I hope you meant those numbers are insane and not I'm insane.

I acknowledge the numbers I posted for Dwight were an absolute dream scenario:

20 pts / 15 reb / 4 blks

Let me give some justification.

20 points per game
Dwight scored 17.1 points per game last season as a second option behind Kobe. He has averaged over 20 points per game for four seasons and his highest is 23. I believe he will concentrate on developing his offensive post game in Houston under McHale and Olajuwon. Furthermore, I think Houston's pace will allow for more opportunities, especially from offensive rebounds.

15 rebounds per game
Last season Dwight averaged 12.4 rebounds per game. He has averaged over 14 a game in three seasons, his highest being 14.5 per game. Again, with Houston's pace and volume of three pointers, Dwight will have more opportunity to rebound. 15 rebounds a game is an attainable number, especially with no strong PF rebounders like a Rodman to steal his boards.

4 Blocks per game
Dwight averaged 2.4 and has never averaged more than 2.9 per game. With Asik backing up Dwight at center, he can be far more agressive on the defensive end. Our defense last season was terrible at allowing dribble penetration and I have a feeling with a player like Dwight, McHale may even adopt the strategy of running shooters off the line and funnelling them to center. Dwight will be our defensive captain much like Tyson in NY, he will be focussed and I'm hoping for a real breakout record breaking performance on the defensive end here.

I understand I may have rose coloured glasses on because of the excitement of free agency. I remember many people on this board predicted numbers of 17 / 8 for Jeremy Lin last July and he only got 14 / 6. If Dwight's numbers are shaved by a little, say 18 / 13 / 2, that would still be really impactful for the Rockets and I would be more than happy with his acquisition.

Well he did say "those are insane numbers", I don't know how you possibly could have understood that he called you insane. First I'd like to actually get Dwight, but I would love 18/13/2 with great defense.

I agree to the fullest, but adding Josh Smith with Harden and Howard don't sound bad.

20 pts

15 reb

4 blocks

If he produces that and can get his free throws back to 60% like 2011, I'll be down with that.
