NY Daily News: Celtics have engaged Rockets on possible Dwight Howard trade

Spoiler

 

That makes 0 sense ><

 

Why is this hard to believe?

Part of the motivation for exploring a trade has to be his contract status. He's already been traded to one team and walked. And they're points are at least in the right direction. Aging, injured, not the same player he once was, wants too much money and a FA.

 

brooklyn isn't that stupid...

 

how many pg do we need?

 

Yes they are because they already gave there first to the celtics.

Brooklyn is that stupid.

 

Marcus Smart is large for a pg..so he would move to sg playing here.

 

Normally I would have a strong feeling one way or the other when I would hear of a trade rumor regarding one of our star players.

In this case, however, meh....

I guess it part of it has to do with the meh season Rockets have been having and part of it due to Dwight Howard not making the needed impact on the offensive end. This, despite, me knowing that he was never an offensive threat to build around to begin with.

Bottom line is this: Both of our stars have very exploitable weaknesses and unless a 3rd legitimate star player is brought in, neither of them is going past 1st or second round at best.

Bottomest line? If you trade Dwight then you are down to one star player on the team and now you go back to the drawing board and hunt for two more...

....meanwhile James Harden keeps racking up those miles, on and off the court.

 

This.

Gotta be real careful what you get in return.

 

Lotto add some picks to Sacramento

 

Not long ago the Nets finally s***canned Billy King so that he could not continue to prison-rape the franchise.

They've gone from "joke of a GM" to "no GM", so I don't know how many deals they can make, good or bad.

Your trade might just be for fun, but it bears saying, if Danny Ainge thought DeMarcus Cousins were available, he'd cut out the middleman (us) and go straight for the gusto.

 

Rockets not interested in trading Howard per Calvin Watkins

 

That's too easy of a question. If he's going to keep getting injured the answer is dmo. If not then I think the order goes 1. Jones 2. Lawson 3. Brewer

Our roster should look more or less

Bradley/Beverley/Terry
Harden/Thornton
Ariza/Brewer
Johnson/SMOOVE
Capela/Olynyk

With our roster missing a piece by trading Lawson and Jones.

I feel with this roster we can really compete with the Warriors lineup of death.

Beverley
Bradley
Harden
Smith/Ariza
Johnson

 

Meh. Any dhoward trade has to include those juicy brooklyn firsts and Olynyk otherwise no deal. Marcus smart isnt really needed on the team, y'all keep looking for pgs but hinestly the rox already have a decent one in lawson and it hasnt been working out, Harden's best mates are still straight up shooters like pbev and thornton. Someone who can handle the rock would just get in the way of harden distributing the ball, and not help him out when he is firing blanks.

We also need a 4. Amir Johnson is exciting and can score. 3 and D players like Avery Bradley you mean?

 

now I will take THIS over that espn piece.

Mannix works with Woj. The ESPN guys were fed minsinformation in the past from Morrey. Other insider from other teams have spoken about Morrey calling about Dwight.

Sorry but at least in my opinion this is the credible source and the truth here.

 

im seeing rockets aren't trading dwight this season. good, no one in boston i really want. plus we'd have to waive someone, and everyone on this team has good trade value.
