30Assists 342 Report post Posted July 20, 2012 Appreciated! Clearly a major troll here =) Hahaha - yeah, well before there was LeBron, there was Shaq. At least part of this, including the anger, is due to that. At least Shaq and LeBron waited until they were free agents before they threw their team under the bus. So I agree with you on that point: I see little chance of Dwight re-signing with us. But I do think the Magic would rather just hold onto Dwight and let him walk (thus clearing cap space), than be anchored to garbage. For Sideshow Bob, I actually think he'd be a good piece on a team, but in no way should he be a centerpiece of a Dwight Howard trade anymore than Brook Lopez was. Finally, keep in mind it seems a huge amount of our information is from "sources" that, again and again, are turning out to be "imagination." I think a deal will go down and, like any good deal, no side will be happy. At this point, I absolutely don't understand Dwight hamstringing the negotiations now that Brooklyn is CLEARLY out of the picture. Just makes no sense.

JrDrex 4 Report post Posted July 20, 2012 Hello everyone, I am a long time Rockets fan and am curious about Howard's back. Any new info? As you guys already know ... we are not lucky with our stars staying healthy. Not as bad as McGrady's back, or Yao's foot, or Grant Hill's foot, or Penny Hardaway's foot. In comparison it's about the same as Hedo's Turkoflu. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In fact, it's pretty much the only thing they've been quiet about for the past year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As you guys already know ... we are not lucky with our stars staying healthy. We are hoping that Howard comes to visit in Orlando and that we can unleash jameer on him and have jameer throw some jabs into Howard's back and take him down.

Knappy1 16 Report post Posted July 20, 2012 If Dwight refuses to play for the Magic - can he play overseas? Can we trade him overseas to the Syrian or Iranian league? Henny to entertain offers from Iran and Syria for Dwight - they both are ok with a rental of Howard. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
For the love of the game 56 Report post Posted July 20, 2012 Hello everyone, I am a long time Rockets fan and am curious about Howard's back. Any new info? As you guys already know ... we are not lucky with our stars staying healthy. His back is fine, as good as new, like there never was a surgery. No worries on that front..... his head is a totally different issue. Surprised it has not fallen off since it is screwed on so loose. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ok, thanks. There is a doctor that comes on the radio station regularly here in Houston and tries to give a high-level overview of player's injuries. He said that Howard's injury should not be a major issue, but he expressed major concern for Bynum's knees. I always take his comments with a grain of salt, because he has not personally examined these guys. I thought it was interesting, because he is supposed to be one of the best in sports medicine. I don't think the Rockets will want Bynum if his diagnosis is close to being accurate. Will not take the risk, because we have been down that road. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

otis_smith 15 Report post Posted July 20, 2012 Finally, about a week ago, rumors surfaced of Houston’s first concrete offer for the center. The terms of the offer? Get ready for this: Kevin Martin, Patrick Patterson, Marcus Morris and Chandler Parsons plus the draft rights to Lamb, White, and Jones. Apparently, along with Howard, the Rockets would have received some combination of Hedo Turkoglu, Jason Richardson, Glen Davis, and Chris Duhon, all bad contracts. http://wayoffbase.net/warmup/?p=58997 This guy is hearing a similar offer to what Ping reported. Perhaps its an alias? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
