Can we free up enough cap to bring in a Max guy(Dwight) and Carl Landry?

You are suggesting dumping PPat's rookie contract for CLandy's "longer deal with more money (than $4 million per year)"...

I don't think there is a big enough jump in contribution to warrant that type of move. Plus, PPat spreads the floor far better than CLandry.

 

All three of those guys we would dump could end up better than Landry so I wouldn't do that even if I could IMO.

 

Somebody get a screen shot of all the NBA salary teams on hoops hype website.

 

You'll most likely need to involve one of the 3 bigger money contracts to get there.

 

Lol at Pattwat doing anything better than Landry.

 

Landry won't come back and although I loved what he did, he is far from the answer and probably would have to live up to crazy standards since we all remember the energy he brought and what he did when he was here. He can never live up to that, let the past be the past

 

Landry at this point of his career is a serviceable rotation player.

And the better introductory books are Freakonomics and basic statistics for dummies.

 

why do yall want Dwight so bad

 

would take PPatt all day

 

If we get Dwight, I can almost guarantee you we trade Asik and Lin for another close to max player (minimum Asik would be traded). And Asik's value will be HIGH. A trade like Asik + Lin for Rondo etc would be very doable. Would we have enough money for Landry I don't know but I do agree, Landry would be a good fit next to Howard.

 

Landry is much better than ppat.

 

Howard sucks bro!! He has no dribbling ability..Not a single offensive move that he can go to..The guy struggles in so many ways..and hes hurt. Why get Howard when Rockets can pick up 2 quality role players..Rockets are winning because of passing..Playing like a Euro team..No need for an overpaid single player..That is unless the guy is a total offensive threat..Howard is not

 

Landry isn't going to bring you much outside of scoring. He really isn't a starter, as the Kings found out.

Pats probably better as an off the ball guy in our starting lineup. Landry would be great off the bench as the go to scoring threat.

 

Howard is better than Asik and we are barely an 8th seed in the West, if their is a chance for us to get Dwight Morey will go after him

 

Assuming the salary cap does not go up, to sign Dwight at a max salary starting at $20.51 million, we will need to dump Patterson and Morris, and waive Delfino and Smith:

Plus we would get hit for the minimum salary apportionment of five empty roster spots, so we still wouldn't have enough room. So I don't see how we sign Dwight and still keep Asik. He will have to be moved before or as part of the Dwight signing.

 

Landry should only come off the bench. Doesn't people remember his many unfixable flaws like weak defense poor rebounder short arms etc.
