Finally, some realistic trades emerging for Howard. The proposals from the Nets just didn't work for anybody but them, and hinged on them signing and trading SIX different players

That shit was never gonna happen. Why should all those guys have their contracts dictated at gunpoint? Maybe 3 or 4 of 'em would say yes but there was always going to be one Matt Geiger-like dude who said screw you, i want my money.
The Rockets have a decent chance of keeping Bynum if they get him, I think. He would be their star, it's a big city/market, McHale is an easy-going coach, and as good a mentor as a big man could want, they have plenty of role players...he could do very well there I think. And they'd have his Bird rights, which turned out to be huge in the D-Will situation.
And Howard alongside Gasol, Kobe and Nash? Are you fucking kidding me? Whatever it takes to get that done, I'd be doing it right now if I was Mitch Kupchak. Howard was still dominant even when coasting, and for most of his career he has been fully engaged. This is not true of Bynum.
