Rockets will pursue Josh Smith if they can't get Dwight

As long as we get a bonafide superstar, I'll be happy... It's been far too long since we've had a superstar in Houston. I know we've had Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady not too long ago but maybe its just the spoiled kid in me that's always seen stars play here in Houston. Even if we have to go to OKC route to eventually become a run and gun, fun team to watch, so be it. I just don't like where we are at right now, which we are just parked, just satisfied in what we have.

 

^^THIS^^

Although, too much of what I'm reading seems like Morey's dreaming way too big here. Or throwing out some smokescreens (although Josh Smith wouldn't pitch a b**** if he were traded here).

Gotta add someone to the mix, though. Josh Smith isn't the sharpest tool in the shed, God love him.

 

Josh Smith has been snubbed from the All-Star game so many times. Top 10 PF in the game. I'd Take him

 

Hey, he'd be a neighbor!

 

Pipe Dreamcasting:

Lowry --> Raptors for #8
Morris + #16, #18 -->Sacramento for #5

Dalembert, Martin, rights to Lull, #5, #8 -->Orlando for Howard

Scola, Patterson, #14, Dallas pick -->Atlanta for Smith

Howard, Camby*
Smith, Motiejunas
Parsons
Lee*
Dragic*

Talk about all in

 

Could indeed be the prelude to a Howard trade:

I think ESPN just rips Clutchfans.

 

josh smith blocks shots and rebounds. what did McHale say he likes yesterday? ...

 

Dragic-Evans-Parsons-Smith-Howard???

 

Would Josh Smith play PF with Howard at C? He better start practicing so he can be a consistent jump shooter.

 

courtney lee + dwight howard = friends

josh smith + dwight howard = friends

courtney lee + josh smith + dwight howard = win

 

Yikes. The shooting on that team would be terrible.

 

Wish I wasn't at work, else I would do it my self, but I challenge Bima or CH to try and find a feasable scenario to land Smith and Howard in trades, while still having max money for Dwill.

Lowry + 14 + 16 -> Tyreke + #5

Dalemembert + #5 + Tyreke -> Howard

Scola + 18 + Montejounas + Morris -> Smith

 

That would be awful. Imagine Howard getting doubled down and low and dishing it out to a 3 guys who would brick jumpshots all year round. Good Slashing team though.

 

Josh Smith is not a game changer.Why waste time and picks for him. He is now like the second or third option on the Hawks who aren't that much better than we are.
Daryl is wasting time now.

 

Exactly. Teams would basically put one guy on Dragic and then pack the paint. It would be a horrible team to watch. On top of that, Josh Smith would have no problem jacking up those open shots and missing them.

 

Damn. Can't type properly...hands are shaking with excitement of the potential deals this week!

 

this! and if morey pulls it off, i'd worry less about howard bolting next year.

 

To me, he is a 3rd option on a championship team. Howard and Dwill as 1 and 2 make Smith a great 3rd option, but i can't see us having enough to pull out a big 3.

 

i know this the end of the month and I am suppose to be hitting quota....and now this!!! ugh distractions
