Rockets fans-Do you want Dwight Howard??

[king]

Rockets cut Aaron Brooks, and Carlos Delfino.

Emboldened by their pursuit of free agent Dwight Howard, the Rockets have called several teams and made Omer Asik and Jeremy Lin available in potential trades, league sources told CBSSports.com.The Rockets are oozing with confidence that they will lure Howard from the Lakers, and are making contingency plans to construct the team around him."They already have him, if you talk to them," one league source said.If the Rockets land Howard, Asik would become expendable. One potential destination that rival executives have identified is Philadelphia, where former Rockets executive Sam Hinkie is the Sixers' new general manager.Rival teams say the Rockets are making Lin available, as well, though they'd have to get a starting point guard in return. As part of their cap-clearing maneuvers to land Howard, Houston waived Aaron Brooks and Carlos Delfino on Sunday. The Rockets are off the hook for Delfino's $3 million salary, which was non-guaranteed.Teams believe the Rockets will move both Asik and Lin if they close the deal with Howard this week. Lin, whose acquisition last summer was heralded as a coup, was not invited to Houston's pitch meeting with Howard, sources said.

What if Rockets trade Asik, and Lin for Rondo?!

There is too much going on.I CANT HANDLE THIS.

Rondo isn't going anywhere.

With Boston in full rebuild mode you never know, offer some picks and young players they will take it.

[/quote]Rondo is still a young player. If he was to be traded the Celtics would have drafted Shane Larkin.

Rockets will make offer to Josh Smith, if they don't get Dwight.. I would love to have Josh Smith.

[navydawg31]

josh smith with Dwight great. josh smith without Dwight we get a part time player...

I don't want Dwight. Asik is just fine and I think in the next 2-3 years will be much better than Dwight.

[/quote]Laker fans think that, but in reality its about a 1% chance of that happening. Lakers are currently looking for a Center in Free Agency right now.

I originally didn't want Dwight but it is what it is. So I guess they'll sign him, possibly sign Josh Smith, trade Asik and Lin to Boston for Rondo. Next years starting 5 could be Rondo @ Point, Harden @ Shooting Guard, Parsons @ 3, Smith @ 4 and Howard @ Center...
