    Martin (and his expiring contract) will surely be traded to the Magic as part of any proposed deal.

    That is not 100% correct. Scola still counts on payroll. Team minimum payroll has to be 80% of salary cap for this season. Just in case the freaky happens and Howard fails physical, Les won't have to pay some schmuck a 20 million dollar (overestimation) 1 year deal to just meet minimum payroll. Scola doesn't count against cap or luxury tax.

    Rockets if they take back bad contracts...will not be giving away lottery picks...just imo...ORL either had a choice...picks...or bad contracts...

    ORL i guess has chosen to move bad contracts...Look for the Rockets to have some decent talent left!

    So, how does the amnesty bidding work?

    The Rockets have to pay the difference between his new salary and his old salary, correct?

    D-Mo is gone, but I bet Morey held onto Lamb.

    Bah, this sucks. I guess we are taking on 3 horrible contracts as well as giving up the farm for Dwight. I hope we only take 2 of those contracts, let them keep Turk's.

    Well it would have to be as a PTBNL if we sent out Moti

    Also he's been having some minor back thing going on

    I wouldn't be surprised if we held onto him, but I wouldn't be surprised at anybody we traded though.

    D-Mo can't be traded until December. D-mo just signed a contract.

    We'll take on all that crap salary if you leave our draft picks alone.

    I know, they get a super player for chips
    and next year they can bring Paul and Howard in free agency to play with Dirk and Scola
