Strangest math in all of sports, ever. Eddy Curry: 525 career regular-season games. ZERO career playoff games. One championship ring.

How about the Orlando Magic signing Rob Hennigan as their new GM? What will be his decision on Dwight?

[Riddikulus]

^ Since you talked about Dwight and the Magic? May mga rumors na ba about trading him?

Deron Williams rumors

-When NBA free agency begins at midnight July 1, Brooklyn Nets star guard Deron Williams will be choosing from a two-team list that only features the Nets and the Dallas Mavericks, according to sources close to the situation. ESPN.com


-Other teams, including the Phoenix Suns and Houston Rockets, had been hoping to lodge their own bids for Williams once free agency begins, sources said. The Los Angeles Lakers, likewise have continued to express interest in a sign-and-trade package built around Pau Gasol for Williams, sources say, despite the Nets' longstanding insistence that they have no interest in Gasol and would only consider such a move if they were getting back All-Star center Andrew Bynum, whom the Lakers have not made available. ESPN.com


-Sources say Williams, in any case, already has instructed his representatives to advise any team that calls starting at 12:01 a.m. July 1 that he intends to either re-sign with the Nets or return to his hometown with the Mavericks after a glittering high school career in the Dallas area. ESPN.com

For the Mavs, I hope they get what they want the trio of Dwill Dhoward and Dnowitzki.

As for the Nets, if they make Dwill to stay, inevitably, they will get Howard.

Ok yan "3D" sila hahaha but still i doubt na mangyayari yan

[Riddikulus]

Baka yung anticipated na 3D na team e malure ng Mavs yung dalawang D's.

AFAIK, this recent playoffs lang sila kamuntikang matalo against the Celtics. Tapos 4-2 sila against Indiana. While last year, 4-1 sila versus Boston and Chicago.

[almostthere]

Now that LBJ got his first ring, who's the ringless superstar with the most pressure to win a title?

Is it Melo because he's in the Mecca of basketball?
Is it CP3 because he's entering (or is currently) in his prime?
Dwight?

[deronwilliams08]

IMO the best place for Deron would be Indiana. Too bad he's not even considering signing with the Pacers.

[t_SKY]

Possible but very unlikely

[absinthe_888]

^^ Wow, Big 3 ng Dallas

Pano na si Jason Terry nan?

[Riddikulus]

If they want to get the 2 D's Dallas should let Jet walk away.

Houston Rumor...

Kyle Lowry ‏@Klow7: It's been real! via Twitter

Alex Kennedy ‏@AlexKennedyNBA: Has Kyle Lowry been traded? He sent out this cryptic tweet... RT @Klow7 It's been real! via Twitter

Bill Ingram ‏@TheRocketGuy: @AlexKennedyNBA @Klow7 I was told by a well-placed Houston source that he was "likely" to be traded on or before draft day. via Twitter

UPDATE (12:48 a.m. ET): Upon hearing of Sunday night's developments, one rival general manager told ESPN.com that he believes Houston's real aim is acquiring two top-10 picks this week to turn around quickly and offer both to the Orlando Magic as part of a considerable trade offer for Dwight Howard.

The Rockets' willingness to trade for Howard -- even without the All-Star center's signature on a contract extension -- is an open secret around the league. But it's believed that two top-eight picks, assuming Houston managed to complete trades with both Sacramento and Toronto, would seriously pique the interest of new Magic general manager Rob Hennigan, who could then quickly start following the same sort of roster-building blueprint relied on by his previous employers in Oklahoma City.

Acquiring those early lottery picks, though, only represents half of Houston's challenge if Howard is indeed the Rockets' target. The other hurdle is convincing Hennigan, who hasn't even been on the job for a week in Central Florida, to part with Howard so quickly. As much as he's been schooled in building through the draft while working alongside Thunder GM Sam Presti, Hennigan could opt to take a more measured approach, make one more run at trying to convince Howard to sign an extension before entering the final year of his contract and then trade him later in the summer if those efforts go nowhere.

Yes..it's melo the only thing for him to win a championship is to join Dwight Howard in orlanda since howard wants a championship team.and orlando has an edge to offer him a multi-million dollar.he has no future in NY-knicks..it will take 3-4 years for knicks to build up a team and that time AMARE STOUDEMIRE is no longer an effective player..

CP3 has no future in los angeles clippers so it's time for him to go orlanda in PG position If orlando fail to land D-WILL and that is CP3 for Howard in orlando magic...someday i would not be surprise if anthony-CP3 or Dwill-Howard will be a next big 3 for orlando magic.

not only Howard is target by HOUSTON..pau gasol also remember a spoiled trade last year between rockets-lakers-hornets...I think Howard wants to stay one more season in orland..the owner promise him to make and build a championship team.if the owner keep his promise,Howard is no longer have a reason he did not signed him for another multi-million contract extension with orlando..magic done it last year by trading DAvis from celtics and another pieces of the puzzle by signing D-Will or trading for CP3.this year is the last chance for magic to build a championship team for howard

there 2 targets for Orlando this year

1)signed D wILL/trade for CP3
2)Trade some player for Melo anthony or signed some good and potential player in FA poll...
