    Andrew Bynum is an injury-prone and dirty player. But he's a good center. Would you want him on the Rockets?

    In a word, yes (though it depends on the asking price).

    He's going to get a fat paycheck, be injured a lot, and won't benefit from the Kobe effect here.

    Only if he's cheap, and that's never going to happen.

    Hopefully he will get a 1 year suspension for the crap he pulled today. I hate JJ Berea but there was just no call for that.

    He's going to be the centerpiece for any offer they make the Magic for Howard...

    By-curious? should have been the title.

    Any seven footer that can walk and chew gum at the same time is more than welcomed to join Morey's assets.

    Eh, No thanks.

    His an affective Center when his on the court and all. But the guy is a diva, his injury prone and has an attitude problem. Not the type of guy we need on the roster.

    I much rather trade up in the draft, and draft one of the young center's either it be Kanter, Biyombo or Valanciunas.

    Dirty piece of crap with a bum knee, but beggars can't be choosers.

    Sign him up.

    he's 23. very good defender. better offensive player than was displayed o far in his career. i think if he was featured more on offense (lets say, a first or second option) then he could easily be an 18-8 type player. when he hits his prime, 20-10 for sure.

    bum knee scares me but it may be worth the risk. its all a moot point anyway. the lakers see him as the future and if they are going to trade him for anyone it will be for dwight.

    Great, someone who is more injury prone than Yao.

    I was thinking a scola-bynum swap wouldn't surprise me....but that leaves LA with very weak interior D.

    Bynam + Scola --> Orlando
    D Howard --> Lakers
    Pau + TukeyGloo --> Rockets

    Rockets =
    Lowry - Dragic
    Martin - Lee
    Turkey Gloo - Bud
    Pau - Patterson
    Chuck/Hill

    hhhhmmmmmmmmmm . . .just spit balling

    Rocket River
    I only say this because I think howard ends up with the Lakers or NY
    We need to get in one any deals!

    I dont think Gasol is much of an upgrade over scola..he's just going to come in and play the same role with 2 more rebound a night.

    So, basically, you are saying that, in reward for taking on Turk's terrible contract, the Rockets would be allowed to swap Scola for Pau.

    Interesting -- I don't think the salaries match up and I don't think either the Lakers or Orlando would go for the deal.
