    It's getting hard to tell the difference between Oil & Gas employees and Rockets fans.

    Your heart will be fine. Dallas can't afford to give Howard a max contract.

    He didnt ask for a trade but Fegan told Morey he wants a max, so Dwight said, "If you arent going to give me a max this summer, send me to a team that will be able to this summer while keeping my bird rights"

    Not verbatim.. But you get it. He is looking for a max pay day.


    Dwight even said he will go back to ORL - ROX dont want T. Harris Contract.

    Sadly as Harden surpassed Kobe as the no. 1 SG in the league, he also took home Kobe's character as an undesired teammate...

    Should be interesting but I doubt we trade him, not because we don't want too but because we can't.

    If we are so anxious to trade Dwight and get rid of guys like TJones, Brewer & Lawson, what makes them so attractive to any other suitor? They are seeing the same problems we are.

    Harden's character has prevented chemistry from being built. That's my point of view

    I think he's a big driver of locker room politics. He did not make the compromises to mesh with Dwight's playing style, and the rift between them grew and started dividing the locker room to the chemistry mess we have now. No one is happy and James was the first to feel this way,

    When they're not happy and have no confidence, shots are not going to fall, and defense won't click.

    That's how I piece together the last 3 years anyway.

    It was fun while it lasted with Dwight I guess. He's looking to cash out one last time.

    Morey is in a difficult spot here, if he gets something good out of this I will be amazed.

    The Rockets need a big that can score inside on a post up low block or elbow. We truly haven't had that since Yao. Howard alley oops can not sub for this in the long haul. Find your true post player then pair him up with Harden.

    Bulls need a C. They have two firsts to give back and Brickotic and Mcdermott. However I dont' believe they want to sign Dwight Reinsdorf is extremely cheap and they already have problems with injury prone players.

    After that let's hope it's not Knicks and Nets.
    Raptors don't need a C, Thunder don't need a C.
    Blazers need a C. Mccollum would be a dream. (we would have to throw back more0

    Wizards is a good idea if he wants to sign there. Oubre + their lottery pick + Nene.

    Good to hear. The Rockets must start the rebuilding process now, not this summer. Get something for Dwight before he walks. Tank the rest of the year so we keep our draft picks and they're as high as possible. Get something for T-Jones since resigning him would be insane. Move as many other aging veterans(Ariza, Brewer, Terry) as possible. And make damn sure we get the best coach available this offseason.

    As for Morey, I'd give him til the draft to prove he deserves to hold onto his job. But I gotta be honest. I'm terrified he'll blow the coaching hire and draft picks if he's kept around.

    Are you sure is going to happen? I believe as Malakas does, if Morey does not find the right deal he does not pull the trigger.

    I'm thinking if we can get Korver, Teague, and Horford for Howard and Brewer.

    He has to get traded before the deadline.

    This could really hurt his image if he is forced to stick around till the summer. Dwight WILL NOT risk another Dwightmare!
