    lol

    honestly, if moving asik and Lin will help us, I'm all for it. just don't do it based on the assumption that Howard will sign with you.

    I thought the Rockets avoided point guards with paint allergies.

    What has Morey really accomplished so far? Get to the playoffs every few years for a 1st round exit and play musical chairs with your players in between?

    Not Toronto I don't want to be cheering for the Fng Raptors they suck. At least bring Lin to Boston so we can watch the Celtic games. Losing Asik and Lin for Howard and some backup is not a championship team. I guarantee you the Rockets will barely make the playoffs next year if Morey is dumb enough to pull this off by getting rid of both. If you honestly think getting rid of Delfino, Brooks, Lin, Asik and having Howard plus an avg PG and bench makes you go from 8th to Spurs level sorry but now I see why the Rockets have failed so much in the last few years. I hope this is just rumors because it sounds too dumb to be true.

    Because he is a damn good floor general and defensive specialist. He will make this team better.

    Looks like the Rockets are extremely confident Howard will come. They should slow down. Unless this was there plan rather Howard comes are not.

    Trade Asik for Al Jefferson. That would be amazing.

    Is that the same crack staff that thought Lin and Asik were worth posion pill contracts and are now reportedly looking to move them? I guess because Lin and Asik had never played in the NBA before, they...oh, that wasn't the case at all.

    Or maybe it's the same crack staff that decided it was a good idea to get rid of BOTH our starting level PGs the prior season only to wuss out over a player option and then giving a poison pill contract to a guy who started less than 30 games?

    Trade rumors are exciting. It makes Dwight think Morey is proactive and won't stand pat once he signs.

    Yeah kind of like Rondo making his team better when he went down with injuries. Boston played their best basketball without Rondo because that punk isn't a leader and make the players around him worst.

    Smith isnt anywhere near worth that salary...

    Dwight complaining about chucking...lol

    A team with Harden AND Smith...whew.....Chuck City!

    Smith is soooo over-hyped....and Jones' game is VERY SIMILAR...all he needs is the PT.

    Getting rid of Asik is gonna be a mistake if they do...

    .....book it.....

    yeah Howard can really identify with a guy who changes his plans and focus every offseason.

    Asik is/was an absolute steal. Lin is great when he dominates the ball. He didn't know he was about to turn Kevin Martin into the best 2 guard in the NBA. We might just be ripe for contention in the matter of months.

    What's wrong, dude?
