    As much as I love Dwight I have to agree.. And he can't catch a bounce pass or dish

    Dwight is a turnover machine NOW because he's lost in our no system play, we had Dwight for three years which in his prime but we never utilized him the right way. I'm not saying we should run everything through him but Dwight was a 2 way player if you know what I mean. Hell Dwight was an MVP candidate for couple of years in Orlando because he had a real coach. Had adelman been coaching this team would helped Dwight a lot. We have no system AT ALL

    There's a lot of players I'd like to trade before Howard. But I am open to it.

    No coach in the world could get thru to a locker room of Cousins and Harden

    Dwight's injured not sure he'll ever be the same. The truth is it's all on Harden and it shouldn't be. We play like we got one star, Dwight makes low BBIQ play after play. I'm a fan but being realistic this option has got to occur to Morey sooner or later. He might opt out and the way the team is playing who would blame him.

    Dwight was never a good fit for Harden. Harden needs a front court that has actual range, which opens up the paint for him to drive.

    The thing is, Cousins is even less of a leader than Harden/Howard, so we would still have that problem.

    Harden had a good game. Who cares about the leader we need someone else who can get their own shot. Dwight post ups are not it. With everyone shooting the way they are others teams just focus on Harden and we're done.

    Every other team in the league: LOL Mowry, remember when you screwed us, yeah we ain't giving you ****.

    Every other player in the league: Nooo, please don't trade me to Houston, I don't want to become a defective Shane Battier clone to serve Harden.

    Does't Harden need a backcourt that can shoot? The bigs have not been the problem. Harden has the drive and oop play down. The issue is when Lawson and Brewers guy just leaves them and also cheat into the paint. If the other guards and wings can't make a shot to save their lives then we are easier to defend...

    Yes, the guards/wings that can't shoot aren't helping the problem either, but Dwight/Jones not being able to shoot from outside reliably also aren't helping.

    Dwight took a pay cut to sign with the Rockets. If they trade him, it's going to really hurt their ability to lure other stars. With that out of the way, even if he agrees to a smaller contract, I don't think the Rockets should bring him back. He can't stay healthy, and it disrupts chemistry. The fact that there might be issues between him and Harden is also a factor.

    Even if Dwight wants a trade, he can't request it, because it would shred what's left of his public image. Both him and the Rockets are linked by their need not to look like the bad guy.

    wtf do you know how few Centers have range? And almost all of them who do are **** rim protectors. You are talking like a stretch 5 is all around the league in abundance.
    If you are going to demand SPACING from your freaking C then I dont' know what to tell you. The pf is another story.
