    Howard showed during this playoffs he's the best center in the game overall again... but saying all that I say Kings would be intrigued.

    That would be highway robbery for the Clips, Beverley is after all the most skilled player in the NBA:grin:

    Also trade Ariza for kawhi

    Paul
    Harden
    Leonard
    Aldridge
    Cousins

    That team is still clearly worse than the Warriors but a step in the right direction

    True but Cuban is going to offer Bev a max contract with multiple player options so we can't match

    I don't see why Lebron or Elvis would have any influence on this trade.

    Beverley and Parsons will become the next MJ and Pippen and Cuban Will get a statue erected of him relieving himself upon Morey...Tis the Future

    Playoff Dwight and chemistry in the same sentence - you could see there was a lot of issues with on court chemistry.

    I like Dwight, I just think he is in decline, doesn't bring it every night and if we could legitimately get Cousins for him then YES.

    most of the organization wants to deal him away. i say let's open up talks and introduce a 3rd team. i would hate doing this, but i think dallas would bite at acquiring howard.

    i would do it quicker than a hearbeat.

    i think boogie and harden, being on the same usab team last year will do wonders for team chemistry.

    i'm positive morey is looking into this.

    Morey might take risks, but he's not going to put an alcoholic, a young star and a ill-tempered head case together.

    Oh do I lose IQ points reading CF sometimes.

    WE ARE NOT TRADING DWIGHT HOWARD. PERIOD. NEVER. EVER.

    I will be laughing when he makes the Olympic team, that seemingly none of y'all think he can. Absurd. Are we not supposed to be homers on this site? Homers for everybody but Dwight, it seems.

    Stop believing a random "insider", with no credibility, who says that Dwight won't be playing back to backs. Reports say his knee is fine with no lingering issues, and he often played 40+ minutes in the playoffs. If it was like Wade's knees, he would not even be at the Team USA camp to prolong his career.

    Can we, please, use common sense?

    Why don't we shop Harden for Durant? Davis? :rolleyes:

    We just made the WCF, and Dwight was pretty dang good. Get over this Boogie jerkfest.

    If the alcoholic is still a problem he'll be gone. Morey wouldn't allow Lawson being on the roster to stop the opportunity for a 24 year old gifted big. However I see Cousins having little chance landing in H-Town, KD chances are probably better.

    I wonder if Howard rests on back to backs, stays health all year and is in full beast mode in the play-offs for the 3rd season if he will be willing to take a little less than his max in order to stay in Houston? He seems to value comfort so I tend to think he would.

    Giving him a 5 year deal is going to be a tough decision.

    Didn't we just get to the WCF with Dwight?? I think you should reconsider that trade.

    Dwight has shown up in the playoffs the last two years. With Ty Lawson, his production is going to increase.
