Hate? because I don't think he's the right guy?(unless he starts shooting three's) Maybe you should stop HATING on the guys we have Or how about you stop HATING on other peoples opinions.
It seems most people here only seen Aldridge play against the Rockets. The guy is vastly overrated here.
Also, while he'd be a good fit, I think Chris Bosh and Kevin Love would be better fits. Wouldn't consider him ideal.
You made it sound like LMA's D is DMo bad or Harden bad. He is not! He's not a rim protector by any means. But we have Asik for that role. Like Bosh, LMA is highly underrated at man to man and PNR D and would fit perfectly our D as well O at the PF position no doubt. But we have little chance of getting him.
Why does LMA or any PFs for that matter need to shoot 3s to be considered a good fit? He has a mid range jumper to provide enough good spacing.
the rocket's philosophy involves 3-point shooting PFs. that's why they are telling D-Mo to shoot 3's and wanted scola to as well before they ditched him
I don't buy it. Big men shooting 3s is more of a bonus than a necessity. I would think McHale would much prefer a PF with post moves than shooting 3s.
He would be a good fit and a vast upgrade. Love or Bosh would be better, though. Like it or not, this is not a team built for mid range shooting. Morey believes in points at the rim or points behind the line, because stats say they're the most efficient. A three point shooting forward is preferable to a mid-range one, in his mind (and mine.)
