    It was "knwldg" and if you do have the ability or pull to get it back, that would be awesome. It was tied to an old email account from years ago and had no way of updating the password for Clutchfans. Thanks in advance.

    I'm sorry....offal has been used before (I'm a dork, :) , I did a search).

    No surprise. This is, after all, a Rockets fanboard.

    But do let him keep the rep!

    So, essentially you prove my original point in my original post. He has shown that he lacks character for not honoring his contract in the final year and therefore the Rockets should not gamble on whether he might stay. MOVE ON....

    If he was a free agent and was looking to move to a city where he would be more marketable, I would completely understand you position that he is just trying to get all he can, and I would say more power to him.

    But I am a bit more old school in thinking, play his heart out for the team he is with and the money will come. If he shut his mouth, recovered, played his a$$ off this final year, this would all be a moot point.

    But he is choosing to wreak havoc on his current team, who wants someone like that on their team.

    Back when Olajuwon demanded a trade due to his belief he was not being paid at fair market value and that the organization was not trying to surround him with quality people, it was a very tough time to be a Rockets fan. He stayed, played his a$$ off the following years and it resulted in two championships.

    I have always been an Olajuwon fan, since back in his Phi Slama Jama days, but I was really bothered when he demanded a trade. It was awesome the way it all turned out.

    But DH is no Olajuwon...

    Repped. He will do nothing but cause havoc here as well until he gets where he wants to be. Not Houston.

    Don't think they have enough assets for a move like that.

    I do...Jrich is the feb asset though to get Gay....maybe

    So Kmart, PP, Rookie, 2 first rounders, (any throw ins to match) for Dwight, Jrich, and duhon
    Jrich n 2nd rounders for Gay or iggy, or DMo,plus 2nd rd picks for iggy

    I'm prob wrong on the cap numbers didn't check, but think that DM
    is trying to do something similar, I still thought, jsmith, or mayo would
    be easier to grab

    Because if he doesn't want to be in Houston, then this year is wasted. You only get so many years.

    I will be shocked if it happens. Personally I wouldn't get your hopes up.

    Again, it's been reported for weeks that "early August" is the target to watch out for. Let's just see what happens.

    That would be fine by me, we could then move Asik as part of the package to Orlando. I don't see Orlando trading with Brooklyn after January 15th, since Lopez apparently has a 15% trade kicker in his contract. I suppose Brooklyn could make the deal more palatable by throwing in Humphries and agreeing to take back ALL of Orlando's bad contacts, but I just don't see that trade going down. Come February, we may be the only trade partner Orlando can turn to, and a package of KMart, Asik and picks might be enough.
