Sooooo if Parsons wasn't on the team last year, he wouldn't have come to Houston? I don't think so...
This wouldn't surprise me in the least. Perhaps that's Fagan overall plan; if DH forced a trade to Dallas, would they then have his bird rights?

Howard is going to expect to lose the first round in next two years, if he likes it or not, who knows?
That was his LAST tweet. The days before he was all over twitter, responding to other tweets and all but on Sunday said nothing. Not sure how he is thinking. Blame his agent.
Morey said this AM on 610 that Dwight and Harden are in the loop on every decision. He also said that Dwight KNOWS what it's like to be on a team that gets "locked in" with contracts on a great team, but not a CHAMPIONSHIP team. Dwight understands more than anyone that you have to be flexible because of his time with Orlando.
Terrible fans here. Howard wanted to go to Brooklyn for what???? What player on that team is better than harden??? C'mon ppl look at the big picture. Harden is and still will be the best player he can play with in 2 seasons when he re ups. Last time I checked thats also the same free agency as hardens best friend KEVIN DURANT. You guys need to calm down. I'll put 1000$$$ in the tip jar if Howard is not here in 2 seasons. Howard likes houston he's a down to earth kind of guy. If you can't see how frustrated he was in LA then you just didn't watch tv. He had a great yr this season we won 54 games his running mate was 1st team all nba. I don't think he's questioning his decision at all. If Dwight really feels we're a first round exit team the next two years then the rockets should trade him tommorw because that would mean he doesn't have the right mentality to win rings as a key piece. Dwight's been to the finals as the guy with no one on his team even half the player harden is. These guys are superstars and top 10 all nba guys yearly. I'm pretty confident they think they can win with them two as the key pieces. Hardens said so recently and Howard has even said recently as last week that no matter what happens we're only going as far as "james and I" take them. Dwight and harden are real superstars in this league and can def get the job done. Sure we need some upgrades around the roster but we don't need a 3rd star or parsons either. We need a team built around these two. Because there that good. It's arguable that any team even has a better tandem then houston so I think the rocket Dwight and harden feel very confident about next season.
I think it's 100% true. Howard doesn't want this team locking in Jameer Nelsons, Rashard Lewis and Hedo Turkoglus for big time, long term money.
Yes... KD is coming to Houston just like Bosh... Lol... If the Rockets are still getting kicked out of the playoffs in the 1st round or 2 when players opt out their contracts in two years _ you are crazy to believe that there is no chance he will leave. It's not just about Harden. It's about Morey/Alexander being able to put a championship team around Howard and Harden and they are on a two year clock to do it.
Typical reactions from some of the fans around here. Do you really think that Howard is gonna follow Parsons around the league because that's who he wants to play with?... Really? Get a grip.. And you really believe that Parsons is the sole reason Howard came here...? Please. Don't think so. So Dallas believes Parsons is gonna be a star and gave him a fat contract. Morey didn't think Parsons was our 3rd star to get us over the hump into championship contention. I personally don't believe he will play up to his value of 15 mil yearly. He would have just been the next whipping boy around here. We now have better defense and value with Ariza, and we're still flexible to make moves. Please get over your love affair. Morey made the right decision.
Oh good, another mind reader. Le sigh. Like I said he would, Dwight is welcoming Ariza. Fans should too. Quit crying over Cuban being stupid and spiteful.
The rockets are the no. 6 in western conference as today, speculating by the radio 610. A chance to be kicked out the first round is not low. I believe Howard will get very upset if he is going to lose the first round for next two years.
