Dwight update: Not close to a trade with Rockets

40% we end up with Dwight Howard
20% with Bynum
40% chance we end up with neither

or 40/10/50

 

Also Jrich seems to play a lot, he's not injured much...his first yr in CHA
a ok team with Wallace at the time he put up 21.5-I think he's better than parsons
.....but if we keep parsons I like Jrich off as 6th man jterry like...of course
if we get the trade done.
I think y'all need to check JRich before everyone disses his play bc he's not
fragile like Kmart

 

If lamb goes a pick up of Batum & Monte would be perfect vets
to replace Lee, and get a strong combo guy in batum that would
be the best player Howard has ever played with.

 

Rockets get Dwight

Bynum stays in LA and his knees explode right after they sign him to a 5 year max deal

 

Not sure if serious or joking?

 

Knees exploding??? Y'all need some rest, that's ridiculous

 

Yeah they're literally gonna explode, like hand grenades.

 

I've been against a Dwight rental but do understand in this league you need a superstar. The AAU mentality of these players is they want to play with other stars. Bynum is just not in that select group that other players are dying to play with. OK take a chance on Dwight but facilitating him to LA and making them championship contenders for the next decade is just the worst case scenario. Star players will continue flocking to the Lakers to play with Dwight in 2014 when all their other contracts come off the books. With Dwight in LA long term and Durant in OKC just when will the Rockets ever get another window to compete?

If Morey can't get Dwight keep the youngsters and play them. I believe there could be a few franchise types at the top of next year's draft.

 

Joking, or poster has thick rose-colored glasses on.

 

I would like to see the explosion as long as he's not playing in Houston. :grin:

I see OP's point.
Bynum is already getting injections in his knees at age 24.

 

(Likely) Martin + Jones + Pat2 or Parson + a lot of draft picks + cap space for DH12...

(Likely) Rebuild and develop our rookies and young players. In this case, Martin likely will be traded in the middle of this season...

(Not likely) Rockets isn't really interested in Bynum, but I think Morey will still grab him if Parsons, DMo, Lamb, Jones and the Raptors' 1st round draft pick are NOT involved. Indeed, Martin, Pat2, Rollz and cap space are the most I would offer for Bynum if i was Morey... In this case, we probably will turn Bynum into 1st round draft pick or prospect young players...

 

Well stated! Without Dwight or Bynum 3+ years to play offs 5+ to finals contender.

 

It is not that I don't like those guys... it is just that we have 9 PFs in the team...

 

The new CBA did away with BYC except in the case of sign and trade deals.

Dwight Howard has already meet the Lin family...so I'm hoping for the best:grin: see at 1:38

 

Are you sure its so low?

I'd say its more like 50/40/10. I think we are close to getting one of them.

 

Nah, just my opinion man.

I don't know. I guess I'll believe it when/if it happens. Until then, I'm not really confident, ha.

 

Unlike D12, Bynum doesn't fit in well with our rebuilding scheme. Morey probably won't place a good offer for him. Considering Lakers GM is also a low-balling guy like Morey. I don't think we are likely to get involved in Lakers's Bynum-D12 trade.

 

Dwight/Lin=moneymaker for the franchise which is why I think Houston will gamble on Dwight.

 

back problems seem to be worse than knee problems. Both are injured pick your poison
