did anyone see that play, i think at the end of the first half last night, where harden had the ball and and iso'ed up the middle. waved everyone off and dwight went to the corner setting up and calling for a three pointer from the side with a giant grin on his face?
Id be all over those trades. But I doubt that Riley trades a young promising guy like Winslow so easily. Even to get a run at Boogie, the trade isn't for getting Dwight its to get Boogie. Youd need to include Winslow in a swap for Boogie. In saying that id happily take Whiteside for Dwight, because it just isn't working how we had planned.
I guess Miami is in win now mode but Howard won't get them past Cleveland or the Spurs or Warriors. That said if Howard wants out let him go. A trio of Whiteside, Capela, Dmo more than makes up for the loss.
Sheridan said the trade discussed in the article is his speculation. The way I see it, these are the facts to consider: Dwight is unhappy, Heat are looking to move Whiteside. The trade he mentioned is his speculation based on those two reports. If the Heat are actually interested in Howard for Whiteside I would be all over that.
I dont blame him , this team should be having a similar record like San Antonio with the talent we have at least , win win for both teams if it happens ..
Miami doesn't have birds rights so they can't go over there cat to refine Whiteside to a max offer and and he is unrestricted
Dwight Howard is extremely unhappy in Houston playing second fiddle to alpha dog James Harden, multiple league sources tell SheridanHoops.com. And with the Rockets underachieving more than any NBA team, look for them to try to move Howard later this season. And the destination that makes the most sense is Miami in a trade centered around Hassan Whiteside. It makes so much sense, in fact, that I will go so far as to predict that Howard will be wearing a Miami Heat uniform by the end of February. This prediction is based upon the fact that the Heat, as colleague Michael Scotto is reporting today, are trying to get the Sacramento Kings to part with DeMarcus Cousins, offering a package of Whiteside, rookie Justise Winslow and cap filler to make the salaries match. Chicago and Boston also are actively making offers for Cousins. Problem is, the Kings are not inclined to move Boogie (although they were on draft night, when a deal with the Lakers for D’Angelo Russell, Jordan Clarkson, Julius Randle and a low first-rounder) would have gotten it done — if the Lakers had said “yes,” which they didn’t). And if the Kings hold firm to that stance, Heat president Pat Riley is going to try to turn Whiteside into the best available center he can find. Not only does Howard fit that bill, he also would be placed back in position to be an alpha dog for the first time since he left the Sunshone State after the 2011-12 season in a trade that sent him to the Lakers, where he was immediately at odds with Kobe Bryant. http://www.sheridanhoops.com/2015/12/15/sheridan-dwight-howard-unhappy-in-houston-headed-to-miami/
I would have agreed with this prior to the start of the season, IMHO however, "in Morey we trust" doesn't ring as true as it once did.
Theory. Howard accepted hero ball when they were winning, but he's not putting up with it on a 500 team.

Some kind of package that would send Lawson, T. Jones and DH and Bring back Whiteside and Goran would be great IMO!
Goran doesn't want to play in Houston/with Harden. Slim to none. Twins towers with Whiteside & Howard?
