    Dwight's coming to Houston, remmeber when Morey said we werent trading for a star before the season starts, and then BAM... we end up with James Harden

    Morey likes to lay low before a big trade

    Won't happen, especially because they're rivals.

    Imagine Howard in Houston!! Not only will it make Howard better, but Lin also (Howard doesnt have butter fingers)

    The Lakers have to get something for Howard. I doubt he'll resign with them.

    Everyone just keep floating more trade rumors to cause an even bigger rift between Dwight and the Lakers.

    Berger and Woj's rumors put together seem to make so much sense for all the teams involved.

    Shouldn't Rondo be the primary handler of the ball in order to be effective...!!:confused:
    Pretty sure Kobe wouldn't be happy with this, so I don't understand how this will make them even better.

    Yeah that's what I thought too. Don't they have to pass a physical for the trade to go through

    ohh my God what if it's not howard for rondo, its Kobe for Rondo. the Lakers then shut down Howard for the rest of the year he resigns In the offseason and bam. Nash retired in the offseason the Lakers give up on this season's hope

    Figure out a way to add EGO to that casserole and then you will have something tasty!

    I was thinking about this the other day. If you were Morey thinking long term, would you trade Lin plus Morris or something similar that fit celtics for rondo?

    I think rondo would be very intriguing with this team. Not sure whether he is a better fit for harden than Lin or about the same. But I love idea of this move then going all in for love. Rondo, harden, parsons, love, asik stay for rotation and let any other chip go for Love.
