    Marcus Camby is trending on Yahoo but not Dwight Howard? Welcome to Houston.

    Parsons was the glue guy from the very beginning. Ever since we got him, he immediately became good friends with everyone on the team including Kyle Lowry, Jeremey Lin, and now Dwight.

    We don't have to dump Asik or Lin to get our MLE oand BAE back we simply have to dump Francisco. And we don't even have to dump him to LA. If someone is interested in signing Francisco and they are under the cap or have a trade exception we could tradehim to that eam and throw in a second round pick to sweeten the deal and then simultaneously send a 1st pick to LA for Howard and we keep all of our exceptions.

    To me that is what Morey wants to do and if the Lakers or some other team wants howard that meets that criteria I think it will happen. The only problem we lose Garcia and I love Garcia but it opens up a whole lot of other options like locking Canaan and Kostas and maybe getting a player like Billups or Antawn Jamison. I am certain Morey is trying to amke that happen and if he does we jumpstart our championship run now.

    I would certainly be fine with it. Like mikol said, we probably all own Chandler. Not to mention that his play on the court deserves such a salary.

    We've witnessed a perfect confluence of moves by Morey, exactly the right players, with the right personalities, a coach I was against hiring, who was key to a wildly overachieving season, and apparently key to getting Dwight, and Dwight having just spent a thoroughly miserable season with LA, desperate to get the hell out and find a team he could anchor as they contended for what he hopes are multiple champonships, and just as important to Howard, in my opinion, and something I've said here several times, a team that allowed him to have fun playing basketball again.

    A young team with the right complimentary pieces to fit around Howard, a team with the right coach, a team that could pay him the contract he had earned, and a team that would make basketball fun again for Dwight. That's what he wanted, it's what he was looking for, and it's what Morey created, in a brilliant chain of events orchestrated by the Maestro of NBA General Managers, over an amazingly short time, leading directly to this moment and what we all wanted. A contending team. I'm still a bit stunned that it played out like Morey clearly envisioned. Wow.

    That's awesome. I guess we can say the relationship between Dan Fegan and Morey is much better. What other clients are under Dan Fegan, btw? Anyone?

    Maybe the next music video Slim Tgug makes Harden and Dwight would be in it. Maybe part as a cameo

    They have like a 50 foot poster of James harden at club Dreams

    but the answer is ALL, they will be at all of them

    Harden pays their rent and Dwight gets them pregnant.

    Is it better though? I think Fegan would have made much more money if Dwight signed with LA, lol.
