    Now I realize that there are about 35000 threads on this topic already but i wanted to bring up something that i have been thinking about... Honestly, unless we get a superstar (through the draft, free agency, or trade) Morey really needs to trade either Kevin Martin or Luis Scola. I really like both players, but they are both horrible defensively and having them on the court at the same time hurts our defense so much. Now I realize that these rockets arent exactly stocked with defensive talent, so even without one of these guys the defense would still be suspect. Obviously we need a starting center to help clog up the paint and provide an anchor for the defense... and i hate to sound like a broken record but the AB situation is god awful... Lowry has been solid, he has terrible nights and he has great nights, but he busts his ass and hustles EVERY game, which is something not many other players on the team can say. But honestly, he is just a solid starting PG, nothing more. That is completely fine, as long as we can find a way to trade for a good backup for him. I would love for us to get Gasol from memphis, and there are lots of PG's available for the right price... I'm not expecting to Morey to land Melo, but I sure hope there is some truth to these rumors that we are working to land a starting center by the deadline. idk, what is everyone else's thoughts on this?

    use paragraphs bro, that was painful to read. Did not make it far down, but I think this should go in the random trade idea thread.

    Rookies lol :grin:

    It's that click the refresh button, and checking in as often as possible waiting for that first hint of something!! Everyones expecting at least something to go down! I was all pumped yesterday with the CLee news. Things were looking as if they were picking up. Pretty quiet again this morning though.

    Y'all can say whatever you want about me being a rookie to this website, but im just a concerned rockets fan who thinks that some real changes need to be done. im really hoping this trade deadline brings in some new talent and depth to the roster. Nene would be great, landry too...

    Wait a minute....You're concerned about Defense and you want Nene and Landry? Nene might be slightly better defensively while equal offensively to Scola and Landry is worse than Scola on both sides. You have no idea what you're talking about.

    I am concerned about the defense, but it seems like morey doesnt really care too much... and out of all the realistic options we have to get a starting center Nene is one of the best. he isnt a great defender but he is much bigger and better defensively than scola, hill, and miller. Plus he is a real weapon in the low post and his scoring could really help in the 4th Q of close games. everyone thinks the rockets offense is good but its really not that great. they are kinda like the texans, they just look good statistically but they don't usually come through in the clutch... and ppl are really quick to hate on landry nowadays, but he was praised by pretty much every member on this site back when he was leading the league in 4th Q scoring last year... I think he and Nene or either one of them by themselves could really bring something that the rockets have been missing for awhile...

    I was gonna write something about Landry but I changed my mind. No point beating a inconsistent player.

    say no more. I can already tell where this thread is going- you will defend your reasons for why you wanted to start this thread, you will get a bit agitated when others call you out, you will admit you are a rookie but will continue to tell use your very important reasons for creating a brand new thread on a very old topic.

    and this thread will eventually be rated 1 Star and possibly moved/locked.

    all from that one sentence.

    I just think he would help man... i will never understand how people on here try to convince themselves that jordan hill is going to be a better basketball player, he is GARBAGE and he will never be anything more than 10-11 ppg and 7-8 rbpg if that. so with that being said, i would love to have landry back, like u said, he doesn't even start with the kings so it prolly wouldnt even take to much to get him. plus it wasn't a fluke that he played well every season that he was here, if nothing else, we solve the jordan hill problem by bringing him back...

    No, Hill is not that now. Hill will prolly never be that. Im not trying to say we should make a hard push for landry, im just saying i wouldn't mind having him back. Like i was sayin before i think the biggest issue is having scola and martin on the court at the same time, just terrible defense.
