    Cyberx --

    would you call it "likely" or "very possible?" you mentioned both of those phrases, and I'm just curious.

    I think people here are under rating a motivated Deight Howard. Or rather, a not-bummed-out Dwight Howard. He would make the Warriors gun for another regular season win total record along with a ring if Barnes is back. Bogut is a good enough rim protector already, and now he would come off the bench. That's 48 minutes of great interior defense. You would essentially be forced to shootout against the Warriors.

    With that being said, not-bummed-out Dwight will not be in Houston regardless if he opts in or not. Dwight and the Rockets' on-court philosophy are not the same. Time to move on. No more quitting on the team by Dwight, and no more obligation possessions for the Rockets.

    That would be the perfect piece to end their supremacy.

    Dwight on the Warriors will make them scarily good. Dwight is a much better interior defender than Bogut. They might break 73-win record.

    This might be a bit troublesome. Dwight has the tools to still be very effective.. just not with us. He goes to another team who can utilize him and he'll be much better. Sigh..

    You would have to seriously consider Dwight for Iggy and Bogut. They wouldn't have to get under the cap to make this deal and could retain their free agents. The Rockets should even consider throwing in Ariza if Iggy is part of the deal.

    Not really. A better shot blocker...maybe.

    OMG please grant me the patience....

    No, just no dude. Iggy? Bogut? C'mon man. I'd vomit in my mouth if this team picked up the cheap shot artist that is Bogut. I'd much rather keep Ariza than to pick up Iggy.

    WOW!

    And he will also take a discount? If he takes lower than 20 per and they retain Bogut as his backup it's possibly the best C rotation in the league.

    Dwight would be great for them defensively but don't see the fit offensively at all. DH doesn't set hard screens and would have no idea where to pass it on all the split cuts and what not (when he has the ball in the mid post).

    Threads like this is why the NBA offseason is the best.

    at least its not dallas, but still yuck! i'll do a snt with andre and bogut. he can fill in for starting center till capela breaks out in dec-feb, then be a solid backup center. andre would be the best 3d player.

    The Cyberx sources. This is very interesting move. If they can not get Durant, Howard is not a bad choice for them.

    They have to move Bogut or Iggy, and waive the rights to Barnes or Ezeli

    Do they will likely move Barnes and Bogut IMO. I could legitimately see a sign and trade if Howard goes to the Warriors.

    That being said to all the fans thinking this is good news, think again. If Howard walks we HAVE to sign another big name player, and they may not happen.

    Cyber anything on what big FA's will be open/interested in Houston?
