    Oh noes. Asik is a franchise center! Must keep Darrell!

    There's already a large thread that is active right now on this. Don't start this crap when there's another one RIGHT there for you to post your mere opinion in.

    Appreciate the response.

    To your point, I don't think Dwight is the same kind of person as he was when that Orlando team went to the Finals. I also think there is stronger competition in the NBA than there was then. I don't think he's as focused as he was back then in Orlando.

    I know 7 pages are a lot for most people, but man, some posters are really posting the same stuff over and over again that has already been discussed thoroughly or rebutted. If this were 17 pages...

    Why start a thread if you can't comprehend how impossible your scenario of getting Aldridge is in the real world?

    I do NOT want Dwight Howard.

    I'm sorry. I just don't.

    I don't like HIM. I don't like the way he acts. I think it's toxic to the environment around him. I think it will hold back any franchise that has him from winning a championship. He's just a big, selfish, self-absorbed kid. And he's expensive as hell, the Rockets are probably going to have to give up Asik somewhere in the pursuit to get him. I think it's a huge mistake.

    I'm not sure there is an answer in free agency this year for the Rockets. Chris Paul isn't leaving LA. Al Jefferson and Josh Smith aren't the answer. I think the Rockets are actually best served letting these young guys like Robinson, D-Mo, Jones, Beverley, and Parsons develop with Lin, Harden and Asik. Let those guys get out on the court and possibly blossom and then, when their value is more than just hopeful potential, trade them for someone.

    That's just me. I'm not trying to get flamed here, but I just don't like the whole Dwight Howard thing. I think it's destined to fail. He's not mentally strong enough to help lead a team to a championship. If the Rockets could somehow find a way to get LaMarcus Aldridge to play next to Asik and with Parsons and Harden, that's the ticket, IMO. I'm not sold on Lin being a great fit yet but I'm also not giving up on him.

    *****I've posted my OP in the other thread*****

    Internet nerds, you've done a great job today flipping out about this when you simply didn't have to look at it.

    You win.

    Does anyone care what any of us think? What are we all doing here, then? This whole thing's a waste of time, I guess.

    Yea because a scenario where we land Aldridge while keeping Asik, Parsons, and Harden like you had dreamed up is impossible. "That's the ticket"

    Never let the nerds win. It just emboldens them.
