    With a team full of play-makers, with Harden/Lin/Parsons, all he needs is to run n jump. He'll benefit so much from our run n gun, passing game. He better come in here ready to rebound like mad and provide a decent outlet for our guards when they penetrate or run, if not, he's trade bait for J.Smith. Once J. Smith comes here, Dwight's chances of coming increase exponentially as they are best buds. Imagine:

    C: Dwight Howard
    PF: Josh Smith
    SF: Chandler Parsons
    SG: James Harden
    PG: Jeremy Lin

    That's a team right there.

    He isn't. I promise you. Not saying he is the future of all PF's. But Swift, he is not. At worst (WORST) he stays in the league as a Reggie Evans type of player that will just go out, hustle, defend and get you REBOUNDS. That's at worst though.

    I do think he's Morey's piece for Josh Smith. If Rockets can get Josh Smith (DH12's bff), then DH12 will sign with Rockets as free agent. I don't think Morey is high on Smoove, but if he can get us DH12, then Morey will get him. Maybe trade Asik to Lakers as sign and trade.

    Rockets:
    C - Dwight Howard
    PF - Josh Smith
    SF - Chandler Parsons
    SG - James Harden
    PG - Jeremy Lin

    Holy...

    I don't think we will see a lot of Trobb this season. D-mo & Terrence are going to be getting playing time at the 4. Also Parsons may slide to the 4 a bit.

    Reminds me of Landry's tenacity on the boards, athleticism, and his ability to dunk in traffic. I also love his hustle chasing down transition layups. I am curious if he will be a starter from the get go. I can see McHale who is an old school coach making him ride the pine for a while and going with a small ball lineup.

    Write that off and to the next one... We do that until we get someone significantly better than the average Joe

    1. Super Athletic. Not sure what his vertical is but he can get up there.
    2. Legit 6'10 240 so he isn't a tweener. We finally have a PF!
    3. He's a bruiser on the court. In college he just flat out-worked everyone...somewhat similar to Millsap.
    4. He dominates the boards. DOMINATES. I expect him to really help out in this way if nothing else. He's a terrific athlete and he should flourish in our up-tempo system.

    Those highlite flushes look great. Can he hit FTs? Does he have a J?

    Why do Kings stockpile guards? They already have Tyreke Evans, Isiah Thomas, Jimmer Fredette, Aaron Brooks, Thornton. And now Toney Douglas? lol

    Another trade for Kings coming?

    This guy is way more skilled than Patrick Patterson and bigger and stronger than Morris. He can legit challenge for the starting pf spot.

    TRob is actually 6'7 3/4 without shoes and 6'8 3/4 with shoes with a 7'3 wingspan and 8'10 standing reach.

    Terrence Jones is actually taller than him with a taller standing reach at 8'11. Also weighs more than TRob. Take it for what's its worth.

    With Asik and Robinson on the floor we should get a ton of rebounds that's for sure.

    T jones is a nice talent not taking anything away from him but he's not nearly the athlete that Robinson is and the knock on him was he doesn't always play hard. Trob also has a better understanding and feel for the game plus he's been the man on a contending team in college with not much talent around him. Jones team was stacked. There basically the same size and both have NBA bodies. This is a steal u guys r going to live this kid he's amare/griffin clone give him time and he will shine.

    Well, just saw that highlight. The guy is athletic. Also looks like he has some good defense, which is what this teams need.

    And yea, finally we can see some lobs.
