Thought this would be fun... With all the movement and speculation this off-season, let's have a CF Contest to see who can most accurately predict the Rockets starting lineup on opening day! And for kicks, feel free to also post the starting 5 you would LIKE to see. I'll go first: Prediction: 1. Jeremy Lin 2. Jeremy Lamb 3. Parsons 4. PPat 5. Asik Preference: 1. Jeremy Lin 2. Jeremy Lamb 3. Royce White 4. Josh Smith 5. Dwight Howard
I'm not very good at this sort of thing, but here is mine: PG: Lin SG: Courtney Lee SF: Parsons PF: Scola C: Patrick Patterson
Prediction: 1. Jeremy Lin 2. Martin 3. Parsons 4. Scola 5. Asik Preference: 1. Chris Paul 2. Kobe Bryant 3. LeBron James 4. Blake Griffin 5. Dwight Howard
Have a hard time seeing the Knicks letting go of Lin. Gotta bring back the cash cow. Plus, it's NYC. Lin probably wants to go back anyway.
You may wanna revise... I think you're gonna be just as good at this as any of us, since there is so much in the air right now... My bet is no one will Get it right bc there will still be more moves coming up! You may wanna revise yours since news broke recently that we rescinded our offer to Courtney Lee. We probably knew we couldn't pay the salary he would command and enough teams want him. I'm ok with it bc he hasn't shown star potential yet, so he's expendable IMO.
Pg: Lin / Lowry Sg: Martin Sf: parsons Pf: Monte C: asik Bench Pg: white Sg: lamb Sf: jones Pf: Patterson C: camby
I've seen the Lee news, but I don't rule out the Rockets signing Lee as a free agent. No one knows him better than the Rockets, and the Rockets seem to be high on Lee. It's just that they're even higher on Asik. In some of the reports about this rescinding, it was mentioned that the reason Lee's offer was rescinded was not because we expect him to be overpaid, but because we need to not have his offer on the table in order to sign Asik.
1. Lowry- Can't find a suitable replacement for him, him and McHale put aside differences 2. Martin- Martin rebounds after a dissapointing 2012 campaign and returns to his 23+ numbers 3. Parsons- Parsons continues to be defensive specialist and expands his offensive game slightly 4. Patterson- Patterson has a breakthrough season coming off of surgery, averaging 14 points and 8 rebounds a game. 5. Howard- The Rockets finally land a star. Gave up future draft picks, Lamb, Jones, and Scola.
Thanks for that info! I did not know that. However, I really can't see how we can afford him. From what I've heard, many other teams are high on him and DM needs to make a splash and to me, it seems like the writing is on the wall for Lee.
8 in 1O years? I musta missed a couple of years when the economy was string and my business was flourishing (got busy)... You should see more posts coming as long as Obama is in office I read it a lot though
