I think you are on right track. But instead of Lin, trade TJones, Kpap, Dorsey and maybe future first to Celtics for Terry Rozier, RJ Hunter and 2nd. Re-sign Smoove, JET and Brew (or KJ). PG: Llull, Rozier, Nick SG: Harden, Brew/KJ, Hunter SF: Ariza, Dekker, Brew/KJ PF: Smoove, D-Mo, Dekker/Harrell C: Dwight, Capela, D-Mo/Harrell Rockets are still a deep team with a high energy bench (except much much younger). Plus still room on the team to pick up a bargain FA or UDFA who may surprise (e.g. Black).
Hey Morey, who is first FA your planning on visiting? What high tech gadget will you entice them with ?
Do you watch basketball or did you just see a player who's name your familiar with has become available? Please explain how Derozan remotely fits with this team.

Yes, Tobias Harris, Rodney Stuckey, and Cory Joseph seem like the more underrated players out there that could possibly be had for reasonable contracts. Not sure how Harris would fit but he has a good improving player that can play the 3 or 4 effectively. Stuckey or Joseph would help our playmaking and shot creation but I can see someone like the Mavs giving them desperate dollars. Mike Dunleavy could be a sneaky good pickup if we think he is a better option over Dekker assuming Brewer is gone. Still a good 3 point shooter and ball handler. There are some good options at Morey's disposal depending on if we have to trade any players to create room or if we hang tight and just use MLE to strengthen the team. If we can somehow pry LMA, would probably need to trade either Ariza or DMO while getting a back a starting caliber PG or rotation player in one of the trades. It should be an interesting offseason but Morey has proven you never know which way he is headed until free agency kicks off tonight at 11 PM. I expect some under the radar guys to be linked to the Rockets similar to how they had Ariza on speed dial once the Parsons situation spiraled out of control. Rockets have contingency/crisis plans all laid out to cover every scenario. In Marley I trust!
So you want to tear down a team just went to the western final and replace it with 5 rookies and 3 guys in their second year in the league whose barely played last season? sounds like a great plan.

Jesus Christ that's a crap ton of money. We and my wife just found out we're having a boy, he's going to every basketball camp known to man LoL...If Bev gets Parsoned and I have a feeling he will, Morey should trade for Bledsoe Im still not convinced by Llull.
