    mixed feelings. but looks like we know what that meeting last night was about.

    sucks that harden is the one we keep as he is the bigger diva at this point, but he is also younger and the more valuable "asset".

    Meh, we made it to WCF. I doubt anyone is calling CP3/BG tandem a nightmare or error. We did ok.

    on the other hand depending on how limited his choices are it could get us much LESSER assets. If he wants BKN for example or NY.


    Morrey has been contacting teams about Dwight since December people. Don't panic.

    Good move. Let's start again. Unfortunately we are not going anywhere this year with him or without him.

    Well what if Dwight has told them he is going somewhere else next season? Makes sense to try and get something for him. It's not like the Rockets are winning anything this year.

    Even worse? We're not going to get jack squat for him.

    If Morey is looking to trade him, he probably knows he's not coming back.

    Still a huge Dwight fan . . . it will be hard to watch this team without him if this happens. :(

    Well, that spells rebuilding. I guess we can hope for a good lottery pick this year.

    Houston was never a 1st option for Howard.. it was his last resort to get out of Toxic L.A. and he lost the fire in his belly to win it all!! Blow it up Pay up for the Nets Pick!!

    I honestly feel bad for Dwight. He made the wrong choice coming here. Should have went to GS or just resigned and goofed with the Lakers. He lost that $30M bet.

    I spoke to DM briefly last night at the Blazers game and he was not happy with the team's performance. Nothing was said about specific players, though he wouldn't have shared that with me anyway since we'd never met before. While he didn't come right out and say it, I wouldn't be at all surprised if these last two games against Portland cemented the idea that something has to be done sooner, rather than later. That Blazers team has half the talent we have, yet handled us pretty easily twice in a week.

    Well if you're going to trade Howard... Let's do it right and trade Harden also..

    Get some guys in who give a crap and put all out on the line on both offense and defense..
