Official Houston Rockets 2013 Offseason Thread: Welcome D12 to Houston!

have fun at the 12th spot in the west

I hope you really dont believe that.

lakers goin make the playoffs, granted as a 7 or 8 seed, but still 

 

[Peep Game]

Once again, have fun in the 12th spot. Sure, only 1 team can win a championship, but don't cling on to that card since your team is looking like they'll be buried next year and won't even sniff a title.

He's going to win you a lot of games at the free throw line. Sight

Maybe we'll even get lucky and win a chip. 

As long as we win at least 28 games we'll be good.

All my views on Dwight aside. That move has the potential to be a very solid signing and at least for the first season it should look like the move of the summer.

However a tiger usually doesn't change his stripes and with how he handled things with his past two teams I'd be skeptical long term and I would've said that if he resigned with the lakers as well due to his personality. He's one of the best players in the league though.

No hate or trying troll your season thread. Just saying how I feel. I'd be happy right now if I were a rockets fan but at the same time id be slightly skeptical long term come years 3 and 4 in that contract off of his past track record.

Not immediately. There's still important needs on the roster. Team chemistry is HUGE too when you're trying to compete for a chip, but I love the direction we're going in, getting Harden then getting Dwight Howard is just the beginning.

^beat me to it

few more pieces are needed.. A 6th man that can put up some firepower, a backup center (assuming asik gets traded) and a solid 4 to balance out the starting lineup.. I would really love LMA on this roster. That midrange is all day 

 

[clutch 713]

Only thing I'm not looking forward to....is the rise in ticket prices we're gonna see..

Not much of a D12 fan, but i thought this was dope.

i've narrowed it down to about 4-5 sections. looking at 2.5 stacks

 

[markangelo]

anyone watched the game? Tjones definitely looking good.. I think he breaks out this season 

 

[do work son]

Watching it now, maybe Terrence Jones can be our stretch 4?

 

[do work son]

Or at least be a high low player with Dwight

 

[markangelo]

If he can be a poor man's Josh Smith, then I wouldn't mind keeping Asik. I can't believe Asik wantsto be traded. Having him and Dwight makes us bigger than Memphis

Nah, he has a better jumpshot, showed a little bit of it last year extending out to the 3pt line, but man, he's a man amongst boys playing against the summer league and D-League competition. If he can stay more consistant, and with his motor and style of play, he'll look excellent next to Dwight.

The combo of D-Mo/Jones/Asik/Howard

 

[markangelo]

I remember the dunk he had against the Lakers using his off hand. What a thing of beauty

been lurkin since 06, never signed up tho, are you on cf?

Man I hope Asik can come to terms with backing up Dwight. As good as he was as a starter, he would be that much better with the bench going up against other benches.

I'd also rather Lin become a 15/8 guy than get traded, cause Parsons would be so hurt
