Rockets fans need to stop fantasizing about dwight howard!

Is it me or do the rockets fans need to stop this wishful obsession with aquiring dwight howard and start being realistic. In the past decade are biggest fa trade aquisition has been an already aging all star in tracy mcgrady. Our city is never going to pull in the big names because our city doesnt offer the excitement or atmosphere of say a new york, la, or miami. We need to set our goals realistically and start targeting players such as Josh Smith. Hes a solid power forward with great leaping ability, great post presence, excellent on the boards, and fantastic defender, everything we are lacking at this point. Luis scola as much as i love the heart and work ethic lacks in all those categories. I say we throw kevin martin and scola in a deal with atlanta for say marvin williams and josh smith. we get the small forward we need as well as a great post player who can help dalembert on the help side defense.

 

Then in the offseason try to target a big man such as Javale Mcgee who is young and has raw talent. The sky is the limit with this guy and with mchale the king of the post working with this guy he can bring talents out that have yet to be developed. We also would be getting a guy that can provide exstended rest time for dalembert and possibly be a center of the future for us. These are both realistic and yet viable aquisitions that could still put our team into the top contenders in the league. We arent going to get the big name players thats never been our strong suit and thats not what this team has ever been.

 

great response

love how you commented how terrible the post was but yet provided no reasoning for your dislike for it.

So please explain instead of knocking someone trying to have an intelligent conversation.

 

bottom line is both the players i have named bring us that defensive intesity that this team has lacked since the clutch city days. Defense wins championships. Ask boston, ask dallas, as the lakers.

 

offense has never been this teams down fall its the lack of energy and size on the defensive end.

 

? another intelligent response. love these people that have no life that get on here and try to play the cyber clown. If you dont have something intelligent to bring to the table. LEAVE

 

there was really never a reason for him to come here anyways. we dont have celebrities that come to the game. the nba has turned into one huge soap opera

 

great post and very true. I have always prided our team on the fact that we dont need to big names to compete and thats why teams like the lakers and other big name teams have respect for us. Cause we give them a fight and have no quit in our game.

 

what we lack in offense we make up for in defense. the old saying defense creates offense. And in the bigger picture of things we use these players as a possible trade for a bigger fish in the offseason.
