Rockets consider amnestying Scola

[TIMMYtoZO]

We don't know the deal yet, and I'm not sure either way I'll let you know when somebody on Clutchfans posts that .

I can't blame Houston for doing this move, tbh. They are better off taking this risk than being conservative. After years of average play, a shake up is necessary.

Rockets fans prefer Bynum over Howard, but I don’t
As far as I can tell, the headline above is correct.

More than 3,000 readers responded to the Chronicle’s poll Wednesday and 68 percent said they would rather the Rockets land Andrew Bynum than Dwight Howard. I tweeted the same question and most of the responses I got also favored Bynum.

Most pointed out he’s younger, not coming off back surgery and more likely to extend or re-sign with the Rockets so he won’t be a one-and-done here.

Some readers like Sean Burns said they’d like to see the Rockets forget about both and continue to rebuild around what they have.

That’s showing confidence in the young players the Rockets have. Throw in two or three more lottery picks, preferably higher than 12th, and the Rockets might contend in, oh, five or six or seven years. While waiting, the Aeros will topple them as the No. 1 winter sport in town. As it is now, the only reason to go see the Rockets at the Toyota Center is if there’s someone on the opposing team you want to see, like LeBron or Kobe or Kevin Durant.

As for me, I’d be in the 32 percent. I prefer Howard, if he would agree to stay more than one season in Houston. I’d be worried about his back, but Bynum has had only one healthy season because of his knees.

And as immature as Howard has acted in recent months, he’s a rock compared to Bynum.

Everyone remembers the Lakers’ final game in the 2011 players when he got tossed for an unnecessary flagrant foul against Dallas’ J.A. Barea, long after the outcome was decided. That cost him a four-game suspension at the start of last season.

Since then, he has gotten caught parking in a handicapped spot so he could unload groceries, talked about how closing games are easy when the Lakers were up 3-1 on Denver only to have the Nuggets take thems seven games and, after the Lakers lost to Oklahoma City in the playoffs, further agitated Lakers fans by saying, “I’ll play anywhere.”

Houston is somewhere. Now if only the Rockets can convince Howard of that …


Not disagreeing with him, but I"m with the majority of Rocketsfans. Bynum over Howard!

Dude, it is done. Howard is coming to Houston, and you ed over the Lakers in the process.

[Indazone]

Morey will not going to be done. Lots of players gonna get waived and more trades on the way.

Will be interesting to see what the final result will be when the season starts. What this Rockets team looks like.

[Indazone]

Now all we gotta do is sign Oden for the Brokeback Frontcourt

[djohn2oo8]

Hope this gets done tomorrow.

[Indazone]

Friggin Scola! New Avatar. Going with G. McGinnis until the season starts.

When this move goes down, how much capspace will Houston have next summer?

Early report from some yahoo on Clutchfans is that if we take on JRich/Duhon/Baby, we will be able to re-sign Dwight and still have $20 mil to throw around next summer. No idea if accurate though.

[djohn2oo8]

And Ric Bucher.

Now they're following Hedo. I think they might be trolling at this point.

They are following Hedo? That is a ton of salary Houston will receive.

Yall Rox es hoping and praying. Why would Dwight re-sign in Orlando Magic Southwest?
if you have to eat those contracts to get Dwight, it wont be worth it.
