    This could indicate that Howard is interested in Houston because he has asked Morey to get third star. So thats mean he is interested in Houston if Morey agree to do that soon for Howard.

    This is borderline-tabloid material. You guys need to save your wrath for something useful.

    Seriously. It doesn't even say he wants a 3rd max player, just said he asked if it was possible.

    Imagine Parsons has been busying helping the Rockets to recruit Howard then in the end he is traded for the 3rd star. How would Parson feel????

    Hate to break it to you guys. The other thread posted Morey's radio interview this morning. This thread is just bull****

    Morey said...

    Dwight NEVER asked about a third star.

    LOL...if you use that standard then you can say any 2nd round pick or late 1st rounder that makes something of themselves in their rookie contract is "not 4-5 times worse" than basically anyone outside of the top 10 players in the league based on what their respective contracts imply.

    I agree, but if his improvement from his 2nd year to his 3rd is equal or greater to his improvement from his first year to 2nd year??????

    2 for one special.....trade Lin and Asik for the chance to sign Iggy and Milsap....might need to tweak roster and sell high on winning first (hopefully championships) and get them onboard playing with Harden and Dwight....bench might look a lil shacky but with Dwight, Harden,Iggy and Milsap....you can mix a few scrubs in the mix before you put the horses in to finish the game.bye bye parsons....

    Doubtful. The elite players in the NBA dominate pretty early on. A true max player like Lebron, Carmelo, Durant, CP3 there's little to no improvement they come into the league and look like stars as rookies.

    Seriously who was the last player taken in the second round who became a multi year all star and a max worthy player?

    Even guys like Randolph who took a few years to be great we're first rounders.

    Parsons is our Nic Batum and will be paid like it.

    Love this but no reason to drop Parsons to get it done.

    If Howard wants a 3rd star, then there's no better place for him to be than in Houston. The Lakers even if 2014 FA is a success will have 2 stars and nothing. Dallas has run out of assets to bring in a 3rd guy besides Dirk. And even then can you call Dirk a star at his age, especially going forward?

    The Rockets besides Harden, Howard, Parsons has much more in terms of trade chips for a 3rd star. Imagine LMA or Love giving ultimatums to their teams about leaving, the Rockets can put together a pretty good package.

    So it's been over ten years and Manu was only selected to two all star games. He was given a max contract technically though it was only 3 years 38.9 million
