    Isn't slower / better shooter what Howard wants?

    I've been texting with a friend of mine from Detroit who is a Pistons super fan and he feels like Calderon has Lin beat in every category but driving to the basket and age. He doesn't want Lin.

    I'd replace Calderon with Dragic. He offers defense, diming, 3 point shot, and we know how McHale loved him when he was here.

    His contract wouldn't be so problematic either, I think. If Les is willing to deal with the player option.

    Think Morey and McHale would want him back?

    I doubt it'd happen, but Ainge just dumped 2 HOF and one of the greatest celtics and versatile scorers of all time for an awful contract.

    Calderon has missed a hell of a lot of games over the last several years. If the guy's healthy, he's a damned good point, except for his defense, and offensively he's aces. If he's healthy. Just a rumor, of course. I just have a hard time believing Alexander wants to trade Lin for anyone.

    Please keep Omer. Thanks in advance.

    BTW,

    signings are not official until JULY 10. Let me state that ONE MORE TIME.

    THERE ARE TEN FRIGGING DAYS that Dwight Howard can get a hangnail while in Houston or decide the humidity is too much, or perhaps figures out that he prefers the way L.A. cabs look.

    the player option was the sole cause of him leaving in the first place

    I think at this point, les puts full confidence in Morey to do what he has to do. I doubt he'd get in the way of any potential trades involving lin
