    Dwight/Dmo would be a hell of a frontcourt,imagine if we can keep Parsons as well.

    Maybe Martin/Lamb/Jones/White/2 1rd for Dwight/Jrich/Duhon

    Sign Brooks

    Brooks
    Lee
    Parsons
    Dmo
    Dwight

    I agree with this assessment. I especially liked Motiejunas. I feel like White is undersized offensively for where he was playing, so maybe they switch it up for game 2. However, he did do some good things passing the ball.

    I love how everybody loves our rookies and refuse to give them up for Howard, lol.

    I just didn't see it. His defense was a huge liability. He simply was not quick enough. Doesn't have the quick twitch muscles needed in my opinion. He can maybe be a backup...maybe. Reminded me of a Scoonie Penn or someone along those lines. Just too small and not athletic enough. Maybe a Carlos Arroyo I guess as his ceiling.

    Because it's probably going to be our rookies + multiple 1st round picks + no guarantee Howard stays + taking back multiple horrible contracts.

    If it's any consolation prize, I was never for trading them for Howard unless it was guaranteed that he would re-sign.

    I'd give up 2 of the three rookies (Lamb, White, Jones), Patterson/Morris, Martin, and all the first and second round picks we can muster + 2 bad contracts.

    Still better than the a**trash Nets offered. Magic should do it.

    For an undersized PF he lacks the explosive hop that makes up for the size difference or the ability to use his weight to bully guys.

    Another worry is if he can't score it's going to take away from his passing game if that's to be his defining ability to stick in the NBA.

    He also doesn't seem to have the defense to keep him on the floor in the real NBa games.

    But the worst part is getting stuck with that obnoxious Royce White only fan :eek: :p

    this here. why give up picks and take on bad contracts that will hurt us in the future if Howard isn't going to re-sign here? That's an even worse spot than where the Rockets are currently at.

    Howard wont win us a ring, i would rather develop these players.

    If we suck, we have 2 lottery picks next year, we might have a chance at Steven Adams, Noel, or Ryan Harrow.

    Dwight is not that important to me anymore, we can try and sign Bynum next year.. and call it a day

    not impressed with d-mo's offense. He is a machine/ he will get his shots/He will get his points.
    What I was impressed with was his awareness on defense, his box outs and his energy level. Last season's rockets, before camby, couldn't even box out. With some dining with maury and ppat's muscle beach workout, D-mo will get stronger. It's too bad luis can't teach him the art of thespian, otherwise d-mo could be the complete player.

    Lamb's shot looks smooth even when he missed those couple of times. I would hate to give him up but you have to give in order to get. =(

    You guys know that Lamb and Jones are pretty gone, right? Magic would be stupid not to trade for Lamb and Jones.

    Looks like I may be right about White. The guy was a player in college but I dont think he will make a name for himself in the association.

    Not to be nitpicky...but he was never going to take trash from the Nets. Just because Bucher announces to the world that the Nets are the frontrunners doesnt mean any of their assets were even close to what Hennigan wanted.

    Webber seems pretty convinced that the Rockets never sign Howard.He said it like three times.

    Same here. Was always against trading the rooks away for a possible rental.

    Think the right way to build a team is through the draft.
