    I would be singing 6 man all the if he were a Rocket. He'd fit nicely off the bench.

    Wishful thinking... But it's doable.

    Jamal Murray is their future PG.

    There's a bidding war for Lou Williams right now. Not surprised since the dude is playing out of his mind this season. Reports state they already have a team that's willing to give a unprotected first rounder.

    I don't understand how Lou Williams fits unless we are shipping Gordon out.

    You know those frequent stretches where Harden's sitting out and Gordon's shot isn't falling --> insert Lou Will.

    Gordon and Harden aren't the types that you bench just because their shots aren't currently falling.

    My point is we don't have significant guard minutes to offer....10 at most, unless you want to ask Harden or Gordonto play minutes at SF.

    What we need is a versatile wing.

    I mean he could go to San Antonio. It's closer to Austin.

    That sounds nice and all, but when we have to play 3 guard lineups and Lou switches onto KD, it's going to get ugly.

    Is it scarier than needing Brewer to score against the Warriors?

    Yeah, you make good points. However, even if it's not Lou I would appreciate having a similar spark plug type guard to fill in those 10 mins. Ennis and Brown do nothing for us. Honestly would've preferred Terry over those two.

    We both agree that Brewer needs to be pushed out of the rotation, but Lou isn't the right fit.

    Harden can play SF.

    Bev and Lou can split the minutes at PG

    Gordon plays all his minutes at SG, Harden splits his minutes between SG and SF. Basically a 3 man rotation at the SG/SF of Harden/Gordon/Ariza.

    Only person who gets cut out of the rotation is Brewer. Lou takes Brewers minutes while reducing Beverley, Harden, Ariza and Gordon's minutes (which is needed). You might think it cuts Dekker out of the rotation but Dekker actually plays 75% of his minutes at PF so not really.
