Sources: Houston has started contacting teams about trading Dwight Howard

I miss Yao.

This team cannot play fundamental basketball. Dwight is a good rebounder, defender and finisher at the rim but he lacks basic fundamentals. I hope Morey brings in a guy who can make his damn free throws and can hit a mid range jump shot.

 

Cap space > Melo for 4 years

PERFECT!!
THANK you cyber! That's big relief!! Because our lockeroom isn't so crap and because Dwight wants to go everywhere.


That's very good news!!
Wizards, Boston ,Charlotte, Orlando (perhaps they willing to trade Vucevic?) Bulls!

 

Surprising. I always figured Dwight wanted at least a shot at a ring. Surprised he's content with just going to the highest bidder, wherever that may be. Can't fault him for going where the money is, though.

 

Would be interesting if Howard ended up in Oklahoma..

If it's a bad deal, then no. But would Morey really hang onto Dwight knowing he'll walk this summer? It's not like we gave up any assets to sign him(well, aside from trading away contracts), so we wouldn't be decimated the way the Lakers were when he bolted LA. But I'd still prefer to get something for him now rather than just clear out a ton of capspace this summer when he leaves.

 

So the main takeaway is that Dwight has a list of teams he thinks will give him a 5 year deal (though if I had to guess, not the max). Really curious who those teams would be.

 

I would definitely make that trade. They can have Lawson too.

 

Trade him and Brewer for a player who actually is good at hitting 3pts.

That's what this team wants anyway.

 

Honestly I would trade Dwight for any expiring that returns prospects/draft picks. Even if it is just one decent prospect or one decent draft pick. Without Dwight on the books this summer we will have max cap space without the need to trade anyone. Also I don't believe there is any love lost between Durant and Howard. I feel like Howard has been our most consistent player and has been great, but I don't see us signing him to a 4 or 5 year max or anything over 20 million a year.

 

Dan Fegan, agent for Dwight Howard, issues statement to ESPN: "I'm not privy to what the Rockets are doing or not doing with respect to Dwight Howard. What I can say, with 100 percent certainty, is that Dwight has not and has never asked the Rockets for a trade. And neither have I."

 

Very true. Howard not having a mid range jumper plus a true post up game in today's NBA is not good. Hoping for the best trade possible for Howard.

 

So your point view comes from something you could never possibly prove and have absolutely no evidence of at all and it just happens to make one person responsible for everything.. that's logical, lol.

 

Notice Cyber said BIRD RIGHTS.
That means Dwight wants 5 year max. The monetary difference is huge.

He wants his money. I respect this. It also means he's gonna get traded now 100%. And the return wont' be so good but it depens on how many teams are willing to pay him because that will be the criterion.

If I were Grunfeld I would be all over that. With Dwight you have a better Chance to pitch to Durant.

 

That is true Fegan speak with regards to his players that he represents.

 

His contract won't be that terrible actually with the new cap increase.

Surround Harden and Melo with 3 and D guys ala Ariza.

 

Smfh at them not wanting Harris contract, just to chase DURANT !! This guy Harris is solid can do it all, and is young...
