Sources: Houston has started contacting teams about trading Dwight Howard

False.

Both high mileage journeyman bigs entering big money free agency.

Howard has slightly higher value because he is better.

 

That's your opinion though.

Horford > Dwight no question, i agree here

Korver > Jones not for me

Korver is old and his stroke is goin down due to a couple of surgeries, he's on a good contract but still...he's very old and declining, not sure why people here wants him but yeah, a lot o people just wanna see a trade without a reason...

 

The only thing is there has not been one rumbling about that potential deal.

 

Just Maori likes it.

 

Durant isn't coming to this mess in Houston. It would be a lateral move, if not a step backwards, to leave Westbrook and OKC for James and our squad

 

which is how morey operates.

 

Nobody will pick Howard over Horford in a head to head today, what are you talking about...Horford fits everyhere, younger with less (and most importantly less serious) injuries, he'll comand the same money IF Dwight will not get a max...yeah, Horfrod is better.

 

Horford has a much less risky injury history, is six months younger, has a lot less mileage on his body, his game is going to age much better due to his skills, he fits the modern nba Perfectly, and he can play two positions.

Dwight has very red flag injuries in knees and back , has been missing a lot of games in the past two years compared to Horford, his game is based on athleticism and will not age well , can only play C and his max is bigger than Horford's.

That's why Horford's TRADE value is bigger than Howard's.

 

But that is every white player. Everyone hates when black players are passed up for a white boy. It's not reverse racism, it's just racism.

 

At this rate I'd be happy just to get Avery Bradley, Olynyk, and Lee from Boston for Howard.

1. Lee and his $15 mil comes off the books in the summer
2. Bradley is a rich man's Beverly
3. Olynyk is a decent big to get back

It doesn't solve our pressing need for a stretch 4 or an elite point guard but it improves our depth a bit.

The next order of business is to get rid of Brewer's contract and maybe Bev's.

 

I agree. But it makes no sense for Cleveland imo. I hope the deal happens don't get me wrong but I don't see why Cleveland would do it. It would be to crowded in the paint with Lebron Dwight and TT. Other teams would just pack the paint and force Cleveland to beat them from outside.

 

Wow, there's hot takes, and then there's Horford more valuable than Howard hot takes.

 

Unless you can flip Howard into Love or BG, you don't pull the trigger. I get that Howard's stock is low right now, and that those two are unrealistic expectations. Earlier I suggested a Chandler+Morris swap for D12 with the suns (it helps solve PHX surplus buy of Aldridge jerseys). Even that is a losing battle. Trading Dwight right now because you fear you lose him in FA isn't enough motivation to move. It has to be the right move. Guys like Ryan Anderson are who you get for cheap/free, not guys who you send your number 2 for. I say the Rockets roll the dice with D12 in the summer, no team is going to offer him the money he wants.

 

YEAH I mean it's ridiculous to think that a team would love much more to pay Horford at his max of 25 than Howard asking for 30!

Houston in: Avery Bradley, Jae Crowder, Mozgov, Jerebko

Cavs in: Dwight Howard, Corey Brewer

Boston in: Kevin Love, KJ McDaniels

 

Yeah, that's pretty much the definition of ridiculous.

 

I am sorry, but you are wrong.

Both's trade value is basically a rental for the upcoming playoffs and that is it. Injury history has nothing to do with it. Howard will be a much bigger boost than Horford will. What their maxes are is irrelevant.

 

Nice hyperbole, Danny Ainge.

 

I'm shocked Danny Ainge doesn't like what we're asking for! SHOCKED!
