Rockets attempting to acquire picks to complete Dwight Howard trade

[MiseryCityTexas]

Atlanta are rumoured to be cleaning house too. Would rockets want to take on Joe Johnsons contract to run Dragic, Johnson, Parsons, Scola, Howard?

I hope like shit that the Rockets can get Joe Johnson (and even Old Mac)

Aldridge confirmed what i suspected tha noway Dwight stays in houston beyond next season so whats the point in giving two lottery picks up for him?. Kevin Martin to Wolves for pick 18 and a player makes sense.

They don't really have the assets to get TWO top ten picks.

Lowry an pick 16 to the raptors,blazers or the kings 1st pick is a certianty.Another deal was in play to for anther lotto pick.

Isn't Houston also looking to move Dalembert?

I've heard that Sacramento, and Toronto have been real positive in discussions with the Rockets. Certainly a lot of very interesting possibilities.

I call his bluff and see if he is truly going to leave like 20-25M on the table.

Kevin McHale could teach him some legit low post moves and turn him into a very, very good low post player. It seems like Mporey and Les are putting all their eggs in this basket. For our sake i hope it comes off but every year we rummors

No shit.

How funny would that be. Morey gets his sabermetrics stud back and the Kings re-aquire Dalembert. It'd have been like a double loan stint.

Ironic indeed. Rockets obviously get he better end of this deal for sure.Hayes can backup Scola and Camby backup Howard. Plenty of defense and rebounding.

Good point. More like $40-50 Million.

Espescially if Deron does go to Dallas.

There really wont be any sort of way Dwight will be able to sign in Dallas without forfeiting a lot of money, a lot of money he wont make back in endorsements considering Dallas isn't exactly LA or NY.

Chuck Hayes signed with Sacramento last year.

Chuck Hayes signed with Sacramento last year.

He'll be returning as part of the trade packiage and not as a free agent. That is the rummor.

Wow. That was a quick trip in Sacramento.

He was a bad fit for them from the get go.
