    Exactly, that's why I was asking the question.

    If you're don't know the difference between the terms "all-star" and a "superstar", I don't have any help for you.

    To play in any of the big markets this is what Dwight will have to do. I wouldn't count on Addidas making up the difference either. Just imagine the huge bricks David Stern will **** if a superstar signs for peanuts with a big market team and has his shoe deal pay for the lost income, especially with the parity concerns addressed in the last CBA. No shoe company is going to make an enemy of Emperor Stern.

    Not a good post Dwight changes the whole game. Defensive anchor and monster rebounder. Paired with Parsons. He would allow Chandler to dominate his man with the added assurance that Superman will be down low

    ...still waiting for 3 NBA Players who have come back( just as strong) after back surgery ?

    Oh you couldn't find 3 ? How about 2 ?

    I have back problems and have had 2 surgeries ... back problems just never go away.Eventually they come back ..

    ...and the thing is Howard Himself says the tear is the worse his DR. of 27 years has seen :eek:

    Not making this up up ... watch DH in this video

    The only option you seem to factor in is IF he leaves. If he stays and plays like he has the past 7 years, then you are a contender for the next 5 years.

    Howard is probably a 20+ win share. Second to only LBJ in the mid 30's.

    I'm not Googling for 30 minutes to satisfy your curiosity. Go do it yourself. I was quoting what a sports doctor said on the radio yesterday, word for word. Take it up with him if you have a problem with it.

    so esentially what you're saying is that morey is stupid enough to trade for a player with a debilitating injury... am i right? bc if you don't agree with that assessment your point is baseless.

    One thing I DO know though is that here are different kinds of back injuries and they have different prognoses. A bulging disc is not the same as a herniated disc, for example.

    Is this true?

    So we can't even S and T him to the clippers if we wanted to?

    I'm not sure how I missed this. If this is true, Howard has got to be terrified abot being dealt to us and his agent will pull out all the stops to try to derail this.

    Howard can't even pout his way to a trade to LA or NY, even assuming the rockets would do it, bc such a trade is not permitted under the league rules.

    He is totally screwed then.

    This, and he knows it. Which is why I doubt he'll pass up the money.
