James Harden plans to be an active member of the Houston Rockets' recruiting efforts this summer.

"Hell, yeah," Harden said. "There's a lot of good options out there."

Asked specifically about the Los Angeles Lakers' Dwight Howard, Harden broke into a smile and added: "Maybe. Possibly."

The Rockets will have max-level cap space to utilize this summer.

A Dwight-Harden combo would be deadly! If Dwight truly is all about winning it is the logical choice.

he is tired of having to do everything himself...he wore down at the end of the season along with injuries due to having to do too much...good for him to recruit.

Usually we would say that if he is about winning than he should stay with the lakers. But Morey has shown he's just as good as kupchack if not better.

Josh Smith would seem like a good fit -- a shotblocking combo forward who plays excellent defense and protects rim and can get out on the break -- Howard is a chemistry disaster. AK 47 is another who comes to mind, though not as good as JS in part because of being injury-prone.

Kinda disagree with them getting Josh Smith while he's a nice player I think he's a not really the scoring and defensive type of 4 that the Rockets need I think the Rockets if they can't get a guy like Dwight need to go hard for bigs like Paul Millsap , Al Jefferson and others (I do like AK47 as a possible pickup for them as well although he probably wouldn't start on the Rockets).
