Source: If Twin Towers don't work, Rockets may look at LaMarcus Aldridge

Thanks for the info

 

Ohhh SNAP! He would be a perfect fit I think. Can you imagine high screens with him and Harden?! Dwight cutting off ball as his man switches... alley oops constantly.

 

They should be looking to acquire LMA regardless, if he's available. I can't see Portland trading him away.

 

That would be amazing. Obviously something is not working with that lineup. Could be why they have been getting off to a rough start every game so far. Thanks for the info!

 

Thanks for the info. It will take a 3rd team, and I don't see how it happens without Parsons and/or Beverley.

 

Just doesn't seem like a Morey guy. Relies heavily on the mid range jumper to be effective.

 

double post. Thanks for the info Cyber.

 

About time. Let's make it happen.

 

At first I was go to say "No ****, Sherlock", then I saw who the poster was. Thanks CyberX.

 

The ball isn't in the Rockets court on this since they don't want Asik.

 

would it be a straight up trade for Asik for Aldridge? That doesn't seem fair.

 

Portland needs to do it. They're wasting their time with LMA at this point. They need to focus on Batum and Lillard and sign a young star in the next year or two.

 

Well, duh.

Fun stat though: LMA leads the league with 49 attempted mid-range jumpers in three games. The Rockets as a team have attempted 29 mid-ranger jumpers in four games, which is by far the least.

 

Good to hear from CyberX again.

Thanks

 

Interesting.

 

who do we give up howard and still have 8mill to spend ? OR

lin + asik + parsons.... they have good players at all three of those spots

 

Three teams trade? Because I can't see what the Rockets have that Portland would want in exchange for LMA.

 

I imagine he was always and always will be on our radar.

But we have to try the twin towers idea, aka offering respect to Asik and Hakeem & Sampson. And if it doesn't work, it's going to be a long and somewhat uncomfortable wait for the trade deadline.
