    He's gonna be a free agent. You know how people would love to have Steph Curry playing next to Harden?

    Well, Ovinton Mayo in that mold. Not as good a shooter but he can create better. I was impressed with his playmaking abilities. He's not gonna wow you but he will be able to make some passes.

    Also, he has a mini-beard going on which would fit perfectly next to Harden's beard. He would literally be the best fit we could get right now.

    He is a SG, but I would love him on this team.

    He'll get benched in the 4th in favor of the backup also.

    he is a combo guard and with Harden handling the ball we don't need a true PG

    I am on board, but what happens if Harden is hurt. Still need a good PG.

    Im not really concerned about making an upgrade at the PG position(unless CP3 decides to leave 30 mil on the table, and sign with Houston), Im concerned about upgrading the defense.

    My 16y/o brother has excellent handles and has been dominating his hs jv team. I totally see him being our starter in 2018.

    We need to upgrade our front court first.

    notorious antiliners suggesting another player starting. surprised.

    *though in another thread last week, I said mr. mayo would be awesome coming off the bench for instant offense, at the price dallas got him for.

    Agreed. Id like to see them add a "Chuck Hayes" type of front court player to come in off the bench and dominate defensively. It can be a Mutumbo type too... dont want to get flamed by the folks on here that hate any player under 6'11", and think Hasaan Whiteside is the answer to all of the Rockets problems... I just want a veteran post defender to add to the rotation if they are out there.... oh and another superstar too.

    This guy can create better than Curry? LMAO. You should check out how many unassisted 3s Curry create for himself. Oh, and Curry is a better passer than O.J. Mayo

    Agree on the post defender at the 4. That is the best type of player to partner up with Asik on D. Would make our D much better.
