Last I heard Rockets won't sign Asik's offer sheet until AFTER the Lin situation is resolved.

Based on the "fact" that Howard is doing all he can to screw up any trade with Houston. Have you been paying attention? And I will point out again, this is a "speculation" thread. It's not a "fact" thread. I am giving my opinion. I guess the latest antics of Howard are driving up his value????? :roll:

If you don't agree, that's fine. But NOBODY on here has facts. We can only go by the info at hand and decide what is credible. And then "speculate". Maybe the mods can start an "OFFICIAL FACTS THREAD".
THAT'LL BE THE DAY!

Yea what are the facts because if you are gonna quote Rudolph and ping good luck like i just said if you are listening to the media and you think they have any idea what Hennigan is doing is complete bull[/quote][/quote]

You and your "sources". Use a little damn common sense. Howard is trying to get back at the franchise. I believe those were his twitters. They DO NOT increase his value. And isn't this a "speculation" thread. I keep asking that question when one of you ask for "facts" on my posts but I get no reply.

So why do you act like your speculation is better than everyone else's?? Maybe you should take your comments to the "I THINK IM RIGHT AND YOU'RE WRONG, AND IM GOING TO MAKE THIS POINT ABBRASIVELY, OBNOXIOUSLY AND CHILDISHLY" thread?

Lamb may have been labeled as untouchable by the rox from the start. We have no idea what offers Houston has or hasn't thrown out there. Plus, I'm sorry to be the first to tell you this, jeremy lamb will never he the dominant player Dwight Howard is. Even though I can't state that as a fact, odds are 99.9% on my side based soely on the fact that Dwight Howard is a once in a generation type of player. Ask Matt Carrol how his career has turned out after tearing up the summer leagues. :lol:

Keep in mind I've been an advocate from the beginning of dealing with Houston because of their young talent like lamb and white, but I'm also realistic in trying to judge a talent in the summer league to a once in a generation type of player in Dwight Howard. If Houston could figure out a way to make Dwight stay, there is no combination of players and picks they have that will be close to equal value in what Dwight Howard can give you on the court.

Ps Dwight is a douche bag. That is all.

Supposedly Fran has signed with some other team in Spain. So there is that, we should renounce his rights and be done with the fool.

First off you and no one else no who is "untouchable" with the Rockets. It is people's impatience and listening to the talking heads that dream up the possible scenarios. You can wait just like I have to, to see exactly what is what....PERIOD.

What is the hype with this guy? He's 29 and he averages 8.1 pts 4.4 reb per game...in Europe.
He's not as good as Brook Lopez for crying out loud.

Trade his rights for a bag of new Spalding practice balls. We'd be getting the only balls in the deal 8-)

so by my observations of lamb in college and summer ball, at worst jeremy lamb is nick young and at best the guy could be a decent imitation of tracy mcgrady... is that a safe assumption with everyone?

It seems he doesn't have the court vision like McGrady. At best, he's like Kevin Martin with better defense, ball handling, and ISO play.
