They're following Durant, lebron and dirk too... Omg omg dynasty


There's a HUGE difference between following THOSE guys and randomly all at once following Duhon, JRich, and Baby. Stop being dumb, cmon.

It's likely the rockets social media team is just following the guys that could be in any potential deal. Just like how I'm following parsons, lamb, etc now. Doubt they'd make the mistake of prematurely following if they knew a deal was about to go down. Or they're having a bit of fun...

I agree with you. Not saying anything is definite, but I would HAVE to think there's obv SOMETHING to this.....even if those are the rumored pieces, it's interesting info

Dont get me wrong I like Glen Davis he is ok but he got so over-valued on this board after his playoff performance. Before the playoffs he was having a bad year fpr us. Bass clearly outplayed him this season. Tge only reason he played good in playoffs was the switch to center.

It may have worked well in one playoff series but im not dpwn w starting him 82 games at cente. He is decent at PF but w tpdays NBA 4's r quick athletic and can shoot. Not only is he a tad slower than most PF's but compared to him playin at Center in the playoffs where he had a huge quickness advantage and then there is a huge drop off.

He is a good big to bring off the bemch at 4 or 5 but nothing that would stop me from pulling the trigger. This is all my opinion but watching regular season I was dissapionted w his signing. Contract is long I wouldnt mind miving him in our rebuild. IMO he didnt husle emuff diving for lose balls leading the league in charges like he did for Doc in Boston. He definetly steppwd it up huge in playoffs. Its like if we dont start him or get him involved early in games he checks out amd doesnt do the sh#t we brought him in to do for 82 ges and not 5.

Nice find with the Rockets salary info this summer. I think they can swallow Turk in cap space now, and Kmart plus some rookies is 125-150% of Dwight's deal. Don't know about J Rich or Duhon though, that's after offer sheets matched space I think.

If we trade Howard, I would like to bring Greg Oden.I know is a huge risk but I`m willing to gamble.

I agree, we should give him a try. Low risk, high reward.
