    F Dwight, do not even want that crybaby, right try to get a high draft pick and get our franchise changing player that way than this numbnut. He's not that good anyway, the centers of the 90s would all kill him.

    EVEN ESPN WAS MAKING VIDEOS SAYING THEY WANTED TO "TRADE HIM TO A RENTER...TO A HOUSTON" YES THOSE WERE THE EXACT WORDS. Sorry for the caps. GS was the only other renter, and they saw that we had way more to offer than them, so they ended talks when they were outbid.

    I can see LA getting desperate if they lose this season with an older Kobe and putting more on the table to get Dwight. The Rockets will have more assets after this season as well (if we hang on to everyone, which will be tough).

    You're going to wait for a very long time if that were the case.

    I don't think I want another guy who went through drama in Orlando. Those don't work out too well for us.

    That's not true. He averaged 27/16 in last year's playoffs. He thinks he is not gonna with anything there no matter how hard he works with teams like Miami in the league.

    Dwight needs to come play in Houston to see how it is. The Rockets back ups with Dwight is a much better team than the Magic.


    I do. This one isn't injury prone. And the last star center that left Orlando ended up winning 3 straight championships on his new team.

    Sign Deron Williams with cap space and flip Lowry (+ others) for Howard.

    Get 'er done, Morey.

    I think McHale, CD, and possibly Hakeem and Yao would be the perfect net for Dwight to improve his skills with.


    (Boy, I sure wished we had Moses back in our organization too.)

    Im not saying he's not good, just that he's not focused on winning, he's more focused on hollywood and all that ****. The 27/16 to me is the equivalent of tmacs ridiculous playoff numbers.

    I mean dont get me wrong, if he actually forgot about all that hollywood **** and bought into a team concept, he'd be the missing piece to make us a championship team. I just don't see that happening, i agree though, lebron, wade and bosh ruined it by being b****es and trying to form a super team.

    Dwight is focused on winning. He's looking at Lebron, Wade, and Bosh and he's seeing he can't win by himself. He wants his running mates.

    Feigen reported on the day of the trade deadline that Orlando didn't like any of our assets:

    Seems like he's having trouble keeping his story straight.

    Shaq was born in March 1972, and the won in 2006 so he was 34. He averaged 20/9. He averaged 17/7 the following year when he was injured for more than half the season. Even then he averaged 22/9.5 per 36 minutes.

    Duncan averaged 13 and 9 last year at 34.

    OMG not this crap again. Maybe its just me but I'm tired of all these talks for b****-ass superstars. Bosh? Melo? DH? If you're gonna trade the whole team for someone, it better not be:

    1. A rental
    2. Someone who has issues


    Let's get it straight: 1 superstar rental does not equal contender.


    I've never heard of any such deal working, how can someone get invested if he knows he's gonna leave next season? You think DH will leave it out on the court and fight guys for the reb when it might endanger his FA chances next season? Not only that, DH is quickly being exposed as a loathesome human being. He has like 3 children out of wedlock conceived in the same month, and now he's ripping his coach who helped mold him into the best C in the league.

    I like our team now. The team is solid, and everyone works hard together every night. Even guys like Morris who should be disgruntled are jumping up and down when Parsons and Cbud make plays down the stretch. Let's not ruin our team by bring a diva on board.

    Sad part is, no matter how big a douche Howard is, no matter how much he shows his immaturity and nonprofessionalism... teams will still line up to give him a max contract....

    He could be on the sideline, deficate onto a seat and proceed to hurl the feces at SVG - and people would still want to give him max money... where's the justice? He could come here and demand McHale and DM get axed and people would be carrying them to the gallows....

    You have no proof for that.

    I think at the deadline the word was that Dwight would have been traded to NJ.

    The NY Post today writes that the Magic would have traded Dwight to the Lakers:

    Also says that the Nets will pursue Garnett in the off-season.

    I dunno, people here are so gung-ho about Morey, I "in Morey we trust" and such, that if he could pull off the trade to get DH, it would be the masterstroke, and no one could ever get him removed from the organization.

    Plus I don't think Les would listen to DH if he did want to complain up the ladder. Les would release DH for that weak-a$$ move.

    These guys get paid for clicks on their article. Mention DHoward & Rockets as a beat writer to bring out the readers. Rockets aren't getting Dwight. Ever.

    No, Dwight is focused on pornstars, cheerleaders, planking and talking ****. He doesn't have the work ethic or heart necessary.

    Morey did make a major trade before the start of this season.

    Stern stepped in and reversed it. Why do people act like this didn't happen?
