NBA Free Agency

Magic are in a lot of trouble. Dwight wants out, he'll get his way. But now Magic will get little in return, conpared to lopez humphries and 4 first rounders! They shouldve accepted then and there. Lopez is great and will be an all-star centre this year imo. Nets made a great offer Orlando are just too stubborn!

Where to now for dwight? Lakers??? Houston???

Said it before as a Magic fan, will say it again. Given the choice between Humphries or nothing. Nothing wins everyday

[valkorum]

I want to know how they will get 4 x 1st rounders - isnt the rule that a team isnt allowed to miss 2 consecutive 1st rounds (ie 2013, 2014)]

edit: Looks like the Mavs have signed Kaman

Looks like the Mavs have signed Kaman

I still hold hope for the Lakers to get him. But is it true Dwight doesn't like Kobe or something?  ???

[BratPack]

The Rockets twitter account just started following D12, Duhon, Glen Davis and Jason Richardson...May mean something....may mean nothing

[Windigo]

Hm, dunno what to say about that.  :o

[valkorum]

Its been pretty obvious that the Rockets have been maneuvering to try and get Howard - offloading players, picking up early draft picks etc

Edit:  Although I do remember reading somewhere that Howard said he would leave after his last years contract if he went to the Rockets

[Windigo]

Who is better center ATM?

Bynum or Howard?

DMC

[Windigo]

Cousins?  ???

[valkorum]

Cousins?  ???

Yes - and I am being serious.... Well maybe not the best but definitely up there with them.  Also consider that DMC played on a team with a 22-44 record.

Howard
PPG: 20.6
RPG: 14.5
APG: 1.9
STPG: 1.5
BLKPG: 2.2
DblDbl: 43


Bynum
PPG: 18.7
RPG: 11.8
APG: 1.4
STPG: 0.4
BLKPG: 1.9
DblDbl: 37


Cousins
PPG: 18.1
RPG: 11.0
APG: 1.6
STPG: 1.4
BLKPG: 1.2
DblDbl: 36

[Windigo]

Hm, the stats don't lie and he stacks up well against Bynum & Howard..

[valkorum]

I cant find stats on charges taken but I would bet a large sum that DMC took more charges than Bynum and Howard - in fact I reckon he would be close to leading the league

Edit: Just found it - DMC led the league with 50 charges taken for the season.

Bynum: 2
Howard: 2

[valkorum]

Also just looked at the rebounds breakdown

Offensive
Howard: 200 (11th Overall)
Bynum: 192 (14th Overall)
DMC: 265 (League Leader)

Defensive
Howard: 585 (League Leader)
Bynum: 517 (2nd Overall)
DMC: 438 (13th Overall)
