Happy Farmer?

rumor is that Houston is gonna try to stock pile draft picks and trade for Dwight Howard.

Like Howard would play for Houston.

Its a start. The Rockets need to make some serious moves. Howard and D-Will both have said they won't play for Houston. I think Howard's agent just said he'd still become a free agent even if the Rockets won a championship with him. I think they're all full of shit. Even if we do get him and its one and done then its better than being the 17th best team in the NBA every damn year.

We're also looking at moving up in the draft and Tyreke Evans. I wouldn't mind throwing some big money at Eric Gordan and Roy Hibbert. Force both teams to match since they're restricted free agents.

How would any of these lineups look?

PG - Goran Dragic (resign), Tyreke Evans (trade for him)
SG - Eric Gordan (big $$$), Dion Waiters (trade up), Courtney Lee
SF - Chandler Parsons, Harrison Barnes (trade up)
PF - Luis Scola
C - Roy Hibbert (big$$$), Andre Drummond (trade up), Meyers Leonard (trade up), Marcus Camby (resign)

Andre Drummond and Harrison Barnes will be busts and that team still wouldn't make the playoffs.

They were 2 games from the playoffs this year with injuries and pouting players. Those teams easily win 50 games and makes the playoffs.

Trade story add: Dwight obviously Rockets' dream target but sources say they'll pursue Atlanta's Josh Smith (and others) if ORL won't budge
