    IF we get Dwight Howard, our possibilities of who we can get would obviously be limited. I'm not one of the advocates of a "Big 3". I'd rather have 2 superstars (Howard,Harden) and then fill with really great role players.

    Who would be one of those players you guys would want to obtain (A player who on any night could have a 20 point game). I know one I'd like to have with Howard, is David West. What do ya'll think?

    I'd go for the 3rd star.
    Bosh. Morey loved him.

    There has been a lot of talk about trading Bosh for someone bigger and more physical if the Heat lose.

    I wouldn't want to see it, but i could see us including Asik in a trade to get Bosh. This would provide a stretch 4 next to Dwight.

    I'd want a defensive wing stopper. I think offense wouldn't be a problem with the backcourt and the PnR potential with D12 in the paint. I'm inclined to go with Josh Smith now if he can focus his efforts on defensive and be like the 5th offensive option on the court. There might be better options out there for a defensive minded player, but none I can think of that's obtainable through FA.

    I just feel like Bosh is too soft for this team. I wanted west because he's more of that "enforcer" type guy. Also he has a sweet mid range jumper to go along with his post skills

    Or we could take a fly on Iggy since he is rumored to wanting to opt out of Denver.

    I dont think Portland will let LMA go, and i think Love would be great, but he is too injury prone. Bosh is weak too, he's as soft as they come.

    I love Asik as a Backup to Howard depth at the 5. Trade Lin add better role players with that 8 M

    If the Rockets have Harden and Howard (healthy) i think a few great players we could add would be Spanoulis, Bob Sura, and Stromile Swift.

    Also don't think we'd be able or willing to move enough to take back Bosh's $19M+ contract next season. At least LMA and Love are only around $13M. I just don't see LMA being moved by POR at all (much less just for a package centered around Asik), and Love's health worries me...TWolves will want a lot for him as well now. Kahn is gone after all...

    No way NOP moves him though, at least for anything we'd be offering.
