    of course they don't. Why would they? They got a cheaper younger C. Who is not as good but good enough.

    Too complicated unnecessarily ...
    Ty more valuable to us as FA cap space than as throw-in for Jerebko/Rozier

    Avery+DLee is perfect salary match for Dwight
    Throw in a 1 lotto pick and I say pull the trigger

    Still have no idea how we find a replacement for Dwight as DEF anchor at starting C ... but Rome wasn't built in a day
    Need to jumpstart this rebuild NOW ... not wait until Dwight leaves this summer for nothing

    This also may be a move to make things easier to recruit Durant. We know that Durant is not a big Dwight fan.

    Maybe this summer they are planning to hire Brooks, and recruit Durant and Whiteside to play with Harden. You know Morey has some huge crazy plan. He's always shooting for the moon.

    How does replacing Whiteside and Dragic with Dwight help them win now? Whiteside has been an absolute beast the last two seasons.

    It'd be Tjones. Morey wont give up Dmo if he;s already giving up Dwert.

    what? why?

    That's the best deal of all I have posted.

    George Hill is the perfect fit and Indy's first is better than Boston's first.

    Do you understand how much better Hill is than Bradley? Bradley CAN'T PLAY PG. He has no playmaking no vision he isn't even a good handler or passer. He's only a sg who can guard pgs.
    George Hill is a pg who can play off the ball playmake if needed and play great defence.
    There is no better fit in the league than him for Harden.

    Like a pressurized toilet flush. WOW I can't believe how my emotions have changed since early October. I was chewing at the bit getting ready for what surely was going to be OUR year only to be stunned and then gutted. Have been a rox fan since the ping pong balls fell our way and never have I been as baffled as I am this year.

    The way you worded him being taken inside and not being rim protector I guess must have struck jump shooter funny.

    No I think it's more you overestimating him unfortunately.

    No question, it likely won't be the return we are hoping for.

    What is funny reading the comments is that with all the Dwight hate, of course all those comments are about Dwight wanting out where there has been no mention and Dwight himself has said he is happy and hopes to retire in Houston. Of course the fans who have been convinced by the media to hate Dwight are going to make this about Dwight wanting out.

    Dwight comes with bird rights Whiteside doesn't.
    Whiteside needs capspace to be resigned Dwight doesn't.
    If Heat trade for Dwight they can both resign Wade and go after Durant if they want. Or someone else.

    That's why if get back Whiteside basically it's either him or Durant.

    Also, Morey probably came in begging for KLow.

    Please please give us Lowry. I'll be your best friend. I'll take you to Michael Buble concerts!

    This post can be interpreted many ways. Could you be implying that Howard and/or the Rockets quickly came to their senses and are trying to work out a way to keep Howard instead of trading him?

    Howard, Lawson, TJones are the players Morey should look to move. I believe the Rockets will be involved in more than just 1 trade by next Thursday.
