 Big talk of Houston trading their 14 and 16 picks and Lowry and whoever else to move up and get 2 top 10 picks then trading those to Orlando for Dwight Howard. For entertainment purposes I’d love to see this, and I’d love to see Dwight in Houston and the Rockets getting a franchise Center, they’re just not right without one. Hakeem & Yao. Orlando would get a chance to rebuild with two top 10 picks.

 

It sounds like this.

Houston trades Lowry & #16 to Toronto for #8

Houston trades Morris, Montejunas & #14 to Sacramento for #5

Then Houston tades #5 & #8 to Orlando for Dwight Howard

 

So line up for 5 teams look something like this

Houston

PG: Dragic

SG: Martin

SF: Parsons

PF: Scola

C: Howard

 

Orlando

PG: Nelson

SG: Rivers #8

SF: Turkaglou 

PF: Anderson

C: Drummond #5

 

Sacramento 

PG: Thomas

SG: Thorton 

SF: Evans / Harkless #14

PF: T. or P. Jones #14

C: Cousins

 

Toronto

PG: Lowry

SG: J. Lamb/ Ross #16

SF: Derozan

PF: Bargnani

C: Valacunis

 

eh?

if Houston gets Howard. But what if Howard doesn’t resign w/ him? It has been said (random articles from realgm.com) that Houston is the only team willing to trade for D12 without him signing an extension. Personally, I think Houston is forcing the issue too much because of the NBA blocked Gasol deal. They have great pieces and can make numerous trade offers with all the quality players they have.

I would make a new offer for Gasol: Lowery and 16th and Scola for Gasol.

Keep the 14th and draft BPA.

basically Houston trades Lowry, Morris, Montajunas, #14, #16 for Howard, not bad for Houston even with Howard only having 1 year.

Houston is willing to trade for Howard even he doesn’t extend beforehand, they biggest problem is if they can make those two moves to get the two top 10 picks, seems like a lot of hoops to jump through just to get a chance to get Howard so I’m not sure they’ll get through to get Howard.

I say that Houston doesn’t trade to get Dwight because I doubt he’d re-sign. They would want a guarantee and since it takes Dwight a long time to be sure of anything don’t expect it to happen…at least not by draft night.
