    Bynum cancels out Gasol, and that's been hurting Pau's numbers. For that reason I hope we don't get Gasol. Would rather have the cap room for another star.

    What are the odds Dwight would act like a little punk-b**** if he was traded here?

    Let me preface by saying that what I'm about to propose is unlikely, I'm all for getting Howard, and a big part of that is a lack of appealing alternatives.

    That said, I could see teams like the Lakers or the Knicks dumping Gasol or Amare, respectively, for nothing but expirings. As we saw in the McGrady deal, if you REALLY want to cut salary, it can be done.

    Can't wait till we get Andrew Bynum's cheap shot taking, injury prone, handicapped space parking lazy ass to Houston.

    Can't wait till he connects on a player Stern cares about and gets banned from the league. He's the biggest tool in the league even bigger than KG.

    I saw Bynum at IAH last summer. Not really sure what he was here for.

    No doubt, Bynum is best center in the nba when he wants to play. I think what's keeping Bynum from reaching the next level is Kobe. Bynum needs 25 touches a night at least. If we get Bynum, you morey haters need to shut up. If morey can pull it off this will be without a doubt the biggest trade in rockets history. It's all an if right now ,let's hope it comes true.

    Have you seen ESPN lately? I say the chances are high unless Morey knows something we all dont about him and the situation. Like some sort of talks with each other/agent on some side agreements to be met by the Rockets for Howard to stay. Then if those things are in place? Then Morey should take the chance. A blind chance as things currently are is a huge gamble as it currently stands.

    Guys

    Trust me. Plenty of teams will clear cap space if they know dwight will be a free agent.


    And we all thought that the "extra money" would make a difference for lebron in cleveland or bosh in toronto. MONEY AINT A THING TO THESE GUYS.


    Dwight will leave 30 million on the table without hesitation to play where he wants. He will make plenty of extra cash in endorsments....



    So, in a nut shell....dwight doesnt care about the extra money and just because certain teams wont have the money currently that doesnt mean they cant free it up by july 1 2013

    Biggest trade in Rockets history was Charles Barkley.
    Second biggest trade was Tracy McGrady.
    Third biggest trade would be Bynum/Howard.

    does Bynum go disappearing or does Kobe dominate the ball and freeze the rest of the team out?

    Perhaps Bynum isn't as dumb as we are to believe. In Houston he is the go to guy on a young and talented squad and guaranteed to be resigned at the MAX next year. He'll potentially have a quality back up in Asik and the Rockets cap space could lead to another major talent joining the team down the road

    I guess only because they want to see us tank, give the rookies their run, and get better through the draft. I personally, want to see the Rockets get Dwight Howard.
