    Rockets would settle for Bynum.

    hahahaha:rolleyes:

    lamb is a rookie, D-mo is a rookie… we aren't winning the title with that lineup.. sometimes this board is FULL ON TexAgs..

    no one else has a problem with probably paying our BACKUP center 8 mill a season?

    so u might as well take Lamb and Jones off that roster because they will be shipped to orlando

    we will get either Bynum or dwight. i can guarantee that.. so asik will be our backup..

    IMO, the logical play is Dwight to Houston before the season, then Morey evaluates scenarios at the deadline. Why? All other packages being offered to ORL are comprised of anti-tanking assets. There is no 3-way without HOU involvement that satisfies ORL. So extend the "3-way" arrangement to the deadline under our terms.

    So is Dwight's current rehab progress what's scaring us away from him? Or do we just simply value Bynum more. Also, I'm still curious what you think we would have to take back in terms of contracts from ORL if we were to facilitate Dwight to LA.

    I think Bynum and Donuts would look pretty solid together. Dwight is great, but he will never have the offensive game that Bynum has. That said, Bynum will never be the defender Dwight is.

    i meant this year as for a contending for a championship. Doesn't mean next year after a year of experience we cant take it to the next level.

    Don't mind the signing Asik but if we end up with Dwight or Bynum, that contract is a lot to be paying for a backup.

    I would like to do this but a little change instead of give them White i would give them Morris and instead of turk we would take Richarson and Big Baby, i would throw in Dallas first rounder also. once this is done would release Livingston, Forbes, Harrelson. so lineup would looks something like

    Jeremy Lin/ Livingston/ Machado(dleague)/Douglas
    Lamb/ Richarson
    Parsons/Jones
    DMo/ Davis/ White
    Dwight/Asik / Davis

    How are we going to get Bynum without giving up any of our 3 rookies?

    If Morey pulled that off, I'd polish his marbles.

    P.S. wtf Dragic? More like Lee/Lamb.

    Don't compare Asik to Yao.

    Yao actually could score consistently, so far all signs point to Asik being more like Perkins, good defender but a liability when asked to get points.

    *Perception*
    Howard is the most exciting player out of the two.
    Bynum is the most complete out of the two.

    The only reason Bynum hasn't won most of you over is because of his history.. the lack of focus.. But here with the mentoring of Hakeem, McHale (And even Calvin Murphy if broadcasting this season) He would beast for the Rockets... And Rockets wouldn't have to give up AS much.

    LA Times reported that LA would take back Jason Richardson but NOT Hedo.

    I am guessing Hedo to Houston (possibly).

    Steve Blake was told he might be traded as well to Orlando, so I am thinking Duhon to LA as wel.

    These are educated guesses, not confirmed or told. Just an educated guess on what I have been told. (trying to put pieces together)

    Well if you are Morey you have to think. Do I get Dwight and give everything up to get him and risk having him walk? Or do I get Bynum and know he will be here for 4 more years?

    It's all a game of risk...

    Could be a Bulls ploy, they want Asik just not for that much.

    If Bynum does get traded here, I expect alot of clashing going on between him and McHale. Just dont see those two characters mixing well together long-term.
