Will Houston land DWIGHT HOWARD?

They made another move today getting the number 12 pick:

I don't see the Rockets trading 3 1st round picks for a feller who doesn't want to be here. Either keeping those picks or using them to get in the top 5 seems more likely. BTW I'd love to see Dwight in a Rockets jersey but only if its long term.

I agree! Chances are that at least 1 out of 3, top 18 picks will end up being a very good NBA player. I would not be willing to give that up for Howard if we are only going to get his services for 1 year. I would prefer to take my chances with the existing picks or package them and move up in the draft.

12th pick....Jerem Lamb from Uconn....

16th...Royce White from Iowa...

18th...Terrence Jones from Kentucky....

[Guest082824]

Jeremy Lamb G/F 6'5"180
"Lamb's sleepy expression doesn't do his game justice. He's a skilled, well-rounded two-guard with terrific range, good size and phenomenal length."

Royce White SF 6'8"270
"He's either a more disciplined Boris Diaw, a nicer Anthony Mason, or a less athletic Chris Webber."

Terrence Jones SF 6'9"252
"Think of him as having Lamar Odom's ceiling (Lakers version) with Lamar Odom's floor (Mavericks version)."


I like J. Lamb...LOVE Royce White & T. Jones is

I like the all Rockets picks but still think there comming up short. They should make the playoffs just as they should have this year. Unfortunatly, you gotta have a star on your team to be taken seriously in this league and rightfully so. T-Mac and Yao were the best thing to never happen to the Rockets. In that, if both healthy, if championships were not made, finding the missing pieces would have been a cakewalk. What's even more dissapointing is that in their departure, there ain't shit to show for it (no true star remains). H-Town has become void for stars to come and shine. Stars want to play with stars and as history would have it, that's what wins championships. No doubt we got stand outs and got depth enough to compete. However, without an unstoppable force on the court, the stars of today just don't have balls enough to take on the challenge with just role players...fuckers

Even though I'm a Mavs fan, I'd love to see the Rockets be relevant, and Howard can make that happen. I don't see Orlando turning down a trade for him if we give up all of those draft picks + a draft pick next year + Scula or Martin (to match the salary).

Even if it's a one year stay, it would be an awesome Fucking year, they'd get so much attention and be the headliners, and I don't see any chance in hell of Howard wanting to leave if he comes.

Slim Thug and Paul Wall can throw concerts for him every weekend, and he can party it up in the titty-bars. We also have the best restaurants in the world, combine that with some drank- Howard will want to stay.

Plus, he will get to hang out with JJ MOTHERFUCKING WATT, he's not like that other Faggot "JJ" that Dwight was hanging with in Orlando (Reddick....) Howard and Watt will be the two biggest stars in the city, I can Fucking see it, those two Fucks can run this city.

I'd love to see the Rockets become a force to be reckoned with again. Does Rudy T have any sons?

[TheDon]

In the Mavs attempt to get Deron Williams, Dirk was in Germany, and Mark Cuban was in LA shooting an episode of Fucking Shark Tank.

Mike Finely and coach Carlisle had to do the recruiting- That's a load of failure.
