since it's all hypothetical, can we get howard please and flip him to Okc for durant? I think westbrook has all the makings of a leader and would strive with dwight. Asik Parsons Durant Harden Lin back to back to back to back to back to back to back championships!
I agree... and say ta hell with both DHo and Bynum... I'm just fine spendin 8M on Omer vs the max to 'upgrade to one of these overpriced divas... I'd rather stay with Omer and spend the 'savings' on a POWER FORWARD! ....and I'd take Gortat over either DHo or Bynum.... gotta consider bang for your buck - and headaches....
Even in a off year,he's by far the best center in the leaue by far and that's howard. He has a huge impact on the game and has led a below average team to the finals. People can say keep asik and he's doing a good job,probably overacheiving his talent level. Howard tilts the game on both sides despite his limited offensive game. Bynum has bad knees that won't get better only worse. I will take howard and those screaming about that pf ,go ahead,I will still take howard.
Oi... i don't think bynum has ever had the chance to play or reach full potential. It's a tough one really... on skill from what i have seen i would take howard. But based on personality i think i would take bynum. The guy seemed very loyal to l.a. until L.A decided to get Howard instead.
You're deluded. By far the best center in the League and he's on a losing team with 4 former/current all stars. Yeah right. He's a system player who has no post game whatsoever, shoots at nearly a below 50% clip from the line which makes him pretty much useless in 4th quarters and is incredibly turnover prone. His defense is incredibly overrated as well. Impact, alter shots blah blah blah yet the Lakers have one of the worst defenses in the League. D'Antoni's an easy scapegoat but take a look at his Suns teams or even last years Knicks team with Tyson Chandler anchoring that defense and it wasn't anywhere near as worse as this current Laker team. Time to start giving SVG the credit for that Magic team rather than this clown.
I rather have Bynum I dont know how serious is Howard about winning somtimes it looks like he dont care but then again he aint happy either if hes happy he can be the Howard everybody wants him to be
I think we need to reevaluate our understanding of Dwight. He may have overachieved in SVG's system. Ryan Anderson is doing just fine without him and JJ Reddick is having a career year. Dwight looks atrocious without all of his spacing and SVG. You're overstating though, he's dealing with a lot of injuries which clearly is also affecting his play, but that itself is a concern.
I was on the Matt Thomas Show on 790 on Thursday and we was going back and forth on this same subject....My question why are we undervaluing Asik??? He has outperformed expectations and I remembered everyone crying saying we need a center...now we got a legit center and now everyone is saying we need Howard or Bynum!!! The only thing Matt kept saying is if....if....if Bynum and Howard can stay HEALTHY!!!! Omer Asik to me can be a 20 PPG / 12 RPG guy or at least 15 PPG / 12 RPG....cause he still learning his offensive game and another offseason uner Dawson and maybe Hakeem can help will get him there!! Omer Asik: NBA Rankings Rebounds Per Game 11.5 (#3) Offensive Rebounds Total 166 (#9) Defensive Rebouns Total 421 (#1) Total Rebounds 587 (#1) Double Doubles 22 (#11) Offensive Rebound Pct 12.5 (#15) Defensive Rebound Pct 31.0 (#2) Total Rebound Pct 21.9 (#3) Field Goal Pct .535 (#15) Stats are not sexy but they are the TRUTH!!!! Please stop undervaluing Omer Asik for these Divas and often injured players!!!!

@Highway_30: @DwightHoward come join #AnxietyTroopers. Rockets provide santuary for mentally ill & mental midgets w/ best #Protocol #BeWell <-sarcasm D12 is having an off year due to injuries, he is still a top 5 defensive anchor in the league. KG Duncan Asik D12 MGasol Anyone who wouldn't take a chance of him is truly kneejerking. To beat KD or Lebron in the playoffs, he is the best hope if healthy. Lin (8.3)/Beverley (0.8) Harden (13.6) Parsons (0.9)/Jones (1.6) Millsap (10.0)/Dmo(1.5) DH (20)/Smith (0.9) 57.6 million + some vet min + exceptions = a championship contender.
They're both grade-A douchenozzles. I hate the thought of either one on this team, really. I think finding a better back-up for Asik (or developing Smith, who has looked totally lost lately) and a strong, scoring, defending power forward (Does Otis Thorpe have a son?) would be a better strategy. I know it's all hypothetical and based on them being injury-free, but Bynum's knee problems are equivalent to Yao's foot issues. I just don't see them getting any better at this point. Maybe he'll prove me wrong, but even if he does he's a head case that seems like a terrible fit, personality-wise, with this team. Howard's back and labia, er, labrum issues are troubling as well, but to a lesser degree. I just can't stand him as a human being after all of the drama last year. I keep hoping the Lakers fire Pringles and hire SVG.
People seem to have forgotten how good Howard is because he's having a bad year on a team that he just doesn't mesh with.. In Houston he would be the 1st option, with a chance to build his own legacy.. Theres rumors he's done a 180 and is looking at Houston in a Higher light.. Sign Howard in FA (If things don't work out in LA) Trade: Asik, Patterson, Douglas, to Portland 4 LMA Howard/Montie LMA/Morris/White Parson/Jones Harden/Delfino Lin/Bev Thats a contender...
