Howard must have given them strong indications already.

Can we all come to the conclusion now that Lin isn't THAT good now? If he was, the goal would be to keep both he and Harden to add to Howard.

Why oh why would they trade they're starting pg when the center of their dreams would be their? They just need to move Asik to make it work.

Teams believe the Rockets will move both Asik and Lin if they close the deal with Howard this week. Lin, whose acquisition last summer was heralded as a coup, was not invited to Houston's pitch meeting with Howard, sources said. CBSSports.com

I wonder if they think Canaan, Beverly and a vet that has to settle for a league minimum contract can get the job done.

Reports are saying Detroit is interested in a S&T with Calderon. That would be tough on Howard though. HE would not be getting any help on D unless they get Josh Smith at the 4. However, the successful Howard formula is a stretch 4 that can actually shoot.

Parsons will be a part of the team meeting with Dwight according to nba tv.

I guess this is probably less to do with next season, and maybe more to do with the following year when both will be making $14M!

It will be interesting to see if they can be moved...
