Sources: Houston has started contacting teams about trading Dwight Howard

Horford would be my first choice, because I think he could help a ton in terms of our offensive cohesion and chemistry. Plus he's a great team player on both ends, even if he's not the rebounding/defensive presence Dwight is inside. Our problem on D is not necessarily talent, it's communication (and effort, in Harden's case).

But I don't see ATL doing that, for whatever reason. I'd be fully behind the Noah/Gibson/1st deal (I've also seen Pau/Gibson rumors). I think Gibson is a near-perfect fit for the PF spot here, with his mid-range game, motor, physicality and mobility on D. He's not a star, but he's the type of role-player we need, and especially at the PF spot. Noah is a shell of his old self, but he can still rebound and defend, and he could be the locker-room leader we need. Plus he's expiring, so if he turns out to be a success in a limited role, maybe we bring him back, but if not, no worries.

 

Uhmm isn't he out for the season??

 

Noah out for season-- so safe to say you've been watching a lot of games..?

 

The Rockets were interested in Noah before Codman jinxed him with an injury.

Yes, he's out for the year, but if he could be acquired with Taj Gibson and a draft pick? At least we'd have Taj Gibson. Then you could make a decision on Noah and a new contract in the offseason (I think he's too injury-prone myself, seems like he's always running off the court with one arm hanging from a flap of skin....)

 

Can't wait to see Dwight got trade and leave this sorry ass team.

And btw the facts remain : for all the teams since Dwight left, either by free agent or trade, have never been able to reach back to the playoff yet.

LOL

 

That's the case for every team that's lost a star player

Very smart observation smh.

 

With Dwight Howard, currently in 9th seed

 

well the Jazz who lost their star about the same time are about to make the playoffs.

But the Magic are still very young and most of their best talent is age : 20 21 and 20. So yeah. Young teams don't win.
Not when you projected starters average age are bellow 25. (if you exclude ofc when Skiles had a brainfart and had Frye in).

So it's not some kind of curse.

 

Dear god....Malakas is a beast. Never Sleeps.

 

Sleeping is overrated.

 

Can't sleep when you have that many hot takes! Must...keep...posting.

 

I thought Malakas lives in Greece? Maybe I'm wrong lol

 

If you dont like my posts put me on ignore. Problem solved. kthnxbye.

 

those who do not want to trade dwight are delusional.


it actually looks like we can get a solid package in return with MULTIPLE teams reporting interest. How accurate they are is anyones guess but the facts are this team assembled is currently heading toward the lottery and dwight is definitely not going to resign.

it's best for all parties involved. no bad blood between us and dwight. It's clear MOST rockets fans appreciate his time here and are sad it didn't work out.

 

Which teams are those?

 

LULZ

Boston for the poo poo platter of David Lee and some garbage on top

 

Ha!

I missed those reports.

I've seen reports that Boston, Toronto, Charlotte are NOT interested. Memphis/Dallas doesn't have the assets. Atlanta/Chicago/Cleveland/Miami, so far, is just message board talk. Sacramento is trading you Cousins.

Age + injury + money/contract all working against Dwight/any potential Rockets deal.

 

where did you see the report that Cha isn't interested?
If you refering to Bonell's (what's his name) twitter that's just their beat writer and it was only his opinion.

 

If it involved Avery Bradley as well as the Dallas and Boston 1st rounders? You'd have to look at it.

 

Where did you see that Charlotte is not intrested and Boston is intrested for the right price
