    Imagine James Harden and Brandon Jennings in the backcourt for Houston!
    That would be pretty amazing. What do you guys think of these two together?

    two lefties would cause problems....

    i still can't let go of the possibility of a Dragic and Harden backcourt...

    I like the Beverly and Lin combo...these two of loads of potential and i believe we should sit on them...they each bring what the other lacks...they complement one another very well...

    Harden needs to be paired with someone who can consistently hit their jumpshots. Jennings' shooting percentages show he isn't that consistent, even though he can light it up in spurts.

    The Harden and Lin combo is great but they both turn the ball alot causing turnovers. But i can agree with your opinion on Harden and Jennings being lefties and causing an issue. I didn't know Jennings was a lefty. I know Harden is.

    Is paying a pg max money really the Rockets priority compared to other positions?

    Jennings reg season stats are better but I question whether he's even better than Lin. He is as inconsistent as Lin, has consistently shot in the 40% FG range and isn't a good defender. He's also a bad finisher at the rim and has awful shot selection. He was gifted with more basketball talent but I question his work ethic and bball IQ.

    Clutch needs a second sticky thread labeled bad threads in the garm.

    Rockets should definitely do something this offseason!
    Not only should they look into the 1 spot, but also the 4 spot like LaMarcus Alridge. TJones can be second unit at the 4.

    The PG position is pretty solid already. What kind of future is there given that not many big name PG are available for the next couple years?

    I'm more concerned about finding a second star at PF, a capable backup SG and a capable backup C.

    Dragic & Harden would be the most dangerous.

    Jennings sucks, I hate him.

    That just wouldn't be fair to the rest of the league.

    Same problem, need ball in hand to be effective, Harden + Lin, Jennings + Ellis.

    I think he'd be a good fit, but like J-Smoove, he wants big money. He's a handful in the open court, plays with supreme confidence, and can stroke the trey. Plus, he's only 23.
