    1) Scola/Landry or brooks
    2) Our expiring contracts

    What can we get realistically next year...

    Also, will Artest fit this team, or a pure shooter like Miller Miler will help this team more and open things for Tmac and YOA..


    Lets discuss

    Artest would definitely help more than miller.

    We need pure shooters. Look at how Wally Szcierbiak is lighting it up in the playoffs with Lebron constantly drawing double, triple- teams.

    TMAC is not going anywhere. Morey has pretty much said this in recent weeks. I would be open to trading Battier for more offense

    I concur.

    I wonder if he could hold it together mentally on this team, being 3rd fiddle though.

    We just need health

    A swing man that can shoot (Mickael Pietrus maybe)

    And a back up center.

    No way we trade McGrady. We just need a guy or two who can penetrate and finish, and hit the open jumper. Frankly, I dont want Artest, I just dunno how he would fit into the team with Tmac and Yao. Miller is the one I want.

    NO ONE.

    We dont need any major pieces on this team. It is balanced as it is.

    All we need is someone to fill in for deke if he retires as a back up to Yao and we need a back up pg who shoots well for 12-15 mins a game.

    NOTHING MAJOR.

    You need a backup shooting guard for Mcgrady and Battier. In fact, I would trade battier at this point for a scoring SF/SG

    Mike Miller is exactly what I think we need...

    ...maybe Bobby Jackson (expiring), Luther Head, & a 1st (or 2nd) round pick.

    You think that would work?

    The roster that is pretty much locked for next season is as follows

    pg: Alston/Francis
    sg: tmac
    sf:
    pf: scola/ landry
    c: yao ming

    The rest of the guys might be traded

    Artest is no good if he is injured like Rafer, Battier, Yao and McGrady. It would be better to fire the Rocket's medical staff and find free agent doctors. :mad:

    It's too early for this kind of thread. It almost disgusts me. Take the night off from it. THe Rockets lost. We're all bummed out. Give it a rest.

    :)

    Battier like someone previously stated in this thread, is a liability on the offensive end.

    Just bring in Artest and game is over. This guy's shoulders are so huge, he'd knock all those white guys in the Jazz down without even trying. Seriously, he's what we need if he can keep his mouth shut.

    Head can go play in Europe. seriously, I just cant stand Head's blowing layup and missing 3s..He's suppose to be one of the top three point shooters in NBA, and look at his shooting %.
    Or if any team wants him, sign and trade..
