    Yea...while I am sick of this decision as our owner has lost his mind...

    The Rockets really need to put the right piece around James Harden or watch him leave. Which players would make this system work?

    Morey has a lot of options this summer. One person I really hope the Rockets can poach is Evan Fournier. I really think he would really work well in DAntoni's offense. I also see Donatas thriving in this offense as well. The Rockets really need to pair Harden with guys with emotion...I would love for the Rockets to consider Noah for a short stint.

    I can see Beverley, Dwight, and Ariza not work well.

    Harden, Donatas, Mike Beasley, Corey Brewer (shocking I know),Capela and Maybe Ariza are the only current Rockets players that fit D'Antonio's system.

    Free Agents to be that fit: Evan Fournier, Ryan Anderson, Nic Batum and Conley.

    Once we strike out in FA, Harden will leave and we will have no assets, no big names, and slowly fall into the lottery

    Let's be honest. LE$ got his big name coach splash and next he wants his China $$ back. Does anyone honestly believe Jeremy Lin will not be our starting pg next year? Jared Dudley is another obvious signing. Marvin Williams another. That's pretty much it. No one will want to come out side of those type of names.

    A PnR big man is what we need.

    3 point shooters or players that can execute a PnR.

    About everybody fits that system except KJ and Brewer

    Batum, Fournier, Noah, Marvin Williams is my wish list. Horford will be ok, but not sure about investing such a large amount of salary on a meh player.

    I really can see the Rockets trading Ariza and Beverley.

    They also really need to hope that Harrell or Dekker pan out/ and DMo returns on a cheap contract.

    They'll ask him to be Lin's backup. He will decline.

    C: Capela
    PF: Harrell or trade for Faried
    SF:Dudley
    SG:Harden
    PG: Lin

    Should be a fun season and at least my expectations are #14 pick or 8th seed at best. Maybe it's best for a lot of clutchfans mental health after this miserable season. It might be fun seeing our young guys develop and throw down dunks while also rooting to get a lottery pick or for it to be traded for PJ Tucker.

    Les will overpay Harrison Barnes

    I think Amar'e Stoudemire is a free agent too.

    Maybe Ryan Anderson to play the role of Channing Frye.

    or just Channing Frye to play the role of Channing Frye. Why not go and get Joe Johnson to be the SF to be the Joe Johnson. Dudley can be QRich. Of course we have to sign Barbosa to be the Barbosa behind Lins Nash.

    Because Channing Frye is under contract with the Cleveland Cavaliers. :)

    But yeah, I think the rest are free agents.
