    No, I would never do that. After discussing it with the yoyo, I decided not to post it. There's a good chance it may have been photoshopped, due to time difference. It could be real, but I don't want to start a bunch of fuss over something that may or may not even be legit. I don't know a damn thing about photoshop, so I didn't do it, if it is indeed fake. It wasn't a good idea in the first place, which is why I erased my original post.

    Not necessarily. If the rockets deal Lin and Asik for draft picks and then send picks for someone to take White, Houston will be in a position to offer close to a max contract. They hold the Bird rights to Parsons and can go over the cap to resign him, and would then have the MLE in the future to bring in additional pieces.

    He doesn't mean "superstar" I don't think. Just another All-star caliber player.

    Yet he was in a five hour meeting with the Pistons at the same time?

    Neat trick.

    @MySportsLegion: The Rockets are informing Dwight Howard they plan to pair him with his good friend Josh Smith as well.

    That's understandable. Appreciate it for being honest about it.

    My bad haha. Didn't read the whole post. Either way, I think it depends on what Dwight thinks. If he thinks that Smith is that third superstar, then that's all that matters. I really don't know if I would want Smith, though. I'll just trust Morey.

    1) LMA 2) Milsap 3) Rondo 4) smith

    I'd rather have a more offensive minded 4 than J Smith.

    except dwight would be paired up with 1 superstar in la who is a few years from retirement. Nash and gasol are role players now soon to retire as well.

    This guy is rather annoying. Nash and Kobe aren't superstars anymore. I dont see Kobe being anything close to what he was after blowing out his ACHILLES. That injury is career threatning.

    RickSmith had the picture

    There were somethings that just didnt make sense - it could be real but it certainly wouldnt be hard to photoshop what he had.

    For his sake I said it maybe better to not post it since it would

    1) cause a huge stir and make some fans overanalyze it
    2) when they over analyze they would see the same oddities i did and call it out for being fake
    3) when called out - the way some of you guys were with cyberx and especially with Doc Rocket - would make miserable for RickSmith to post on the board.


    IF Dwight does sign with the Rockets then Rick can post it and also put in the reason why the pic could have been met with skepticism in the first place

    Start at page 15 of this thread to see what I am referring to. Doc Rocket told someone here that Josh Smith would be at the dinner last night with Howard. This is why the Rockets have been so "cocky" because they can offer Howard an elite 2 guard in Harden and his BFF in J Smoove. No other team in the league can offer Howard that except us.

    If true, I don't like that this would be a requirement for Dwight to sign with us. We are good enough as constructed.

    I can see your point about Nash, but Kobe was DEFINITELY a superstar last year. Guy was playing out of his mind.
