    Yeah that's true..... Not exactly a defensive specialist
    A prime Pippen is still a all star....
    Don't know who that maybe..... Damn I can't sleep anymore..

    What about we deserve some "luck" as Rockets fans... then ending it with wish me "luck"?

    I would take Rondo.

    Dude has only played 10 games back from a YEAR off of basketball and he's averaged 10/5/7 in those games. Shooting 37% from three as well.

    In only 27mpg mind you.

    I don't think it's Granger. Parsons and Granger play the same position.

    I'm thinking Rondo... MAYBE Lowry.

    Joe Johnson kind of fits the description if #7 means anything. If not Deron kind of fits the same description. 7+ a penny is #8

    Hoping for Lowry but I doubt it.

    Would you give your left nut for Nene?

    Not sure WAS has needs for our guys. They got Gortat at C already and have Wall and Beal in the backcourt. Nene and Ariza fill needs for them and get plenty of minutes.

    Actually I sold Westbrook's contract short. He has an extra year.

    http://data.shamsports.com/content/pages/data/salaries/thunder.jsp

    I think it's extremely unlikely that the Thunder trade Durant at any time before the 2015-2016 trade deadline. And that's only if he's 100% gone. But I doubt it. They'd still be a contender even then.

    I'm willing to build upon this current group if two things happen. One is that Asik is willing to become a backup. This is possible, but in the back of your mind, you wonder if he's buying into things. The other is that we must add a stud wing defender. Level of Artest or Battier back when they played for us.

    Luck of the Irish. Celts. Rondo and Gerald Wallace (Pippen like, MJ traded him) for Lin Asik. Throw in a number 1 from Celts.

    Ive been saying ariza before he dropped ten treys on us. He's essentially another rookie version of chandler parsons on defense with a great set shot but worse ball handling. A perfect complimentary player next to a bunch of our wings that all can handle the rock.

    Trevor didn't work for Houston at the time because we were asking him to be something he wasn't capable of, but coming back this time in his new role would be perfect. He'd be in a similar situation like LA again. Spot up 3, slash, play the passing lanes, and lock down other wings.

    Agreed.. BUT.. Who do we have that the Wizards would want? In order to match salaries, it'd be either Lin and Asik. They already have Wall and Gortat manning those positions. Unless a third team is involved it then this would be highly unlikely.
