Dwight took Hedo Turkoglu, Rafaer Alston, Courtney Lee and Rashard Lewis to the NBA finals. Let's give him some credit?
Id Daryl does anything i will be absolutely thrilled. I might even get naked and run around the neighborhood. I probably dont have to worry about that though.
Dwight and a top point guard will go to the Finals several times. You put pieces around Dwight and DWill or Dwight and Dragic and you got something special. Get another long athletic big that can block shots and hit the 3 and finish in the paint and you got the anti-Miami team. You can force them to have to beat you from the perimeter, which won't happen.
Keep the pick, knowing he will be locked into a rookie deal and then a restricted free agent, effectively locking him up as a Rocket for the first ~7 years of his career.
this would be the only realistic scenario and the only one I'd entertain pick+scola, for cousins their #1 this year and a future #1 why scola? love the guy but with patterson and d-mo coming over need some room at the pf spot and it would save the rockets a decent amount of change. dont know if sacramento would do that though - maybe they would
It is simply a player losing the touch. The coach can bench him unless he is so indispensable. Then treat him like one. Help him make the play. All the players had played well before and won lots of games. Now suddenly all the players are losing the touch. Not a single one, even James Harden is as good as before. What does it tell you? The coaches fantasize some game plans that simply don't work. It is a joke to ask all the players outrun other teams on the road. The fact is the game plan is a loser. The coaches are losers but not the players. The players have proved they can win lots of games but not the coaches.
If we get the 1st pick only way i would trade it is if we r getting Howard and Smith. (but both of them are going to be FA's) then y not do a sign n trade. Howard to Rockets Smith to Rockets Blake to Rockets Lakers or Atl pick to Rockets (1st Round) Lakers get Rockets first pick + Morris + Lin Atl gets Asik + 2Pat + Delfino + Douglas I think LaL does this trade bc they get to go young and getting 2 young players. Atl does this so they can move Horford to his original position PF and have bench players also. Beverley / Blake Harden / Anderson Parson / White Smith / TJ / Donuts Howard / Aldrich LaL: Nash / Lin Kobe Meta Morris Rookie or FA Atl Teague / harris William Delfino Horford Asik
