    How about:

    Dwight Howard- C
    Jared Jefferies- PF
    Chandler Parsons- SF
    Lin- PG
    Harden- SG

    Novak- SF
    Greg Smith- C
    Delfino
    Douglas
    Marquis Morris


    I think Jefferies and Novak and rotting away and both having down years. Jefferies brings alot of energy and defence, and Novak can drain 3s like no other. W/ Howard, we will have a legitimate post threat for half court game

    thoughts?

    I like the Jeffries pick up but not as a starter. If Howard is on the team, Rockets would probably have a stretch 4 so it allows Howard to stay around the basket or cheese the PNR with Harden/Lin. If the Rockets can still use a Mini-MLE or MLE exception with the addition of Howard, then I think that spot still gets filled with another player or they start Morris.

    But in your hypothetical lineup, does that mean Asik, Pat, TJones, and DMO get traded to the Lakers or Knicks?

    I'm hoping everyone grows mustaches, and we have black alt jerseys.

    No its not.

    Unfortunately Lin's 3pt shot is the worst thing in the universe.

    Correction, Royce White's overuse of the #Hashtag and constant vague tweets about #Transparency #MentalHealth #AnxietyTroopers #BeWell rank higher on the 'WORST THINGS IN THE UNIVERSE' scale than Lin's 3 pt shot.

    Marcus Morris is really good, and I think he's should be the starting PF for the rest of the season and beyond

    Lin
    Harden
    Parsons
    Love or Smith
    Asik

    I think our four is the weakest (again). Nothing wrong with the rest of our positions, just give them time. Honestly would like to see Dmo and Tjones get some time.

    If Rox are going the Spurs route:

    Duncan is the center piece
    Tony Parker is a late first rounder
    Manu is a second rounder
    Danny Green is a second rounder
    Kawhi Leonard Mid first round

    Point is, you don't have to chase after every "super star". Focus on developing chemistry, scouting, and developing talent. Rockets don't need another star.

    Lin
    Harden
    Parsons
    Morris
    Smith


    No big pickups YET, but we trade shipoff Asik for a mid 1st rounder, then ship that out for a couple of 2nd rounders, which is where Morey uses his magic to get good roleplayers.

    Lin/Douglas/Beverley
    Harden/Delfino/Anderson
    Parsons/Jones/Draft pick (2/3 wing)
    Morris/Motiejunas/White (or Patterson)
    Asik/Smith/3rd string big body

    I don't really see much need to go out there and sign an expensive FA this offseason. Al Jefferson and Josh Smith are the best fits for the team, and I don't think they'd be good signings for the price. I'd rather let the young PFs develop for a year and then see we're at going into free agency next offseason.

    Rockets Roster in one Year:

    Starting lineup | Bench :
    PG: Jeremy Lin | Beverley, Machado
    SG: James Harden | James Anderson
    SF: Chandler Parsons | Chase Budinger*
    PF: DeMarcus Cousins* | Donatas Motiejunas
    C: Omer Asik | Greg Smith

    Moves:
    *(2013 Trade deadline or 2013 NBA Draft Day Deal) Rockets trade Marcus Morris, Terrence Jones and 1st rd picks (attained from trades involving Patterson, Douglas and Delfino) for DeMarcus Cousins
    * Sign Chase Budinger in the 2013 off-season; sell him on being the marquee bench player, the primary sixth man off the bench.

    i hope we can keep most of the current roster and successfully land a max PF this offseason.

    and add a consulting coach, even part-time if possible?
