So Dirk isn't a competitor, but he's the first guy to take two teams to the Finals and win one without another legitimate star since... When?Originally Posted by leemelone
So the guy who says "I lost the drive to compete because I didn't take enough time to party it up" is just as competitive as anyone in the league. Anyone else would have got murdered by ESPN but for some reason the media let's this guy and Big Ben slide.

The dude didn't need to run to another superstar to win a title. Didn't need to piss and moan, quit in a playoff game because he was upset, and demand a trade because he couldn't win without another star by him, but he's not an elite competitor. Got it.
That's my last post about Dirk.

Sign & Trade package built around Lopez & Brooks. The salaries will match since Lopez is up for an extension and will be making big money, but the trade is still a long shot since Brooklyn can't take back any of ORL's bad contracts now.Originally Posted by CoupeIt88
Ric Bucher just tweeted not to count out Dwight Howard ending up with the Nets.Don't understand how that's possible unless he signs a mid-level exception. Would he do that? Probably not, unless Prokavic gives him stock in Russia or something of that nature (does that still break NBA rules if it's beyond US borders? Haha)

I'll be rooting like hell for the Celtics to win one more before KG retires but the shortened season did wonders for them...an 82 game season is not going to be friendly once it's playoff time. I'll give you the Heat obviously but I do like the Lebron-Crash and JJ-Wade matchups. Humphries took a dump on Bosh towards the end of the year and that's a good matchup as well. Then you have Deron Williams against Mario Chalmers and Brook Lopez against whatever 60 year old that wants to take a one year minimum deal from the Heat for this season. And Marshon, Kidd, Green and Teletovic will more than likely be better than every single player on the Heat's bench.

Sources: Rockets, Dragic far apart
The Houston Rockets are pessimistic about their chances of re-signing point guard Goran Dragic with the sides far apart in negotiations, according to sources close to the process.
The Rockets met with Dragic on Monday in Houston and were hopeful of reaching terms quickly with the Slovenian, who averaged 16.3 points and 7.3 assists in 32 games after the All-Star break following an injury to Kyle Lowry.
But Dragic left town without a deal, sources said, leading one source close to the process to say that the lefty's expected return to the Rockets is "not going to happen." Dragic is scheduled Tuesday to visit the Phoenix Suns, who dealt him to the Rockets at the 2011 trade deadline.
Dragic is said to be seeking an annual salary of at least $10 million and, according to sources familiar with his thinking, expects to be installed as the starter wherever he lands.
