With Dwight Howard: PG Lin / Douglas SG Richardson / Lamb / Forbes SF Parsons / White / Turkoglu PF Motiejunas / Jones C Howard / Asik / Harrellson D League: Dragic, Johnson Without Dwight Howard: PG Lin / Douglas / Ish Smith SG Forbes / Lamb SF Parsons / White PF Motiejunas / Jones C Asik / Harrellson D League: Machado, Dragic, Johnson *In either scenario, I can see Rockets acquiring another guard or two - perhaps signing Gerald Green or trading for Alexey Shved. I would love to see Houston bring in Brasil's Marcelinho Huertas (PG).
Douglas is not a distributor but he is a good ball handler. He is more than capable of bringing the ball up the court. As long as he plays with facillitators like White or Parsons he should be okay. May get some time with Lin if McHale wants to go small. But I agree, Douglas is no PG. He is a combo guard at best.
Jeremy Lin Jason Richardson Chandler Parsons Glen Davis Dwight Howard Quote this post and rep me after the deal has been done. Thanks
Lin Richardson (Lamb traded) Turkoglu (Parsons and Royce traded) PatPat (Donatas and Terrence traded) Howard
assuming we don't trade for howard lin/macado martin/lamb parsons/jones donatas/patterson asik if we do trade for howard lin j-rich hedo donatas howard
Assuming we give up Parsons, Patterson, Martin, and draft picks in a 3 way trade Best case scenario: Bynum/Asik D-Mo/Jones White/Morris Lamb/Richardson Lin/Machado
This trade assumes we trade Dallas pick/Toronto pick/Martin/Parsons/Patterson/White to Orlando for Howard/J. Richardson/Turkoglu Asik/Motiejunas Howard/Jones Turkoglu/Morris Richardson/Lamb Lin/Douglas
Even if you don't start them both, they would get the most pt at the big positions based on contracts alone. Even with their ft shooting deficiencies, what you gain in defense, rebounding and blocks more then make up for it. The Bulls have consistently been a top defensive team with Asik ad Noah playing together and with Howard and Asik you have a potentially greater defensive combo.
If Howard/Bynum trades does not go through, is DM's plan to go with the roster as is or will he be taking on free agents (veterans) or initiate another trade to supplement the youngsters on the roster currently? With that said: Lin Martin Parsons Patterson Asik
To start the season: PG: Jeremy Lin -- Toney Douglas SG: Kevin Martin -- Jeremy Lamb SF: Chandler Parsons -- Royce White PF: Patrick Patterson -- Terrence Jones C: Omer Asik -- Donatas Motiejunas Toward's the end of the season: (Kevin Martin get's moved for another expiring and draft picks) PG: Jeremy Lin -- Toney Douglas SG: Jeremy Lamb -- Zoran Dragic SF: Chandler Parsons -- Royce White PF: Donatas Motiejunas -- Terrence Jones C: Omer Asik -- Patrick Patterson
