    He should take his time and not rush like before

    Rockets are going to have to rebuild around Harden, Dmo & Capella. Rockets need Capella and Dmo to turn into stars, if they want to rebuild contender. Capella has to be Howard's replacement. Dmo has to take his game to the next level. Maybe we can sign Dragic in the offseason..:(:confused:

    looking at how howard played of late, he clearly is a shell of his former self.

    Would be sad if he was never truly healthy again.

    We'll be fine until dwight comes back. He's playing poorly hurt and still requiring touches. Let him rest. DMo/jones/smith/Dorsey can hold it down.

    The way these comments are sounding Dwight should look to Clutchfans for a vote on what he should do about his knee.

    As long as he makes it back in time for the playoffs that would be fine with me. While I wish for homecourt the West is a crapshoot and every matchup 1-8 is legit.

    Honestly, as a Rockets fan first - I want Dwight to do whatever is right for his career, and not even consider the Rockets or our playoff chances.

    He should take care of himself above all else -it is his career, and that is why there are guaranteed contracts, and yes it sucks for the Rockets, but that is the nature of the beast.

    Here is to hoping Dwight just needs rest - OPA!

    Get over it. What's done is done. Too late for Whiteside.

    Let's find the next guy.

    Here he is: Hamed Haddadi

    Hamed Haddadi is over in China playing around. He's probably the best big man not in the NBA out there. As soon as we clear out some players in a multi-player trade we need to sign this man to a minimum salary deal.

    Here's him against the Rockets a couple years ago:

    Here's some footage against the Lakers from 3 years ago:

    <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/GM88b0rau4o" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

    Here he's making Timofey Mozgov look like a little kid.

    <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/bMy39iI11tI" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

    Here's a spin move he put on DeAndre Jordan:

    <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/qImNrQs3pIk" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>


    This dude is huge, 7'2" with probably a 9'6" standing reach. He's got great soft hands. Doesn't ever appear to get out of position very much. Not as athletic as Whiteside or Jordan but I think he's probably got a much higher basketball iq than they do. He's got plenty of post moves offensively, sees the floor well, and defensively he doesn't leave his feet, using all of his length. We need to make a multi-player trade and clear a roster spot to sign him to a minimum salary deal.

    He needs to rest. He's had alot of miles on his legs and just needs to heal and get better. In the mean time it is time to show off Tjones. We will then have an asset to trade.

    I'm hopeful that he can have a combo of rest and drainage or arthroscopic surgery and comeback for playoffs.

    No you are a Dmo fan and all you care about is Dmo getting all the post up plays.

    I'm convinced we'll have either Derron Williams or Brook Lopez on the roster in 22 days. This isn't good

    I am a fan of Dmo - and DHo - but I want DHo to just take care of himself, that is all he should worry about now.

    I hated Donatas Motiejunas for the past three years.
    I wanted him cut or traded, but face it man he showed up bigtime this season.
