No, no you can't.

James Harden is a get-to-the-bucket guy first and foremost. He can't get there with two centers clogging the paint.

TO me, it doesn't make much sense that we wouldn't be interested in this deal.

I think Dell may be playing hard ball trying to get more back for Ryno.

DPShow guest host today said he thinks we're going to trade Ryno for Asik, making Ryno the perfect fit in that Houston offense, without even bothering to explain why in the world the Pelicans would want to do something so dumb.

This trade won't happen because they are division rivals. It'd be different if we felt we HAD to trade Anderson, we'd be looking for the best ROI in that case. In this case we want a good return and we don't want to make a division rival stronger. Houston will get better value back from another team that doesn't care how much the trade helps the Rockets.

I said this another thread and didn't get a response (probably because of my newness). What about trading for Mozgov? Denver just signed Hickson. He made $3.1MM last season and is 7'1". I don't know much about his game, but would he fit? I'd assume Denver wouldn't want the whole farm (Ryno) in return.

Lol Houston played 2 centers together last year in Greg smith and Asik and they did pretty well with the combo. In fact they were better with 2 centers than they were with a C and a stretch 4(Patterson). Harden had no problem getting to the rim with both Cs in the game. You seem to think both would be camped out in the lane when that's not close to correct.

Well the players assigned to defend Howard/Asik certainly will be.

Harden gets the most BS calls. And he flops like a little bitch.

Star treatment. Just like bron, KD Kobe. Sorry you guys don't have a player at that level. Makes it much harder to win. :boohoo:

Took morey 4 years of begging and drafting 6'9 PF's to finally get a star, don't try and act like you're the lakers.

Top GM in the league look what the Rockets roster was a year ago today. Impossible to bash Morey today.

I think more credit goes to the owner for sticking it out. Most teams would have fired Morey at least a year before he was able to start pulling his plan together.

Morey is not the best GM in the league, he's not even the best in his own state. OKC had no trade leverage whoever got harden got $.30 to the dollar. Don't give morey too much credit.

Uh...

Royce White.
Joey Dorsey.
Marcus Morris.

All shitty 6'9 PF's.

If Harden was on this level he wouldn't have choked in the playoffs.
