    Olshey seems to be the type to shoot for the moon. It wouldn't surprise me if he went after Dwight Howard. Perhaps a trade to free up cap room on draft night? And really, why shouldn't he? If you can't make a trade for the starting center on draft night, Howard should be your first shot in free agency. If he balks, move on to the next guy.

    This would be a waste of time. There's no way in Hell that Howard would come to Portland. And I thank the basketball gods for that.

    If Olshey wants to hit a home run, he can go get Joakim Noah.

    If there was a way to convince him to stay then I would be down. I just think he is too big market for a team like Portland. Who knows, maybe he found himself.

    I would love Noah. I just doubt we can pry him away from Chicago. Doesn't hurt to try though!

    I'd rather have Noah then Howard. If we get Howard there's no chance he stays.

    We can't trade for howard on draft night so the only way we get him is in a sign and trade or to just outright sign with us. We would have him locked in for four years

    Who knows what Howard really wants?

    He's in LA now. Bright lights, big city, wealthy team that'll pay the most possible. He's not signed.

    I think he wants to be the man, but also wants high quality teammates to make it so he's not doing it all by himself.

    He turned down the Bulls. I don't blame him. What's wrong with Portland? You need a bench, but the 4 guys you could put on the floor with Howard has to be attractive to him.

    What's wrong with Portland? Not bright lights, big city. But seems like a great place to be.

    If Dwight wants to win, he should come to Portland.

    Dwight yelled at Kupchack after he got himself ejected. I wonder what he said. I quit?

    It looked to me like he said, "I'm signing with Portland for the minimum!"

    Reggie Miller just said he wouldn't offer Dwight a max contract

    After listening to Reggie Miller for the last few years I wish he was the GM for the Lakers because then they would never be relevant again.

    Howard is a big bitch boy. He can't handle the scrutiny of a major market if he can't win a ring.

    There is nothing wrong with Noah other then he looks and acts funky. You of all people Wookee should know how that feels :)
