Its officially the off-season. What are we going to do now? My take: Sign Josh Smith for 10 million a year Trade Omer Asik + young talent/picks to LA in Sign and Trade for Dwight Howard Retain the bargain contracts. Nows your turn.
Like to see the following: Develop the PF's or get rid of them Run some plays that aren't ISO's or pick and rolls Asik - better hands and post moves Lin - more movement on the offensive end Lin and Harden - cut out the TO's Parsons - left hand and a go to move Get some picks for the draft. Get a second star [Tier 1 star not Josh Smith, etc.] Resign role players for the right price. I am expecting the Rockets to break the 50 win barrier next season. Pretty reasonable goal IMO.
Josh Smith is looking for the max, and will most likely, get it or real close to it from a desperate team looking for "star" power. 10 million a year is wishful thinking. Try again.
S&T is not possible for LA. I want to bring in Kevin Garnett for his swan song. If Howard can't be had, wait it out for Aldridge or Kevin Love. Don't panic and blow your load on Josh Smith.
I really want Chris Paul way more than I'd want Dwight or Josh Smith. I wish we could find a way to sign him. I think we would be a contender with Paul, Harden, Parsons and Asik.
Josh smith is already making more than 10mil and is looking for alot more than 10 and he'll most likely get it.
NO Josh Smith. Our two "max" guys would be Harden and Smith. NOT going to he enough. Don't blow our wad on him.
