Man, I love all these offseason moves. This offseason has been so fun to watch unfold. If not saddening in some aspects. Ya'll know what I'm talkin about.
era's crumble and new eras begin. the rockets contention era is back

Fosho. Give us a few years though. We are a great organization, and our future looks bright. We've got decent assets and still a solid core. I like our chances over some teams that I've seen rebuild.

Excited for Houston though. Great looking starting rotation.

Dwight Howard's agent, Dan Fegan, tells SI that Dwight has not made a final decision. Says he has alerted teams that he decided not to go to

Is that real? Wow.

I read that as "we've made a decision but want to make a big splashy announcement on our own terms".  Every indication is the Rockets are it.

This makes me so happy.

But the conspiracy theorist in me says Lakers miss the playoffs now and land Andrew Wiggins.

if Kobe lets them tank that is

YEESSSSS

Anytime the Lakers suffer is a great win for Boston!

The downside of this is they are in a far better position to get Wiggins than us. ;D

I thought it was a very good decision on Dwight, the Lakers are a mess and with him and Harden they can be a force in the West. Morey is not done, expect moee moves, especially involving Asik.

(Id trade Lee and Bass and a pick for Asik right now)

if we both tank next year, can our wins at least be that we beat the Lakers :-\

This is a blow for the Lakers but they will have a ton of cap space after next season. Knowing how they work they'll get LeBron.  ::)

G - J.Lin, P.Beverley

F - C.Parsons
F - D.Motiejunas, T.Jones
C - D.Howard, O.Asik

It'll be interesting to see what they can net in an Omer Asik trade.
