    Golden State just signed Iguodala and is looking to unload Bogut for nothing. What about Asik and D-MO for David Lee? His contract is cheaper than what Josh Smith got and he is a better rebounder. He doesn't have Anderson's range, but his mid range game is good and he can run the floor. The only con I see is the length of his contract and that he is somewhat injury prone.

    HOU starting 5
    Howard
    Lee
    Parsons
    Harden
    Lin

    GS Starting 5 (If they unload Bogut)
    Asik
    Barnes
    Iguodala
    Thompson
    Curry

    That would be great fit imo. D Lee doesn't have three point range but can stretch the defense with mid range jumpers. Also great lengthy post player offensively and a beast on the boards. He is not very athletic however, and apparently very bad on defense according to advanced stat. analysis, but I think having a player like him next to Howard might be good. I'd be really happy with him or Ryan Anderson, but Lee is the better player.

    GS is a better team when David Lee is on bench

    GS will pay a bench player 13 mil per season?

    Lee is a 20/10 players. Please tell me how many 20/10 players there is in the NBA?

    This is the next move Morey should make. Lee would put this team right up there with SA and MIA.

    He was 18/11 this last season. Omer Asik was 10/11.

    But Lee's defense is so bad it's a wash between them; sure, he scores 8 more points than Omer, but you're lucky if he only gives up 8 more points on the defensive end.

    Asik for Lee? Hell no. Lee is terrible on defense.

    I guess all that regular season work he did to help them make the playoffs doesn't matter, right?:rolleyes:
