    Dwight= Huge Mistake

    1. No one knows how his injury will affect his play
    2. Getting Dwight doesn't= getting D-Will. D-Will has no guarantees that Dwight will stay past 1 year if he signs (he might choose a more stable alternative)
    3. Dwight has shown he's a flight risk in Orlando
    4. If we get Dwight and no other compliments we are Orlando. We get a playoff spot and that's it. Dwight never got Orlando over the hump


    * Too many things have to fall into the right place.

    Package 14/18 + Martin and move up the draft for 7
    Keep Lowry (everyone is forgetting how good he is)
    Sign/Trade Dragic + Ppat + 16 to Hawks for J-Smoove
    Bring over Llull
    Lowry/Llull
    Beal/Lee
    Parsons/Morris
    4/5- J-Smoove, Scola, Camby, Donuts

    That's a surefire way to lose in the 2nd round of the playoffs.

    He took them to the finals being the only star past a LeBron led Cavs. I consider that pretty good if you ask me.

    I guess Beal at 7 isn't realistic. Leonard
    Scola for sign in trade Jamal Crawford

    Lowry/Llull
    Lee/Crawford
    Parsons/Morris
    J-smoove/Donuts
    Leonard/Camby

    No it doesn't.

    The teams really isn't being gutted. The Rockets would be good enough post Dwight to be right back in the position we are in NOW.

    Stuck ****ing Mediocrity!!

    When you have the chance to get a top 3 player in the league, you do it. Unless you want the 14th pick again next year, and then hey, I bet we could get ourselves another serviceable role player!

    over rated...very predictable post moves...and lacks coachability...if he doesnt respect the Lakers's big men...he surely wouldnt look to improve here in Houston either...

    Losing two high draft picks (5TH AND 8TH- if attained) just to rent this overrated DIVA that doesn't want to be here!

    Or the team could keep its two top 10 picks (which would have to happen for the Howard trade work apparently) and rebuild now instead of bringing in Howard, winning 50 games next season and then getting dropped in round 2 of the playoffs only to have Howard leave so that the Rockets suck for a season before it could get back into the draft lottery.

    Why waste two years before rebuilding? With Lowry and our picks, it sounds like the team is ready to start rebuilding through the draft now!!!
