    The rockets lacked that last night while clippers were scoring from every spot on the floor . Houston desperately needs a midrange shooter

    Yes same. I know he's had injury issues, but they aren't the chronic type. Just freak ass incidents.

    someone on the team should kinda give a wink-wink to LMA telling him that he will bounce first thing FA starts, so it's best that Portland try to make something happens

    Asik+DMO+Jones+Pick for LMA

    Lol you are kidding right,you can't keep all These guys and sign LMA too.

    Anyway I think Asik will be moved by trade deadline,he is already valued around the leauge for Defense and rebounding so there will be Teams desperetaly asking for the Big Guy and Morey will Rob them

    So the Clippers are going to miss the playoffs? That is a bold prediction, considering how good they looked last night.

    I think you meant to write 'Clippers' instead of 'Mavs.'

    Only power forwards I want to see playing for the Rockets are
    1) KEVIN LOVE
    2) Chris Bosh
    3) Al Horford

    Aldridge and his midrange chucking butt doesn't fit the Rocket's MO at all.

    Yeah, I'd hate having his 49% career shooting on the team.

    You have to be kidding me, right? K-Love and LMA are 1a & 1b and it's not even a question.

    Mid-range is only "bad" because most players cannot hit them at a decent percentage.

    But when you are a 50% shooter from there, it's a good shot.

    The whole "lay-ups and 3 pointers" is a general rule of thumb. It doesn't mean never shoot mid-range shots. And it doesn't mean a mid-range shot isn't a good shot.

    Horford maybe easier to acquire or maybe a three way trade of Asik parsons to ATL Horford to Portland LMA to Houston.

    Ideally you trade for a lotto pick like Lowry and then that's the chip that nets you your star just like Harden.

    Let's hope Portland stumbles and looks to rebuild around Lillard and TRob and is willing to take that lotto pick and pieces for LMA.

    LOL, you misinformed people are hilarious. LMA took the most mid range shot of any power forward last year and averaged 41% of his shot. That's is terrible. You're talking about a guy who stats are padded since he takes over 20 shots a game.

    Then someone on our team give him the advice to work on 3s and cut down on those 2s and bang down low n post up.
