    IF you thought our defense was bad before, just wait until you see Al Jefferson attempt to play it.

    Dwight is only worth trading if the Rockets get back some draft picks/young players in return. Big Al and Hawes are neither. The best option at this point is to just keep him and let him re-sign or walk at the end of the season.

    It kind of is. It ensures the bad chemistry remains and we get nothing for him at the end of the season when he walks.

    Regarding Dwight possible trades:
    MIA: rockets continue to ask for Dragic in any deal. Major holdup for MIA with lack of PG depth.
    BOS: Rox want Smart. Deal unlikely. BOS willing to give Lee/Sullinger/Turner/Their 1st rounder
    CHI: Gasol/Noah/Snell could get the deal done
    ATL: Without a 3rd team, unlikely to happen. They prefer Horford. Maybe if BOS got involved w/ Horford they would go after Howard.

    Bad chemistry? The bad chemistry is our role players. Harden and howard need to build some more and i bet if he stays they change. At least I'd hope

    So now does it make sense to everyone why both Magic and Lakers fans have extreme dislike for this guy? He essentially is doing the same thing to the Rockets as he did to both other franchises.

    No way the Rockets get equal value in return. I smell a rebuild coming. Was a nice little run with Howard & Harden while it lasted.

    Maybe Morey can turn the Lawson-Utah thing into a 3-way with Miami, where they get Trey Burke (is that his name?) and both Miami and Houston wind up with less cap hit.
