    Faried can play small forward, he runs very fast

    As we need to beat cousins, bucks, Sixers or Raptors, we need Morris and then sign back house or find other small forward

    Harden can give a call to him. bucks, warriors, Sixers and Raptors have upgraded their power forward and center. We need him if we want to get champion

    He would probable have to pay for his own room and food and transportion if they intend to stay under the lux tax.

    Play Chris Paul at center, he can stretch the floor!

    durrant has same height as Faried. Cp3 is short, it is not a good example

    2016: DRPM 2.41 32nd overall in the league
    2014: DRPM 3.03 23rd overall in the league

    Couple of truly elite defensive seasons.

    When was the last time the Rockets played a SF with no 3pt range?

    Mike Dan Tony would sooner play CP3 at center than the manimal on the wing.

    Kieff has some real game - great defender, though not a great shooter.

    But I’m going to wait and see what happens; had high hopes for Wes or Wayne (for no real reason), so I’m going to learn my lesson here

    Absolutely nailed it, even if your evaluation was a bit harsh. I don't consider him a softie, he does genuinely battle even if outmatched. He's a rotation worthy player that can give PJ some rest. The more offensive version of PJ, I think. He has similar rebound and turnover percentages to PJ so he's not going to be a huge liability in those aspects and he has decent size. I think we'd be able to fit him right in. Ryno was literally unplayable defensively last year, so it'd be nice to have a PF who could chip in there.
