Paul will be dealt in a sign and trade for Jeremy Lin. Howard will sign as a free agent. They will join the youngest team in basketball and will be favorites to win the West. C-Howard PF-Smith SF-Chandler SG-Harden PG-Paul.

Lol Paul for Lin ? Plus the Rockets aren't paying Asik all that money to sit on the bench. It would cost them too much to release him.Comment -
nah nahComment -
Asik is not making a lot of money. He is going to be a beast of a back-up.Originally posted by SportsPedagogyComment -

I don't want Howard here. He's a retard and already getting injured. His steroid dealer is probably short on supplies and he missed a cycle.Comment -
Paul isn't going anywhere. /end threadComment -
very curious to see where howard ends up. he will likely wanna play in the east. Brooklyn no longer wants him as Lopez has finally gotten over the hump and stayed healthy. I wouldn't be surprised if he resigns with LA.Comment -
do you realize the NBA has a salary cap??Originally posted by Sledge187Comment -
Your avatar is what his face probably looks like right nowOriginally posted by gryfyn1Comment -
They backloaded and spread out the cap hit. Those are pretty significant cap hits. That's a ton of money for a backup C, and he is a C only. That would be a ton of money to pay someone playing 10-15 mins per game.Originally posted by Sledge187
If they were to get Howard they'd have to find a way to unload Asik.Year Base S. Bonus Misc. Cap Hit 2012 5,000,000 - - 8,374,646 2013 5,225,000 - - 8,374,646 2014 14,898,938 - - 8,374,646 Comment -

Paul headed back to NOComment -
If both Paul and Howard have any hope of winning a ring, they will leave their respective clubs.
Having said that, I don't see this happening. Maybe a small chance Howard comes to Rockets.Comment -
Mavs will probably go for them. They have cap space to spare with all their short contract players.
And do Rockets really need Howard? They have Asik and should go for another PF like Big Al or Millsap to help him out.Comment -
paul + howard in dallas is a more likely scenarioComment -
Dwight Howard has been working out with Hakeem Olajuwon in Houston in the offseason for the past couple of years. So he trains in Houston and is comfortable here.
Saying that, I don't even think I want him here in Houston. Dude looks like he has no heart. I know Lakers are old and done. If Lakers are dumb enough to give him a Max contract, he'll stay, because I don't think he cares about winning.Comment -

If the Clips can add 1 more piece, they're definitely contenders with what they have now.Originally posted by Sport_FishComment -
Paul and Howard will not win in LA and they both know this, so I think they're headed somewhere for sure. Paul is a competitor, so he'll move to where he thinks he has a legitimate shot to win. I do think he gos where Howard will go, Paul is fedup with losing. He might want his own superteam.
Harden, Paul and Howard sounds nice. The GM Daryl Morey for Houston is one of the best GM's in the NBA. He traded for and got the star he wanted in Harden for merely scraps. Don't ever underestimate a MIT grad.

what piece is that? Their front line have 0 offense. Until they develop some thing they are useless.Originally posted by mcdugglyComment -
Blake Griffin is the most underrated offensive player in the league. He led the team in scoring.Originally posted by Sport_FishComment -
If I was a GM of a team... had unlimited money I could blow. I wouldn't offer Howard a deal. He-Man body... She-Ra brain.Comment -
I wish he would've never left. He's won as many playoff series with the Hornets as he has the Clipps! But I realize there is more money to be made in LAOriginally posted by dotada

Six completed seasons versus one completed season and you think the same amount of playoff series wins is a valid indicator? Shame he had to leave NO but his future with clips is far brighter.Comment -

its not like 2 players are ever going to win a championship... Paul+Howard could easily not make the POComment -

I think LA fans got there feelings hurt. The Clippers are one of the worst run franchises in the history of sports. There owner is not motivated by championships. The Lakers got preferable treatment from the NBA for years to win/scam titles. Hows that NFL team treating you Willie.................................. ...... forgot you guys don't have one.
