Rubio's inability to shoot renders him useless in our current system. We need a new coaching staff before we test out players like Rubio. They've failed Lawson terribly most of it is Lawson's fault but a lot of it is on the coaching staff.
All O won't work against GSW, SAS, and CLE. Lawson does not shoot significantly better. He isn't a spot-up shooter and if you get him outside of the lane with just token pressure he can't hit. Lawson is an in-the-paint/FT line shooter. That's it. And Rubio is the far superior defender and disher. Guys Lawson is done here. He's as good as gone. He's never going to work out here. It's over. Just a matter of when.
It's funny that you say he's a in the paint shooter yet his whole time here he's beens scared to shoot anytime he gets in the paint. No floaters no layups no attacking trying to draw contact. He's been boo boo mgoo this whole season. I agree it's time to cut bait he's a fat negative every time he sees the court. I mean the rockets are 7-0 without him I think that says a lot about him as a person and a player.
Thought I heard Gasol was likely opting out. People seem to think he is going to go finish his career back in Memphis with his brother.
Kevin Love would be great. Far more compatible with Harden than Dwight. Don't see CLE trading him unless they lose more before the deadline
Trade Dwight? We have a guy that is capable keeping up with the best of them at Center and you want to trade the guy? I'd rather start looking to trade Harden. Dwight can play both ends of the floor. He may not be as polished as Yao or Hakeem on the offensive end but he can still be a dominant force as we have seen against the Clippers. What we need are players that are young and extremely mature or just flat out mature enough to play both ends of the floor and some team ball. We need players that can be effective without the ball. We need to show the big man some love and let him know this is His Team.
