    You also said that Orlando should be considering the move...so they won't have to "deal with this next year."

    I asked you to clarify that nonsensical statement and your response was that we would have a better squad around him.

    What. Don't. You. Understand. Guy?


    Let's reiterate:
    You: Orlando should move Dwight to Houston so they don't have to deal with this next year!
    Me: Why, WE would have to deal with the same type of scenario...but worse.
    You: We'd have a better team around Dwight.
    Me: What does that have to do with Orlando's decision to move him?
    You: RABBLE RABBLE RABBLE

    No I didn't. I said maybe they could be out of forlorn hope. Of course they won't actually do it. FFS. It's Dwight f***ing Howard.

    You trying to act cool is coming off as douchebaggery.

    His point is clear as day, yours is not.

    Top notch post. This whole situation isnt supposed to make sense. This is one conflicted kid. I dont think he is basking in the attention like Melo did. I think he is realizing that he isn't like those guys, and is having an emotional internal battle with himself.

    He has no point and your defending him with insults doesn't change that.

    He clearly stated that Orlando should at least consider trading him so that they don't have to "deal with this next year."

    I asked, "...but Houston should trade for him, despite an even worse situation?"

    His response of "Houston would have a better team around him" doesn't even make sense when discussing Orlando's decision.

    The whole back and forth started with his statement that Orlando should move Howard. Not who's team would be better with him. Orlando is not going to move Dwight b/c they think he'd be better with HOU.

    But hey, glad you think his point is clear as day.


    I digress. Moot discussion anyway.

    to me, it's no difference btw renting him or not. by the end of the season, w/ or w/o him, rox won't go anywhere. by the end of the season, he would not have been here if we rented him.

    what makes you think we may have #% chance to convince him to stay? if he chooses to stay, why couldn't he stay in orlando? we have 0% chance unless houston were ny or la.

    That's the point, sir. If they had a shot to make the trade, they'd have one. It's why I was wondering why people hated the Pau deal in Dec.

    Because trading for a 26 year old who is an elite 1st-team ALL NBA sort of player is entirely different than trading for a guy who is not elite and is 32 years old already. Entirely different trade. Hugely different. One is a guy you build around..a Batman...the other is a Robin.

    I read the other day that Howard's already amongst the top 5 all time on the list of players who've had 20/20 games.

    A sulking and aging Robin who doesn't even wanna be here for that matter

    I'd rather give away our players for picks and tank than getting Gasulk.

    Howard's not a Robin. Howard is a guy you build around.
