Man I have wanted Dudley on this team for the few seasons he's the perfect player for us. He wants to play here, he likes the team and he loves Harden. Please sign him Morey
I think it's possible that we use KJ/Dekker to dump brewer. That being said, they would be there for depth in case of injuries, blow outs, and for spot up minutes here and there. KJ could also play backup SG too though. The only player that CAN'T be a bench warmer is Brewer, he would have to go. There's nothing wrong with KJ/Dekker/Harrell being at the end of our bench, every team needs depth.
If the Rockets dropped Brewer for nothing and Dwight ops out, will they have enough cap space to bring in Horford, Gasol, Deng, Lin and Dudley? Bev/Lin/Goudelock Harden/KJ Deng/Ariza/Dudley Gasol/DMO/Beasley/Harrell Horford/Capela I think that would be a pretty solid team, but is there enough money?
I forgot about Dekker... Bev/Lin/Goudelock Harden/Dudley/KJ Deng/Ariza/Dekker Gasol/Beasley/Harrell Horford/DMO/Capela
Vivi Call me sensitive if you like but I just consider it respectful to not use words like "wack" to characterise a person's statement that you don't know. Just saying there are better ways and words to use that my won't be considered inflammatory. That said the last part of my post indicated that Horford and Gordon were from different positions. Where you and I are disagreeing is the need for a 4 That will cost the Rockets a lot of money but in all likelihood not provide big time money from one position. I Would love Horford don't misunderstand. I just would rather have a couple of players who could play multiple positions give me similar production for the same or lessor price. Not discounting Horford but I do think you are a bit off on Gordon overall as it related to who he could be in this offense. I have absolutely no problem with him off the bench. In fact that would be great.
Just like Dudley DJ is another guy I have wanted for a few seasons now. He is the perfect PG to run the 2nd unit. He will be what we wanted Ty to be.
Alessandro Gentile had 23 pts (24m) in the Italian League Finals today. Stein said back in October Rockets wanted to bring him over this year Dont know if still true
Am I stupid in the fact that I think I'd prefer Biyombo over Horford? Biyombo is younger, cheaper, and would mesh well next to Capela AND Dmo, IMO. Give me Batum, Conley, and Biyombo, and I would be in heaven.
Sorry if it's offensive, english is not my first language, i guarantee you i didn't say it that way, that's why i also add "kinda". Anyway, i can agree with what you say here overall, i think it's fair to prefer more players than one who is not a superstar, but i mean, we desperately need a front court player since Dwight is gone, Capela is still a project and D.Mo may not be here next season (and even if he's staying, we can't bet hard on him due to his back), that's why we should go after a 4/5 first and foremost...it seems we can also agree on having Gordon coming off the bench, just wouldn't this contract (40x4) be too much for a bench player? (with that injury past)
Gentile is good, but people here (in Europe) are divided about him going in the nba, some think he can play here, some think he cannot cause he's too slow to play the 2, not strong enough to play the 3, his shot's not quick enough...personally i think he can play in the nba, he may need time to adapt though, and maybe not a little...he's also a bit cocky and impulsive which may lead him to think that he deserves some kind of rotation spot to make the jump...but i think in the end he'll come, he's going to follow Bargnani, Belinelli and Gallinari.
Dudley is a PF/SF because he doesnt have the footspeed to play good defense. Horford is MAX money this off season and Lin isnt coming here We have to be the most delusional NBA form on the internet lol . There are better teams with cap ready to get Horford , Gasol and Deng.
Thanks for the honesty Vivi. No offense taken. I agree with you totally about the need for another Big with Dwight being gone. I guess I'm somewhat resigned to the fact that the Rockets may have to outscore teams and employ long perimeter players who can defend. I'd love Horford at 4/75 or even 4/80. At least then the Rockets could jettison Beg Arias and Brewer opening up an additional 20mil or so and then full in the gaps with some of the players I've mentioned. (Gordon doesn't have to be one of them)
The Dallas media seems to think that Parsons might leave or the Mavs might not want to pay him for the long term (injuries risk, probably): http://sportsday.dallasnews.com/dal...ards-mavericks-target-chandler-parsons-leaves Can we get him back? Do we want him back?
I feel that KJ can be something under MDA. I have high hopes for him and I feel that once he's given direction and purpose out on the floor he can really be a solid contributor and given his natural defensive abilities, I think (I hope) he'll be a favourite of both MDA and Bez.
