Going after Dwight or Cousins?

[RsxPiimp]

Dwight Howard is extremely unhappy in Houston playing second fiddle to alpha dog James Harden, multiple league sources tell SheridanHoops.com. And with the Rockets underachieving more than any NBA team, look for them to try to move Howard later this season. And the destination that makes the most sense is Miami in a trade centered around Hassan Whiteside.




First of all, unless the Heat renounce their rights to Dwyane Wade, NBA salary cap rules will preclude them from offering Whiteside his full market value. Miami would be able to offer between $8-9 million, which is at least half of what the kid can get on the open market. On a full max deal, Whiteside would be looking at a $90 million payday, and nobody walks away from a $90 million payday.


So he’s a goner, one way or another. And the Heat know it.


The solution? Trade him while you can still trade him for something of value. And no place would be a better fit for Howard than Miami, with its geriatric roster built around Wade and Chris Bosh. If you are Riley, and your two best players are in their 30s, why not add a third 30-something and take a swing at Cleveland with that?


It not only is plausible, it is reasonable.

Go get Whiteside, Mitch.

[JamStone]

At this point, hasn't Dwight proven he's a loser no matter where he plays or whom he plays with?

I kind of view him in a similar way I view Carmelo. There's really no team either makes better at this point in their respective careers, even as role players. Regression of athleticism and/or skills combined with the ego each carries makes each a near impossible fit anywhere.

[Raven]

Why the hell would miami keep wade over whiteside? If anything he should resign on a min contract to make numbers work.

[baseline bum]

Man did Miami fuck themselves over with Dragic. No way they can salary dump him with four years on his deal. Wade's not taking another paycut, he's going to probably cost them $25 million a season or worse.

[gambit1990]

rockets should get whiteside and mcroberts in return.

[Robz4000]

Bonner for Whiteside. Who says no?

[D-Wade]

Don't want that scrub Howard. Cousins on the other hand I like.

[~O~]

I want them to trade Whiteside for Dwight. It would be a win win for the Magic.

The Heat should give Wade the Paul Pierce treatment & trade him to a desperate team like the Pelicans (Tyreke/Anderson for Wade)

[UNT Eagles 2016]

throw in D-West too for a 1 year Whiteside rental to be our 4th big

[BatManu20]

:lol talk about fucking D-West over after he took a massive payout to come pay for us

[BatManu20]

In a very Lakers-esque move, they've basically pledged their allegiance to him and want him to retire a lifetime Heater, and he wants the same. He's made it clear he wants near-max money this offseason after taking a big pay-cut to have Lebron and Bosh in town all those years, even though he's well past his prime and doesn't deserve it, and Miami apparently is going to give it him (which is dumb, but still seems likely).

But I'm with you, if I'm Pat Riley, I say take a contract that you're worth or pack your bags and go home to Chicago or wherever.

[Reck]

So he's not happy in Houston because Harden is the #1 guy but he looks at Miami as a destination where he'd be the 3rd guy on that team?

:lol Laughable.

Howard is a little bitch. He's not going to be that guy anymore. He had it with the Magic so he's SOL now.

[LittleCriminal]

I think the rockets need to get a new city.

[BatManu20]

:lol ClutchFans melting down right now. If you want to see some extremely unrealistic trade proposals involving Dwight for other stars or young lottery picks, I recommend you stop by there right now.

Link me bruh, or better yet copypaste them.

Houston In:

John Wall
Nene Hilario
Jared Dudley

Washington In:

Dwight Howard
Trevor Ariza
Terrence Jones


Both offenses and defenses get better. Ours because we'll have a chance to actually get back on D, them because Ariza and Dwight play really solid defense like they always have. We both get better on offense because all three guys shoot well and move the ball around. They get better because they can play inside out with Dwight. Beal shoots like he was born to the sound of a swish and Gary Neal is shooting really well for them as well.

:lmao

[Arcadian]

:lol Howard
:lol Can't make teams better, needs to constantly switch teams to avoid getting pissy
:lol Inevitably gets pissy, switches teams again, cycle repeats
:lol From "superstar" to journeyman
:lol Zero rings
:lol Faggot

[BatManu20]

Yea bc the Celtics are going to give up Avery Bradley and Marcus Smart for Ty Lawson, Terrance Jones, and Corey Brewer :lol

Howard said he is not happy with the Rockets.

Howard and Jones
for
Bledsoe, Morris, & Goodwin
DMtheGM pulls some picks away from the Suns, too. (Or not) We put in picks. (Or not) Just make this trade please

Lawson, Brewer, & Bev anywhere but here for any positive value --> 3 point shooting from any position --> just spacing and scoring off the bench. We have defence already on our bench.

Bledsoe, Harden, Ariza, Morris, & DMo PLUS a bench, too. This season just got real interesting.

[djohn2oo8]

Dwight is done. But he has played hard in Houston. Harden can get the fuck out though.

Surprised at how many Rockets fans have turned on Harden tbh. Especially with a cancer like Dwight on the roster.

because Harden simply outcancered him, especially on court..the whole conception of building team with these two flawed character is coming home to roost..Morey calculator-generated thinking fails miserably when some old school thinking remains tried-and true in this aspect..Some players are just not built to lead or put the team on their back; even in our case i don't think an even keel guy like Aldridge is that type of player, though he could thrive in an environment that cover his inadequacies..

[spursistan]

Whiteside has Marcus Camby gene about him in the empty stat-ness part..he is getting lately benched in fourth quarters and Heat fared well with Bosh at C..i think Miami should trade him for something in value beacuse they aren't paying him unless you think they are letting Wade go ..if they get Cousins in a package that would be a real coup..the Heat awful spacing would improve..

That's what happens when the front office purely rely on analytics :lol

Couldn't find the link but someone on the Heat forum advised the same thing.

[Mitch]

Go get Whiteside, Mitch.

Fuck you, hombre. Blaming me for the team's woes when this faggot is calling the shots

I'm surprised no one has brought up the fact Dwight has denied these rumors...

Dwight has not run his mouth to the media. He has really been on his best behavior and played hard even when he was hurt. Harden on the other hand, ran his mouth about Curry being the MVP, and then came into the season out of shape and put zero work in in the summer. He is a lazy player, and this season is the worst. No way this team should struggle to get to .500 with his talent. Just a waste, like McGrady. At least McGrady played hard here.

Surprised you'd bring TMac down to harden's level. Go back and watch tape of McGrady while he was on the rockets and compare it to Harden. You'll want to vomit...

The thing with McGrady was he was so gifted basketball wise, he got by on pure talent with no work ethic. (JVG would let him sit out.of practice most of the time) He should have been one of then GOATs if he kept himself in shape. But yeah, he played with effort more often than not.

True. I have never liked Kobe but I respected him pre-Achilles because he didn't just have top-level talent, he busted his ass every night.
