No, I wouldn't trade him. After how hard we pursued him, we'd lose all deal-making credibility for as long as Morey was GM or maybe even as long as Les owned the team. Zero potential for us ever getting another star to sign with us.

My gut just says that he needs to be allowed to get healthy and reworked in the offense to be more effective. I'd say the Rockets still haven't figured out how to consistently use him. It's clear that D-Mo has inherited the Hakeem post moves, not Dwight, so I'd restructure his game so he can still be an elite defender but have different avenues for scoring. And assisting to the outside scorers from the inside. A healthy Dwight defending well and really generating significant points efficiently is absolutely a huge win for us. I just don't see the chemistry as part of the overall team that I'd like to see right now, though.

And, of course, every Dwight post has to end with this: If he doesn't learn how to make free throws (even 65% would be immensely helpful), he's not going to be the killer factor that we're paying for. Also, if the modus operandi of his defenders is to hard foul him before he gets to the basket, he's going to suffer even more injuries as they just whale on him every night.

Nice post. I can easily see D Mo with Dwight at games end and D Mo getting the pass so Dwight can rebound as needed. D Mo fouled ? he's chillin pretty good at the line. A lot slams plus one on this premise.

If it's really "bone on bone" like Howards says, then you won't be trading anybody for anybody. We'll be talking retirement.
