ESPN.com: Houston Rockets trying to trade for Dwight Howard?

[zapatasblood]

So much for that Chinese market
What houston fans think of their Chinese market:



What the Chinese market really looks like:

Funny because it has the one of the biggest population in the world

We can now move on and develop our young players.

Was on the table. Orlando wanted more. RT @highjacka: What happend to that Houston offer?

As an LA i really wanted Bynum in H-town with Lin. Houston really should have made a play for Bynum. They will regret this.

Why trade for him when that same package can get us Dwight? Also I really doubt they will regret it

is official we are keeping our rookies and future picks nice

HOU offered ORL $12M in space (instead of Afflalo), recent 1st picks, future lottery and unprotected picks. Would’ve taken bad deals (cont.)

John Hollinger ‏@johnhollinger
Based on what I’ve been told Houston pretty clearly had a better offer — including a guaranteed lotto pick. Frustrating day for Rox.

[90sAllDecade]

Not a great deal for Orl and really lopsided in LA's favor. I was never a conspiracy person, but it's obvious, despite CBA lip service, the NBA values the super-teams for league revenue (as long as fans keep watching & paying, why would they stop?) and the money/attention of big superstar drama every off-season (Lebron, Carmelo, CP3 and now Dwight) to keep momentum going with no league games being played.

Whatever. I either wanted Dwight to sign or tank. So at least we can watch our rooks develop en route to a high lotto pick(s), which we could perhaps then trade for an even higher one if we don't win the lotto (for Shabazz, Noel etc.)

Don't know if this has been posted from Woj


The Magic decided to send Dwight Howard to the Lakers in a four-team trade instead of offers from both the Rockets and Nets.

Houston's final offer was $12 million in immediate cap space instead of Arron Afflalo and Al Harrington, several of their recent first round selections, along with future lottery and unprotected draft picks.

The Rockets were unwilling to take back any bad contracts in return while dealing for Howard.

rockynpolo - I hope you're joking around and don't actually think that there is not major money that comes with the worlds largest emerging economy.

Like many of us who live here realize, China is a major factor in many of our various economic hubs. Houston has benefited greatly from the China Connection and that is only going to grow over the coming years.

If you go to Woj's actual twitter account, he said the Rox were willing to take back bad contracts...not sure which ones, but they were willing to do so.

I don't know if we'll ever find out what the actual offer was but I'd bet that the one without taking contracts back is it... if not we would have been all over it! I really wanted Dwight to go to you guys!

All we know is that Moray's plan to get Dwight Howard has totally backfired.

Why didn't he draft Tyler Zeller???????

Because of Asik? I don't know.

Though, I think they should've drafted him instead of White. Hopefully White turns out good.

Various Houston businesses just signed .. I can't remember exactly but am thinking that it was 570 bn in contracts with Chinese companies.
Now it didn't say if we were buying or selling... but I'd assume the good one.
