Dwight Howard is a loser and no team built around him will ever win . Afterall this with Orlando, I'm surprised there's people still wanting him. Not to mention his back injury...
That's a non negotiable must for the Rockets to have. Otherwise they have zero chance of building a team with Dwight in the foreseeable future. Picks, Young players, and all the cap space... gone. Yeah right.
Given I would be taking on Turk I would try to hold on to Lamb( despite not knowing much about him).

This was the guy I was referring to chastising his fellow Rocket fan. He does NOT think this is giving away too much.

At least right now they're not. There's a chance one of them maybe even 2 of them pan out and have great careers but I don't think we have 3+ years for that to happen. Lets say 2 of them turn out to be stars in this league... this trade will still be a huge win for us not only in the short term but long term as well.
DWIGHT HOWARD IS the best center in the league. Dwight Howard CAN carry your team to the playoffs alone. DWIGHT HOWARDWILL change the fortune of your franchise.
I'm confident Morey can surround Dwight with the necessary pieces to build a true contender and I'm sure all this only happens with Dwight agreeing to an extension. A player of Dwight's caliber only comes around once a decade or so. He is a top 3 player no matter how you look at it. Make it happen
First of all, how would they tank and remain compe ive?
Second of all, if possible, why would they tank and remain compe ive? The point of tanking is to come as close to insuring a #1 pick as possible.
Dumb.
Magic fans (on their site) 75% love the trade. Some are afraid of going all young (would prefer 3 way and landing Bynum). I know most fans arent smart, but that would have me a little worried that Magic fans feel this a GREAT deal.
But Rox would have a superstar to potentially build around ... can't be mad at that.
Whats with you losers trying to be the first to break news on this forum, so anxious that you create a thread when it hasn't even happened? Pathetic.
Who is breaking news? Just a place to put Dwight to Rox specualtion. Pretty much everyone posting in here realizes ESPN has been off their reporting lately. But Stein and Woj have both reported on this, so at least there is smoke. We shall see if it catches fire.
Simple...remaining compe ive doesn't mean making the playoffs it means not being obscure with absolutely no hope....which is what they'll be with no Bynum. Cleveland and New Orleans are prime examples... Tanking while remaining compe ve.
Ever emo much?

Classic...this guy is going to blow a basket if Dwights back doesn't hold up or he walks after giving up all those picks. I mean what are the Rockets going to sell him on. They will be weak at virtually every position...even with Dwight the Rockets have zero upside..this is so hilarious...Rockets are free falling
Except it was a minor mensicus tear and he'll be ready for training camp, B...
Let's not go overboard, B... Dwight did lead Orlando's garbage to the Finals just a couple years ago, tbh...
Jonathan Feigen: Very good comments coming in. Objections seem to be giving up so many kids (they're not) and Dwight leaving after 1 year (he might.) 1 hour ago

Just get a deal done. This is dragging out way too long.
If Kobe wasn't making half the Lakers' salary cap, he would demand a trade to the Heat.
I swear to god if we trade for this mother er on friday the 13th...
I'm getting drunk and it is only 12:04 pm lmao
So what players in the league would you say you can build a team around and have a legit shot at a le?
There's LeBron and Durant, maybe Kobe (depending on how done you think he is), Dirk I guess (though he doesn't have the team), maybe Rose... who else? Unless I forgot and left someone off that list, Howard is the next closest player in the league to a guy that gives you a shot at a le if you put the right pieces around him.
Short of situations a GM can't really control, like falling into drafting Antonio Davis, Howard seems like the best guy available for giving you a chance to build a legit contender. I don't blame Houston, which is sick of having a lot of good players but no great ones, for trying to take a swing at the fences with Howard.
Great deal for the Magic. ESPN Trade machine must be broken, it rejects that deal out of stupidity I guess ...

When it comes to the Rockets pursuit of Dwight Howard the 4 letter network is incorrect with what the rockets would send. Much less.
http://www.probasketballnews.com/new...to-add-howard/ORLANDO – At this time next week, expect the Dwightmare to be over.
Sources that have been right all along on this — check the Twitter timeline starting Sunday, July 8 — believe the Houston Rockets will be able to finalize facilitation of the Orlando Magic’s coveted rebuilding strategy shortly after Chicago center Omer Asik’s situation is settled
Is the Asik deal signed?
That deal is way worse if they get Howard.
Also Houston is stupid for pursuing Lin. They need money for another max this summer and the biggest name is a pg.
http://nba-point-forward.si.com/2012...de/?xid=cnnbinThe Rockets for now are going the trade route, banking on their ability to persuade Howard (or Bynum, or whomever) to sign on for the long haul because of Kevin McHale’s coaching, the franchise’s heady environment, Morey’s ability to tweak the roster quickly to Howard’s liking and, most important, the extra year and money only an in bent team can offer its own free agents. Variations of all those factors helped the Nets re-sign point guard Deron Williams. ...
By taking all of these Orlando players in exchange for promising young talent, the Rockets would essentially become a Western Conference version of the team that Howard has already deemed not good enough for him. The Rockets have obviously thought about that and determined that the whole thing is worth the risk. Maybe they’re crazy. Maybe they’re not.
For one, Howard likes some of these guys. The Magic acquired Davis in part because Howard requested him specifically, and the star center also has a good relationship with Richardson. Turkoglu’s and Duhon’s deals expire after the 2013-14 season, and both are only 50 percent guaranteed for that season. If ownership is willing to spend, the Rockets could buy out both players and gain immediate cap flexibility — either for a lopsided in-season trade involving another high-priced player, or a huge chunk of cap room for use next summer. (Depending on how many of the Rockets’ young players depart in this theoretical deal/buyout scenario, Houston could have somewhere between $11 million in cap space and near max-level room).
Not yet. He will get matched after Lin, and then the trade will go down.
Expiring contracts like that...Will have Rudy Gay on his way.
