leader of a team and take them a step further every year. He has shown he can be clutch. None of that tells me he's not capable of winning a championship or his game is soft.

Billay's arguments are just pure non-sense.

please explain to me how he is going to Brooklyn before mid January genius

The Lakers should just pull out of talks too. This is a ridiculous, never-ending process that the Lakers are giving up the best chip out of any team by far to Orlando.

It's obvious Hennigan wants to clear space, get younger and get picks. I doubt that all 3 will happen. At one point, he's going to have to decide if he wants the space and the picks because the young prospects aren't going to come with the other 2.

I dont give a **** about him going there mid January. They can trade them to whoever the **** they want and then he can sign there in FA.

Orlando already turned down Brook Lopez and 4 #1's. They obviously hate Lopez. So where is the contract coming from to match?

He's not going to be a Net. That boat has sailed.

No, he can't sign in New Jersey in FA.

Can you learn the rules of a CBA in basketball before you try to spout off bullshit that has no chance of happening?

You are probably right. I really wish all NBA teams would pull out of talks with him. He deserves to sit in Orlando or sit out.
