[ClutchFans] Rockets will seek Dwight Howard trade... again

Superstar with back problems and from the Magic? Where have I heard that one before?

 

yet there is something in this roster that orlando wants?

Dwight is not going to happen. Put plan b,c,d,e,f,g,h,i,j.... in place.

 

maybe, maybe not. but it's not the same thing. orlando is going to lose howard if he doesn't sign an extension, so the bidding is lower than it is for the #1 pick.....davis will be with the bobcats for a while, regardless.

 

Just because i don't think Dwight will ultimately happen, this is the guy I'd love to make a play for (it's still a long-shot, but at least he's young, has All-star talent, and won't up and bail after just one season).

Restricted free agent Nicolas Batum is expected to sign the first "lucrative" offer sheet he receives, according to Chris Haynes of CSNNW.
"The first good offer we get, we're going with that," said Bouna Ndiaye, Batum's agent. Batum does not plan to wait for the Trail Blazers to address other free agents, but that doesn't make it likely he'll leave Portland. The Blazers can match any offer he receives, and the team can also offer more money than any other club in free agency. Source: CSNNW.com May 15 - 11:11 AM

 

I'd also go after Batum but Portland has him on the top of their priority list like we have Dragic.

We can't offer him the years Portland can.

 

Is this from the same camp that wants Morey fired for not getting the Rockets a star? Because its becoming a real damned if you do damned if you don't type situation for him huh?

"Oh, Howard was available and Morey didn't go after him? FIRE!"

"Oh, we lost Dragic and Lee while trying to get Howard? wtf??? FIRE!!"

 

This is a topic for a different thread, but Morey should Def. make a play for Batum just simply to drive the price up on Batum to tighten up cap flexibility on Portlands end to sign Goran to a huge deal. Can hurt.

 

Clutchfans- where you get tired of losing good players to go and chase a star who doesn't want to be here and will not come here.

 

Yeah, you're right. Wishful thinking on my part.

 

Such as...?

 

Also coach problems. I wanted Howard strongly before all this,but I am reluctant now.

 

Which good player did we lose out on?

 

I like this.

 

2012 - the year of RM95 and MadMax disagreeing on more sports-related issues than the last 10 years combined (yes, we've known each other for a decade).

 

If you're opposed to this, what would you rather they do?

I don't see a much quicker or more sure path to contention than Dwight Howard, do you?

 

if dh had liked houston, he would not have opted in. the chance to get him is 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0. using tmac as good example is absolutely abused. by that time, we had yao. now, we have nothing.

 

Don't you Know?

Chuck Hayes and now Jordan Hill

 

good thing its up to the magic and not Dwight.

keep in mind if get him before the season starts we could always turn around and flip him at the deadline if he is adament about not re-signing here.

 

Clutchfans - where fans have this bizarre obsession with whether players "want to be here", ignoring the reality that 99% of trades are done without consent and almost everyone is a professional and moves on.

 

Dwight: "I don't like Houston"

**Orlando trades him here anyway**

Dwight: "I still don't like you"
Rockets: "Well now we can offer you the most money"
Dwight: "Did I mention how much I love mosquitos?"
