    Bynum is a knucklehead, but KG is a total douche and it never stopped him from winning rings.

    Dude Westbrook isn't a friggin choir boy. He bangs his chest after damn near every dunk. He's not a hot head to the degree Bynum is, but he's nobody's choir boy.

    Thanks. So, any indication whether we're willing to risk renting Bynum too? I'd assume so, but the idea is that we pay less "rent" in trade consideration for Bynum than Howard.

    If Bynum comes here, I'm sure some handicap spots will open up for his car

    Although I picked Bynum, he does not excite as Howard does. We would still need other additions. Hey, atleast it's someting.

    That's what I mean. He tried (and failed) to change. He's still the thug he was before.

    And the only thug I want associated with the Rockets is BimaThug.

    Game 1 of the NBA Finals.
    Bynum gets dunked on by LeBron.
    Gets mad and elbows LeBron; LeBron over exaggerates contact, gets wheeled off court.
    Bynum suspended for finals and part of next season.

    That's all it takes people.
    This was an extreme hyperbole but pretend the player that Bynum knocks down is someone that has the sense of mind to embellish the contact and pretend Bynum tried to kill him.

    Risk too high.

    AS for KG he is a douche, but he never did anything that endangered his team's success. He "intimidates" people on the court to play mind games with them. Bynum on the other hand elbows people because he's self-serving his desire to get revenge on players that show him up.

    KG has just the one ring. But point taken.

    Sometimes a person has to be better accustomed to a city and then eventually they will warm up to the idea of the city and what it can provide for him/her.

    I believe Dwight Howard would go through that stage in him getting more familiar with the city and eventually giving in and signing a long-term max deal. :grin:

    Man, Bynum elbow video is making me horny. We need toughness. The guy hates to lose. Personally, I believe he hates playing with Kobe. I mean he singlehandedly beat San Antonio by just demolishing them inside when Kobe went out with injury. Bynum is a beast that needs to be unleashed.

    I prefer getting Howard who is the best player among all players involved. Even if he decides to leave after the season, we can still acquire Bynum/Horford in a sign-and-trade with Lakers/Hawks or simply sign Bynum in free agency. The key is that there will be only few possible destinations (Atl, LA, Hou) for Howard unless he is willing to take less money.

    Also, I am more worried about Bynum's knees than Howard's back.

    A terrific bit of fiction. Being in the Finals is a nice touch!

    I'm not as excited about Bynum as you are, but I would welcome him here. He would be something that Houston has lacked. A tough, hard-nosed legit 7-foot Center. Him and D-Mo together would be intriguing in the coming years.
