The official Dwight Howard to the Rockets Thread

[Kai]

you Lakers, can't you just be happy with Bynum?

Calm down Lassie, it's been outed as a leverage ploy. Look for a trade to happen soon after Lin situation.

I don't know why people are acting like we need Howard. We don't. I'm going on record again: I could give two s on whether we get Howard or not. Either way, the Lakers is getting 20/12/2+ from their starting center this year. I tell you what though, if we get Howard, there will be more of this in the near future when they match up:



Bynum is too big and too skilled for Howard to deal with without help. Not saying I wouldn't want a healthy Howard, but admittedly I'm biased towards a home grown/groomed Laker.

Bynum is going to try n throw Kobe under the bus like Kobe did Shaq, but LA brass won't have any of it. If Bynum stays, expect a power struggle. Dwight is stupid and shouldn't be hard to control

Why would Bynum throw Kobe under the bus? I think he was content being #2 on this roster. Sure, he'd want to be #1 (who wouldn't?) but as long as he gets his shots, I think he'll be fine.

Now that we've got Nash - he'll get his shots early and often. That YouTube vid I posted? Would have been at least a 20/20 game on Howard with a competent PG (Nash). A motivated Bynum is dangerous. IIRC, that game occurred around the trade deadline. Maybe the Lakers are trying to keep him motivated by "pushing" for Howard. Works for me...either way.

The Asik, Lin contracts will not impact talks with Magic, per source. Talks on trade for Dwight Howard have taken those deals into account.

On Houston/Howard: Been told reports that Rockets will just absorb all of the Magic's bad contracts are ridiculous.

One more thing on Rockets-Magic talks; they've been ongoing all week. LA-Magic talks also not new, but would involve Rockets as 3rd team.

Morey is not going to take on all those bad contracts. He's smarter than that. He's going to let this play out and if the Cavs or Lakers want Howard so bad, he's going to let them over pay for him. Morey will stand pat on his offer until the last minute and then he might throw something in to sweeten the pot. aka Linsanity

Lol Lin can't be traded immediately.

Just a reminder...a healthy Bynum destroyed Fat Gasol:



Check out when it was 110-109 (Laker lead). Kobe initiated PNR with Pau. Lob to Bynum for the clutch dunk. Unstoppable play. Now imagine Nash in place of Kobe running PNR with Kobe roaming weakside - one on one with his defender.

PNR to end quarters/games will be our bread and butter. Most importantly it will yield a HIGH percentage shot.

Except Dwight hates Kobrick for telling him he'd be the third option, so there'd definitely be a power struggle there too, tbh....

Please, Kobe can give him a handful of sliced bananas and Dwight will shutup & dunk for 40 mins.
