That the Rockets are keeping Dwight "coasting" seem to suggest this can be held off until the offseason. If so, for next year we can just let him recover until maybe 20 games left in the season and work him back in then even if worst case scenario, he gets microfracture. And that's worst case. I mean, it sucks and all, and would explain why making DMo basically untouchable or probing Lopez. But overall even bad Dwight's still an all-star level talent. Just not the top-5/10 talent we expected 2 years ago.
Maybe cuttino is referencing cat. A former wildcat involved? Love the cryptic stuff but i am terrible at it
Josh Smith isn't from here and had no previous connection to Houston outside of being one of Dwight's best friends. So who is still close with some of the Rockets players? Or the Rockets organisation? As mentioned it could be Brooks but I could also see Courtney Lee or Camby.
You realize he has adapted some and has his fta up to 5.3 per game. While not elite it's still really good. As a sixth man he would thrive. He could take the ball out of hardens hands for stretches and would be electric playing off ball when harden is the de-facto pg. He's also shooting 48% from 3 at 6 attemps per game. And an astounding ts% of .652 as well as 75% at the rim. Got morey written all over him.
He'll get another contract. But any team would be insane to pay him max money if he has microfracture(or his knees are deteriorating). I hope the Rockets aren't so blinded by the prospect of letting a "big name" player like Dwight walk that they just hand him a large extension a year and a half from now. Shoot, even if he doesn't get microfracture, you do not wanna lock up a ton of caproom in a physically deteriorating big man who's overly reliant on his athleticism(especially if this team doesn't win a few playoff series between now and his next contract).
LOL...Look what I found In Wikipedia about mentoring and wrecks..... Playing for the Twolves at the moment could be considered a bad situation... ....... ....... .......

Said in one breath ala Ace Ventura.
I'm sure we're all thinking about it, but Codman's posts about homecomings scream Dragic to me. I still remember the day we got Dragic + a pick for Aaron Brooks...man, talk about an ascending stock.
And then passed on the PO and signed Lin instead. The Dragic + pick for Brooks is probably Morey's 2nd best move ever. Signing Lin instead of Dragic is probably his worst blunder.
Kevin martin & Rubio package would be interesting. What would it take to get it done and for salaries to work? JET, Kpap, Canaan, Shved & Nola Pick? Is that enough outgoing salaries? would it possibly be two separate trades with the Lin TE being the center piece for the Kevin Martin swap?
I'm not sure we can put together a package that includes both of those guys coming back. Schved can't be traded to the Timberwolves and neither can Brewer. Looks like we come up a little short unless it morphs into a 3 team trade or a 10 player deal.
would love kevin martin back here coming off the bench with brewer! Rockets are near tax line so it would have to be something like timberwolves in: nyk 2nd, papa, shevd rockets in: k. martin bev/terry harden/martin ariza/brewer dmo/smith/jones "still need a big to space floor" howard/dmo/Dorsey still have N.O 1st for a P.G or Shooting big, but this is a solid vet team for playoffs if howard is healthy.
We should of just absorbed the Wolves into the Rockets at the beginning of the season. They have some fine role/bench players to go along with Harden and Dwight.
