    I can't imagine Dwight feeling more wanted by any team than the Rockets right now. The organization is doing him great honor by their efforts to date. Hopefully he recognizes it as such...and I actually believe he must. FWIW.

    I know it's not hard to connect the dots, but shouldn't we be keeping this sort of stuff private? I would think that the cloud of uncertainty regarding our ability to re-sign Howard is part of our leverage in driving the price down in negotiations? The more Houston can make it appear as if we are really risking our necks, the easier it should be to pry Dwight loose.

    Howard is standing a step closer, so it would appear he looks shorter from this angle.

    And so it begins. If the Rox manage to acquire Howard, which looks more and more likely these days, they are NOT going to let him walk.

    If Dwight came here and Dream made him into a champion, it might be the best story in NBA history.

    Like Yoda and Luke Skywalker or some s**t.

    If they were the same height and he stands closer to the camera, he would appear taller, not shorter.

    Oh, man. This would get me much more excited about acquiring Dwight. Finally having Dream becoming more attached to the team (I hope!) and really working with a Rockets big man, post Yao. Howard is more like the Dream in a lot of ways. I love the synergy.

    Hakeem is the Master.

    I love Hakeem and his loyalty to this city. I hope Dwight senses that, and understands just how much it would mean for us if he stayed.

    Olajuwon stands with confidence and pride. Howard stands slouched & indecisive

    Howard is afraid of wolves. Dream will make a hunter of him yet.

    I'm guessing that the team he wants to play for is the Hawks since he's from ATL.

    But this story still makes me feel uneasy. They haven't gotten Howard yet so I'm not gonna get my hopes up quite yet.

    Hakeem is in dress shoes more than likely, while Howard is probably wearing sneakers.

    Is Hakeem going to go to Dwight's door and deliver him an ipad?

    In the interview from when he worked out with Hakeem, he called Hakeem "Master Splinter." Continuing that analogy, which ninja turtle would that make Dwight? I'm thinking Michelangelo.

    i bet if the rockets needed a bucket and had the ball ... dream could still come in and deliver better than anyone rockets have now or will get (including howard)

    Are you demeaning people or their join date on a forum and think that has anything to do with how long they've been a rockets fan..?

    Dream will share some his wisdom to DH. "Stay Hungry Be Humble" Maybe Dream will offer to be on the Rocket's coaching staff to make DH sign an extension with the team?
