    Lets face it folks, Dwight Howard doesn't want to be in Houston. He seems to want the new arena, fancy this, fancy that, and most importantly Deron Williams. As a die-hard Houston fan, I think we would be much better off trading the 16 and Dally to the Raptors for the 8. Then trade K-Lo/Bud to the Kings for the 5/Cash/Trade Exception? With the 5th pick we could take Drummond, with the 8th pick we could take Lamb, and with the 14 we could take Austin Rivers, if he's there. I even heard a rumor that HOU might trade K-Mart to the Wolves for the 18th pick. That would free up a lot of cap space. I think we could use the cap space to sign someone like KG. We could even do a sign and trade that would send KG to the Celts for Scola and a future 2nd rounder. What are your guy's thoughts?

    Why on earth would the Raptors accept the 16 and Dalembert for the 8th pick?

    Then trade Lowry to TOR for the 8th pick and do the 16 and 14 for the Kings 5th pick.
