    With the signing/extension of CP3, it is clear that we are in win now mode and have a 3-4 year window to win championships.

    Who is the best fit (regardless of what we have to give up or take in, salaries) from these candidates whom are rumored to be Rockets targets and assuming starters are:

    PG - Paul
    SG - Harden
    SF - ???
    PF - Anthony or Tucker
    C - Capela

    To me, it's obviously Otto Porter, and he's the only unrealistic option

    This is so stupid.

    Ya'll are crazy to think Melo wont be starting at the 3 and Tucker wont be starting at the 4.

    Tucker came off the bench all-year and we won 65 games. I think MDA would like to keep that way and limit Tuckers' minutes.

    This is stupid.

    Yes, Ryan Anderson began the season starting & PJ Tucker came off the bench. Initially PJ Tucker struggled getting acclimated to the system. He finally figured it out though. Ryan went down with an injury, PJ got the nod and he meshed so well with the starting squad compared to the bench unit he stayed.

    That isn't changing this season. He will be the PF opening night. He compliments the starters too well. Paul and Harden both love playing with him, and so with him starting they both get the chance.

    Him & Capela will begin the game with the expectation to set the defensive tone, thats what MDA wants.
