DRAFT KneeJerK Thread: 2012 Rockets Versus 2013 Rockets

Right now, they were better last year - let's see what happens once Morey sorts out the overstocked forwards issue.

Break down all the extra pieces into players we can use, and I'm very optimistic about us going forward. However, if we can't land a high upside or proven player than can contribute for the next 3-5 years I will be very disappointed with out off-season.

 

If you add D-mo to our team plus our rookies? I say our team will be more talented than last year. I think we beat last years team. I am assuming what Morey will do with the resigns or replacements. I think this years team will be much better when its all said and done.

 

Better. Season starts in four months too.

 

Maybe it is a perfect time to rebuild. I do not think we can make the playoffs with this roster if we are not going to make a big move, we have to wait to see since it is too early right now.

 

Aren't we still like a crapload under the cap? We are going to sign Camby and another big man.

Maybe we can move Lowry and Scola to Charlotte for future first rounders. I think Scola still has a lot of tread left on his tires, but it would be best to move on in case one of those tires has a 30 million dollar blow out. Martin on the other hand.....I have no clue if there is even a market for him.

 

Right now we have no centers, three PFs (Scola, Patterson, DMo), and three SF/PFs (Royce White, T. Jones, M. Morris)

SF: Parsons (its my belief one of the SF/PFs will become a successful SF..my money's on White)
SG: K.Mart/Lamb
PG: Lowry

RFAs: Dragic, Lee

Despite our problems with the PF/C position right now, I don't think that's the biggest issue. The biggest issue is what to do with PG and SG. We're in a very unfavorable situation where the disgruntled players are still in a contract but the content upcoming players can walk right now. Can Morey somehow trade away K.Mart/Lowry and re-sign Dragic/Lee?

Basically, our team is extremely screwed up and there's zero identity right now with this many players and potential trades/signings thats yet to happen.

 

I don't really see this an issue. Lowry was a borderline all-star and tearing it up before the infection, and K-Mart is still one of the better offensive 2's in the league.

It wasn't until McHale arrived that they started to act up, so I don't think their attitude dropped their value much, it's just a matter of getting the most out of them. If we don't get Dwight, I would try to get either Noah, Asik or even take a chance on Kanter. Utah/Chicago need guards in a bad way.

Anyway on topic, the the starting lineup is still solid, so it's a matter of who do you want coming off your bench...

Bud/Dally(let's be honest, he didn't show up half the time)

or

D-Mo/Lamb/White/Jones

I'll take the rooks.

 

im officially excited for this coming season, I dont mind watching young talent develop...i hope thats what happens....or that we land a big name.
