they have been making alot of moves this offseason. Tyreke Evans Jrue Holiday Eric Gordon ryan anderson Anthony davis Seems like they have good young core
Too many people who need the ball, only 1 ball. They have little to no D outside of Anthony Davis, and Davis will need to bulk up, or I think he'll get hurt playing center full time. I feel like Ego and Tyreke are both overpaid, but if they are able to share the ball and avoid injury they probably sneak into the playoffs within 2 years, but I doubt it's a championship core.
should have kept nerlens noel and tank for that extra young star. but now this team is going nowhere. oh well I suppose you need some David Kahns and Dell Demps' as opposed to Daryl Moreys and Sam Hinkies in this league.
Are they at least set to make noise in '14 Free Agency? Trading for Jrue, if so, might have been a good idea.
Davis was actually a poor defender this year. He had nice raw stats but he was flying around like a superman on every fake. But he should be very good on that end at some point. Holiday is good (defensively). Gordon can be above average when healthy. Tyreke has shown flashes of solid D at times. He can be a really good man defender but his rotations and help D is very bad -- which isn't entirely his fault, that whole Kings team didn't have defensive chemistry. I think they'll have a solid backcourt D. But their inside defense worries me. It's an interesting team to watch. I suspect they'll have a shot at playoffs as soon as this year if everything goes well. But they need a few more moves, especially depth at SF. They also need health. And they need effort and good attitude which is no guarantee with some of these guys. Just so many things that could go wrong. If everything went right, long term that's a very talented team.
Eric Gordon and Jrue Holiday are solid-excellent perimeter defenders, Davis is going to get better. With a healthy roster I can definitely see them in the mix for a playoff seed
They need a center, trade us Ryan anderson for Asik. i am not sure how the money lines up. I hear evans will be the 6th man off the bench. so they need to fill out the roster a bit more. 35 wins
Little moves only. If they get Tyreke and keep Gordon, they are spending 50 mil + on their 5 top guys.
That might be a great move for both teams (if the Rockets get Dwight). Their salary is basically identical.
they both make about 8 mil a year............. so that would take us out of the runnging for josh smith, so you would rather have Anderson than smith? Dont think so
I distinctly remember him going for Omer's pump fake. Allowing Big O' a straight dive for the wide open dunk haha. I laughed so hard watching replays.
I'd gladly have him over Smith, better shot selector, doesn't play like a bone head at times, stretches the floor for more guard penetration and helps D12 by making his defender stay on the perimeter. He is what we needed all season last year. Down fall not as athletic of a defender. There is a reason why Pelicans wanted him in the trade and wont give him up all year last year and this so far this offseason. Having D12/Harden/Smith will put us in cap hell after 2 years.
