If we could get JJ Redick we could roll with some ridiculous units. Harden/ Redick/ Delfino/ Parsons/ Patterson That small-ball line-up could run a two man pick and pop, pick and roll, high-screen action and whenever the defense collapses it would rain threes.
I like Redick a lot. Here would be an awesome small ball run and gun starting lineup. Lin, harden, Redick, Royce White, and Asik. White, if he pans out, is one of the best passing college forwards I've seen. Chandler would be great coming off the bench with our bigger lineup since he excels at spot up threes but is limited on defense and finishing at the rim.
J.J is the exact same type of player I used to be in highschool when I was playing for my schools team on varsity years ago. I wonder if my 3 point made/attempt record is still there. Man, highschool was fun. I also followed him throughout his Duke years, and I started watching college ball because of him. It'd be awesome if we could somehow get J.J on the Rockets. I really think he'd fit in perfectly. Mr. D
Redick is $6M expiring for this season and then unrestricted free agent in this summer that any team can steal away, eligible for a max starting around $13.5M per year in his next contract this summer. I think Carlos Delfino is $3M this year, and $3M team option for next year.
I'd take him if the opportunity is there. He's steadily improved over the years, and is a freaking 3-pt weapon. Since McHale's so in love with small-ball, and JJ's automatic from the FT line, we could trot this out: Douglas, JJ, Har, Par, and... Moti! Make it rain, bebe!
i know. im just saying rockets don't need another 3 pnter when we've already got too many of them. Even though Parsons is SF, he can shoot, even dribble and facilitate.
I actually rather have Mike Dunleavy and move Parson PF. This is bigger, better rebounding and defensive 3pt shooting lineup. Dunleavy making 3.5 mil this year and Defino can retain for 3 mil vs Reddick 6 mil salary. Harden, Defino, Dunleavy, Parson and Asik or Smith.
For the Right price, J.J. Redick would be a good fit. But I think it may take quite a few million dollars. Because team fall in love with 3 point shooters that can play an all around game. Rockets aren't in a necessity to get J.J. Redick. As of now it seems we have Delfino with a team option for next year at 3 million dollars. If y'all want 3 point shots, Delfino takes 6.2 per game, and takes 3 shots inside the arch. FYI, Delfino is thriving in this offense. For the season he is averaging career highs for 2 pts and 3pts. shooting percentage. I'd venture to say, he is having himself a stellar year - he is playing in the system tailor made for his style of play. In Summary, J.J. Redick would be a good fit. But, he is redundant on this team. Who sits down for him? Parson, Delfino, and Harden, all play his position quite well for the Rockets. The Rockets need improved play from the Power Forward position.
The idea would be to play him instead of Lin and utilize Harden as the primary ball handler and facilitator. None of the players you mentioned would be at risk of losing minutes to Reddick.
