Just 2 seasons ago...

[djohn2oo8]

They were trotting out

Lowry
Martin
Budinger
Scola
Dalembert

as the starting lineup. Now, the we will see what if anything a Harden/Dwight combo can accomplish, but all this would be impossible without the failed Gasol trade that would have sent Paul to the Lakers. Which could have ensured Dwight staying MAYBE. Now, IF this is all true, I have a few more people I'd like to thank.

1. Rob Hennigan - For not taking the Rockets' trash offer for Dwight that Presti eventually took. Thank you good sir!!

2. Sam Presti - For taking the trash offer they proposed to Orlando for Dwight, Giving us Harden, and getting Dwight anyway. Real men of genius salutes you.

3. David Stern - Basketball reasons blocking that trade.

4. Mitch Kupchak - Because you have become the teacher and made us all pay. I sent my check in and it was well worth it.

[Spurs9]

Pretty beastly lineup now

[MeloHype]

9/10

[jeebus]

you might be getting Josh Smith too. Asik wants out of houston imo

[djohn2oo8]

Yeah either Smith or Aldridge. ^^

[benefactor]

Even if it doesn't land them a ring...gotta give props to Morey. Dude has put in work.

Yes indeed nigga...

From the expectations of Chris Bosh and Joe Johnson to the realization of James Harden and Dwight Howard. Probably worth the last few seasons for Rockets fans.

What team is going to help out Houston by trading for Asik though? That's the question.

Plenty of teams have made offers for Asik. Or so I've read.

[HI-FI]

props to them Htown niggas. that is a lineup you guys got. fuck, Spurs have their work cut out. might have to tank just enough to get OKC against you guys again.

and if Asik wants out, I hope there is something Spurs can do about it, though we'll probably just give Manu a $5 million raise instead.

[benefactor]

Yeah...rumors are already out there with the Hawks and Josh Smith.

[Double-Up]

Asik for Smith possible...if he's seeking the max though I would decline that.

:lol

[rogues]

As if this changes anything the grand scheme of things..Houston is ranked third with the Thunderefs in the West, tbh..:lolchinkfans thinking this is like acquiring LeKang..

[BRHornet45]

I hope it works out for Rockets fans, but Howard is the biggest phony and locker room cancer in all of professional sports.

[Killakobe81]

Hey good times for Rox fans ...still don't want Dwight at max but wanted sign and trade but good for you still don't see a title, but I'm jealous of your core.

Shaq
Kobe
Dwight

Sons, That Dude Beli with dem Spurs!!!!!!!!!!

[Technique]

Dalembert was a solid center

[Kai]

Moreyball doing mother fuckin work. Can't believe we went from shit to Harden and Howard in 2 summers.

[Suspect]

Give us Rondo tho

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

Hopefully Houston doesn't fuck up by signing josh smith. He's always been an overrated loser. I've never understood the fascination with smith, he's the type of player you never see with a major role on a contending team. Plus Dwight needs a floor spacer at the 4 in order to be most effective so josh smith makes even less sense when you consider how he'd fit next to Dwight, all he'd do on offense is chuck midrange jumpers he sucks at then get nasty looks from Dwight about it.

IMO Houston should be trying to upgrade at small forward while parsons has good value. Parsons is a solid young player but not good enough IMO. Having a beast at small forward seems like an essential these days between George, Lebron, Leonard, Durant, Melo, etc. but there's not much available unless they wanna gamble on granger.

[Rogue]

Just 2 seasons ago we were the champions and now Dirk and marion are the only extant relics from that team :cry

[Captivus]

I still have faith in Lin, it wasnt so bad this season, and he will get better...

[GuerillaBlack]

I wonder if Houston and Portland can rework that Robinson trade before it becomes official, and add in Asik and some draft picks for LMA.

one of those names definitely dont belong with the rest

Not a chance in hell.

[TheChillFactor]

Really happy for you guys now you get to taste the 2nd round! Be well friend!

[The Third Man]

The miracle wasn't getting Dwight. It took an act of God (or an ex-Rockets executive) to move Royce f-ing White. That pick is the only proof that Morey isn't perfect.

That horse-faced motherfucker McHale is also further proof.

:lol

Doubtful, since Manu didn't get one.

[unforeseen]

Manu deserves a statue outside of American Airlines Arena.
