    The part about Atlanta scares me a bit, but that still only gives them 2 stars when they could potentially make it 3 in Houston (and be in the West away from the Heat). And Atlanta doesn't exactly have Pat Riley/Wade on their side to do the recruiting.

    LOL Dwight's agent doesn't want him in Houston. Dwight's agent wants his PERCENTAGE of whatever bonus he is getting with Dwight in LA. F HIM!

    IF the Rockets can get in CP3's ear and in Dwight's ear about a Houston version of the big 3, I have faith that Morey can make the "deals" to get both of them. Players can be moved.

    Normally this would just get a bunch of eyerolls, and cute gifs, but cyberx doesn't seem like a poster that would make up that much bs just to get his thread making abilities revoked.

    Everything does sort of make sense too, except for his insistance to want to play for the flippin Nets. I assume Fagan will push for a Brook Lopez/salary to LAL sign and trade for Dwight on draft night, and then make a free agency decision after that does not work out.

    -Also, of course his agent doesn't want him to leave LA. The 30 million guaranteed isn't nearly as big of a deal to Dwight as it is to Fagan. Also what Dwight pays in taxes aren't his concern either. Fagan will everything in his will to convince Dwight to stay in LA because... well its more money for him any way you look at it.

    Fagan's a used car salesman at the end of the day trying to make a buck, and any bad mouthing you hear about Houston is most likely coming from him.

    Dwight and Harden would instantly contend for a championship with d-league dregs that can hit open 3's.

    I thought cyberx was full of it last year or couple years ago but don't remember him posting something that wasn't true. You have my back cyberx. Thanks for the info! Summer is going to be exciting!

    Its not possible. Even if Morey was able to strip the roster and have only Harden, Howard, and CP3 in Houston the payroll alone for those two would be right around 60 million which is the salary cap.

    He would have to trade away every single guaranteed player other than Harden for 0 salary dollars in return, and decline every team option on the roster including Chandler Parsons.

    His agent can probably hook him up with more/better sponsorship deals in L.A.

    I say this every thread, but I don't want this dude on the team. I'd take gimpy Pau over this cancerous drama-queen.

    I would keep Asik at 8M to play 25-30mpg off the bench. Dwight gets 36, Asik gets 12 at C and another 12-15 playing alongside Dwight. On offense Dwight goes to PF in the post while Asik does his PnR thing with the guards. On D you have two interchangeable monsters in the paint. What could go wrong?

    Thanks for the info Cyberx.

    Did you hear about what the plans are in addition to Dwight? Do they plan on moving Asik or some other pieces for an upgrade at PF (Smith or Milsap)?

    The Rockets could dump Garcia,Delfino, Brooks to get the 1st cap space.

    Then to get the 2nd number, I asked BimaThug about this and he said that the Rockets could move Asik/Trob/White to get to the 2nd number.

    Both contracts probably wouldn't FULL MAX, they probably would be a little off from that, but that's what the Miami guys did as well.

    So, the Rockets have been tempering? Wouldn't be the first time McHale is involved in something shady. Hope it doesn't cost the team 4 draft picks this time.
