    The only thing that concerns me other than his jumper which I think he can improve is how he responds to lots of on the ball pressure and traps.

    I agree, I doubt very seriously they trade him unless a deal comes along for a clear upgrade that they cant pass up.

    I think they may have asked around just to get an idea of what kind of value they could get.

    My personal opinion based on FA moves so far this year.....I think they keep Lin and go to war to see what this team can do. If he still doesnt fit this year, then they look to upgrade.....but I really am optimistic that Howard being here will help TONS.....it will give all the guys open looks and open looks always equal to better FG%. All we really need him to do is run a good PnR and hit open shots....if he can do that we are set at PG with him and Beverly coming off the bench as a disruptor.

    Dwight's got a great body, it would be a shame not to expose him.

    Don't think Ron is even interested in Houston. Lakers still deciding what to do with him.

    Hey cyberx thanks for all the inside stuff. You've been awesome on this whole D12 process. Just wondering do you know what's the hold up with all the signings. Seems nothing from Howard signing to Garcia Casspi etc. is official. Any idea why?

    The Rockets have to wait till the 76er Royce White trade is finished to sign Dwight. The 76ers have to wait till Jrue Holiday trade goes through. Jrue Holiday is on his honeymoon.

    Why is Jrue Holiday on Royce White's honeymoon?

    That is how you use logic to make a point... and not wild Chris Broussard-like accusations (e.g. "Dwight hasn't signed because he changed his mind.")

    Thank you PainNoLove :cool:

    I see the 1911 in your handle so I'll assume it's one of those frats that started 5 years too late. ;)

    Since he's not that big I'll assume he's a nupe.

    They need to trade White to 76ers first before Howard signing, and 76ers needs the holiday to NOLA deal to go down before that. Since Holiday is on honeymoon, everything's on hold until he gets back and pass physical. That explains why White's trade is not done and why Dwight signing hasn't been inked. Guess this also explains the hold up with Omri and Cisco's signing.
