Can Houston Rockets possible to pull off D Howard?

so you think if we pulled of a trade for dwight, he would just get upset and not play? no he is a proffesional... it is definetly risky if he doesnt agree to extension, but he doesnt have veto power on trades... even if it was a rental, we could easily make some noise...even being a half a season(less even) we would embrace him and he would be king... pair that with the fact we have the cap to sign deron in 2012 and his really good friend in courtney lee already on the roster... why wouldnt he accept coming here... while im being overly ompotmistic and dreaming over better days, your being extremely pessimistic and un-informed...

 

First off: D-E-F-I-N-I-T-E-L-Y.com

2nd off: Yes that is exactly what would happen. He may not quit playing, but he would pull the same crap he is in Orlando and break apart chemistry. There is no point of getting a superstar with an expiring contract that doesn't want to play there.

If we got Deron, then that is a completely different story, I'm sure Dwight would be very happy to play here.

 

Our money is the same colour as everyone elses.

While it's not likely Howard comes to Houston, it's not beyond the realms of possibility.

Sometimes I wonder if half of the people here are scared of the Rockets being a decent team again, like a kind of Stockholm Syndrome with mediocrity being your captor.

 

As I said before, the only chance of getting Howard is to make the playoffs as a 4-5 seed and convince him that he would be joining a solid playoff team that doesn't lose any rotational player. We have the space to sign Howard without losing any starters other than the Dalembert, but we must first make the playoffs and make a little noise.

Next year

Howard, D-Mo
Scola, D-Mo, Patterson
Morris, Parsons
Martin, (Lee, Bud or someone we draft)
Lowry,Lull

 

Stop this nonsense with mediocrity. We are close to 0.60 with a schedule that is crazy..... 6 road games in a row.

 

Withut a doubt, Fegan has been asked regarding Howard, is it location or cast that's the issue?

If it's the cast, then that can be fixed, if it's location, then only a few would be bothering.

 

No, won't work. The only chance we have to get Howard is to trade for him and gain his Bird's rights so we can offer him more money than anyone else. Then, shape the roster around him with enough space this offseason to sign DWill outright.

First of all, we will not make the playoffs as currently constructed. Secondly, if we make a trade to get to the playoffs, we will be going as an 8th seed, 7th seed as best. Thirdly, if we make a trade to get to the playoffs we likely won't have enough cap space to add both he and DWill in the offseason. And lastly if we don't trade for him now, he has no incentive to come here and sign outright when he can go to NJ and sign outright for the same money and play with DWill there.

The only chance we have to get Dwight and keep Dwight is to trade for him.

 

harden or gordon would be more realistic to match with another good player , id love to have harden i think hes a baller and if not on okc would be an allstar

 

your ignorant... he doesnt want to be in orlando, yet he is still killing it and hasnt ruined any chemistry... he isnt a cancer, he is a professional who is only trying to better his situation and chances... he would play just as hard for us if not harder because we are more talented... without him we can make 7 or 8 seed... with him we could make the 4-6seed... with room to sign deron in off-season he would hear us out..(or we can do another trade for deron)... if we were able to get both deron and howard on the same team, with the ability to pay them more then everyone else... why would he said no to houston... its quite posssible!! just a stretch for sure... because i dont think morey wants to sacrifice all he hads accumulated for two teams(although for two all-stars im sure he would pull the trigger,roll the dice, play the odds, whatever anology you wanna use to pull it off)... dwight wants to goto a one of the big 5 basketball markets, but orlando wants the best return... and orlando is the one making the trade...

 

But D12 has an ETO on his last year, so he may just opt out and leave anyway. We would need him to commit to his last year if we take him.

 

i like both players and are more realistic options for sure... and i would be happy to have gordon and ecstatic to get harden... harden will be hard because he should be starting over sefelosha and oklahoma knows his worth to thier future success...eric gordon has his injury issues(which concern me) and i think would be more attainable...

i would take any star or young borderline star that goes both ways...

