    Solve the Rockets problems? No. Would it make things a LOT better? Yes.

    Not really sure if you're being serious about this question, but YES of course Bev and Dmo would help us out. If nothing else they are pushing two bench players deeper down the bench. They are both proven NBA players that have contributed to a playoff run.

    If It would limit brewers minutes, then yes it would help. Solve our problems of weak D and turnovers? Probably not.

    Of course, but even then we need to wait for them to round into form.

    Beverley brings great three point shooting, intensity to the back court and his defense (which, while not what it was, is still good).

    Dmo brings his fantastic passing and reasonable stretch capabilities, solid low post scoring and defense.

    We immediately become an improved shooting, passing and defensive team once they get into peak shape. They also push Nene back to reasonable minutes, and Ennis will also see less time.

    A team of Capela, Dmo, KJ, Harden (we need the scoring) and Beverley seems pretty decent defensively, no? Ariza can replace KJ in that line up as well.

    IF curry, Durant, griffin, Leonard, Lebron, and Dwight get injured we win a ring with the addition of bev and dmo

    Beverly might help with the defense. I say might because we don't know what condition his knees are and how well he would be recovered from his injuries.

    DMo, He has things that can help.

    But until we have a coach capable and willing to put in a different team defensive concept, the team won't improve that much more. It will still improve as the team gets used to what we have now, and how to play together.

    Pat Beverly taking minutes from ennis obviously helps. Dmo getting minutes from Ryan on off nights, letting Ariza stay at the three more to keep brewer on the bench would be huge.

    Would they limit Nene and Tyler Ennis minutes?

    They would make us a LOT better defensively.

    DMo is the best positional defender out of all of our bigs, and is quick on his feet.

    Bev is the best defender at PG.

    So, yeah, they would upgrade us, would it make a massive difference....??????

    Maybe....but right now they are our only hope.

    If you watched our bigs none of them can score in the paint. That is something Dmo can do. I think the biggest issue right now is a defensive big who can rebound and lockdown the paint. That is why I keep saying Tyson Chandler. Even at 34 Tyson is still the best defensive rebounder in the NBA and can still be a solid interior rim protector. Plus he can play off Harden with the pick and roll.

    More DMo + More Bev means less Sewer and Less Tyler Anus = Rockets get much better just by default
