Are they implementing the Hack-A-Dwight strategy on ya???

Any Dwight Howard related trade would probably be vetoed this year. We have set a precedent already of not allowing trades with players that were recently signed to their respective teams

Dang sprayer I got excited I wud give up wade and bosh for Howard and something else too

Yeah, the Knicks have a point seeing as MWP just got there and trade was granted

The logic would be that acquisitions like Howard were higher profile. The Rockets picked up Howard in hopes of basing their entire system around him. MWP was not a necessity for the Knicks with guys like Melo and Smith. I would guarantee if this were Melo's first season in NY any trade involving him would get denied.

I do agree with that, however, for the sake of avoiding opinion based decisions like that it should be either all 1st year w/ team players must stay or that shouldn't be a stipulation, but that's just what I think about it, I wanted to trade for Josh Smith which is a little bit more in between as far as iconic player who shouldn't be traded and glorified role player.

If u cant see the difference between mwp and Howard then u shudnt be in this league in my opinion

OK relax there's absolutely NO reason to get hostile. With that being said...

MWP was a toss-away addition by the Knicks this summer, he's like the 10th guy on their team. To be honest, I'm not really sure why the Heat would make this trade, as an aging swing is the last thing they need (Battier 2.0?).

The Josh Smith trade is much different. Smith just signed a lucrative deal and is in the Pistons long term plans. Additionally, the Pistons have two stud young bigs in Monroe and Drummond. It would make little sense from a basketball standpoint to add Boozer into the equation, at least Smith is athletic and can play a little 3. There is no way to get Boozer/Monroe/Drummond on the floor at once. Finally, the Pistons are a young squad with their sites on improving on a year-by-year basis for the next few years. Adding Boozer, an overpaid big of declining talent, wouldn't fit that plan.

I think the rational between the two trades is very different, and a trade involving the likes of Howard would fit into the category 2 thinking.

I was trading Luol and Kirk not Boozer. But like I said I do understand the reasoning, I was just pointing out that my trade may have been a problem because Smith is in his first year with a new team, which I agreed with, as is MWP. And as far as the not knowing the difference between MWP and Howard, that comment came from someone who traded for MWP to join the Heat...enough said lol I'm just joking though.

3peat will show u lol

haha you must not have seen our "Vengeance" video.

I'm looking forward to the matchup between you guys, Rhight and Mr_West23 because I've played you both and you were both very, very good. Eastern conference side of the playoffs will be very strong