Houston Needs Somebody..!!!

 

You think that Orlando is going to give up Dwight Howard for anything the rockets have to offer and you're calling me ignorant? Not only do we not have the players to offer, we don't have the draft picks. There are 29 teams in the league that would be instantly upgraded at the 5 if they got him and you're going to actually stand behind the statement that the rockets are the best option. That's ****ing ridiculous dude. If he is traded, it will probably be a multi team deal getting them picks and good young players. If the rockets are even involved, it will most likely be something similar to the cp3 trade that got **** on.

Hoping for a superstar is all well and ****ing good, everyone wants one. Gotta be realistic though. Gms aren't going to hand him over for nothing. Seriously sit down and think about any trade the rockets could offer for Dwight and if you, as a gm, would accept it.

The can't even trade straight up for pau or cp3, yet they are going to wave a wand and snag the best center in the league.

 

hahahahahaha. wow!!

 

sit back and realize yourself... we would be willing to offer up more than anyone.... lakers are the only ones who would offer more... but highly unlikey they give up both gasol and bynum...we have better draft picks then the knicks,lakers,dallas,and nets... we also have more young talent... we also have established veterans(which is what they're asking for)... so do research before you make uninformed arguements... i have done more reading and research on the situation and we fit every demand and stipulation EXCEPT for ONE... were not on his list... but he cant veto... and while i admit he might not agree to extension... if we trade for him... have the space to sign d.will or trade for him... we COULD get him... do research and then get informed and the talk to me... because were in a better situation then EVERYONE, except if the lakers give up both gasol and bynum along with a third team with young talent... and in order for young talent they would have to give up quality which they dont have after them two... plus theyre two draft picks are HIGH twenty's while ours are lottery and high teens/low twentys....LEARN then argue... its POSSIBLE but unlikely... but dont argue facts when you know none except a biased opinion.....

 

Everyone's opinion is biased. The difference between mine and yours is that mine is educated while you get your facts from clutchfans.


You're contradicting yourself. You list the teams that he prefers as a destination, then, a couple of lines later, say he can't veto in defense of him being traded to the rockets. I feel bad for doing this, because im sure you had to lay down and rest after bashing your head into the keyboard to produce this train wreck of a post, but there is literally no chance of the rockets acquiring him in a trade.

Step back and, take off your homer glasses, and look at the big picture. There are 28 other teams that would love to have Dwight, and you're telling me the rockets will offer more than anyone else. Really? I'm glad you are on speaking terms with NBA gms. Don't talk about facts when you pull this **** out of your ass.

Sure, the rockets have young talent. Is it talent Orlando wants? Most other teams, especially those constant lottery teams, have just as much. Big deal. There really aren't any teams capable of trading for him straight up. If anything, it will be a multi team deal and th rockets might be able to make a deal similar to the pau gasol trade. So your STONE COLD FACT that the rockets can offer a better deal than EVERY OTHER TEAM INTHE LEAGUE is moot.

We aren't getting Dwight Howard for Kmart, scola and Lowry and and a few solid, but largely replaceable benchplayers. Especially if we can't wave a top 5 draft pick in their faces.

 

Crap players, or cap space to spend on players you actually want? Geez I wonder which option looks better, sadly it seems you prefer the former, thank god you don't run an NBA team.

 

We haven't played those 6 road games in a row yet

 

...no...Pacers/Nets/Grizzlies/Clippers/Lakers/Bulls can all offer something if they wanted to that would make what we have a laughing stock. Capitalizing entire words and adding a bunch of periods does not make what you're saying any less wrong. Hell even the Cavs/Warriors/Hawks/Jazz can offer better than we can, that's damn near half the league and you think we have the best assets to offer? Do a little MORE research, because whatever you think you've read has made you utterly ignorant of teams outside of Houston or you just don't want to see what's plainly obvious.

See, even balakoth thinks your post was dumb, and he's a r****d.
