    Is this at all possible? We need someone with Balls at Center.

    No team is going to do business with The Rockets as long as Morey is the GM.

    yup. I would be shocked if any team deal with us. We're basically blacklisted.

    Owners, GM, Players all hate us now because of Morey

    I think with Westbrook, what we really need is a stretch 5. This kind of reminds me of the Miami heat with Lebron and wade, where wade could not space the floor. They didn’t win a title until they moved bosh to the 5 and added another shooter to open things up.

    This is an interesting thought. I would do it. Our paint defense will instantly be leaps and bounds better.

    Get used to this team or start looking for people desperate to get back in the NBA. The transaction history going to be bleak and skinny this season.

    Adams would cost $11M more this year and another $11M more next year, compared to Capela. Put a different way, Adams' contract is about 175% the cost of Capela's. Add to that sending the extra salary along with Clint for matching purposes, which would probably mean a key rotation guy.

    Nah. I'll pass. Adams is good, but he's not $26M-a-year good.

    I know this sounds extremely crazy, but one of the benefits of having Westbrook is he can really make someone like Hartenstien a very poor man's Adams. They actually mesh fairly well and I would expect Harden to have more Clint/Tyson time and Westbrook to have more Hart/Nene time.

    I didn't think about this until you said and I could not agree with it more

    they should wait until DMO becomes an intergral part of the sharks and then make him join the Rockets. That will really piss off the Chinese!!

    I dont know what Clint did this time. Probably being soft again. Nobody wants Adams though. He'll just start handing Westbrook rebounds again. Clint has to learn. It's still preseason.

    If balls it may trigger a Dreymond sighting.

    It is not just that our interior defense sucks but there is no help defense at all. A lot of rebounds there isnt anyone on the entire team there.

    I was thinking this exact same thing.....Westbrook and capella doesn't work too well. Capella doesn't have those big lanes to roll down because the defense doesn't guard Westbrook jumper the same way they do james....

    We need a center that can shoot, problem is only thing we have is Anderson - who didn't look bad at the five - but not great.

    Who could we trade cc for? Kevin love?
