Sources: Dwight isn't "thrilled" with PG situation.

the only way he would be able to keep the ball out of Harden's hands is to hold onto the ball and not pass it to him.

 

Since Harden needs the ball in his hand, we could jut trade Lin+plus whatever to get a 3 Ball shooter+ defending SG like Aaron Affalo, maybe even trade Lin+Asik for Affalo,Hedo

Harden
Affalo
Parsons
Howard
Asik

or

Howard
Affalo
Parsons
Hedo
Howard

seems like win win for both teams.

Lin
Victor
Harris
Davis
Asik

 

Lin is an excellent lobber with Tyson Chandler and great alley oops passer. Can't understand why there are so many problems with Dwight. Probably not spending anytime together on the same unit and lacks chemistry at the moment. Timing is off. Don't they run any of these plays in practice? This is on the coaches.

 

Harden doesn't need the ball in his hands he wants the ball in his hands there is a big difference. Harden plays off the ball perfectly fine in OKC as the 6M. Harden is having ego problems right now & McHale can't control him.

 

dude that doesnt fit with the narrative that howard hates you if you are not elite pg..

This is about rumors negativity and not getting cp3 or deron williams. If we cant have either of those guys then we are doomed and should find the nearest tall cliff to jump from.

 

Well thats Doo-Doo. Its gunna be a long season especially if the GARM blows up after every tough loss.

If I had to pick a coach tho if McHale doesn't cut it and management sees that, they should go after George Karl if he is still up to coach.

 

The problem is that Harden has the ball and his lob passes for the most part suck.

 

PGs are overrated around the league. I think Morey knows this, thus the constant changes at the position. Rafer, Brooks, and Lowry were all traded close to their peak in value.

That said, there arent many trades to be had for a good PG right now. I only see two options....Ty Lawson and Rondo. Rondo isn't a good fit and Lawson is expensive ($12 million/year through 2016-2017).

I wouldn't expect much to change unless we get our PF of the future before the trade deadline. IF that happens, then expect one of Lin or Beverley to be traded (probably Lin) over the summer and the Rockets to use a portion of their MLE to sign Sergio Llull.

 

Just wanted to share some great Harden to Howard lobs

writing is on the wall. The fact that lin was fouled hard by Farmar and no one outside of Bev went to help him up and almost seemed like Parsons and Harden ignored him tells me there is an internal cracks happening. Harden, Howard, Parsons are pretty much not in synch with Lin whatsoever.


Last season Harden and Parsons would have rished over straight away to give him a hand, I think Dwights internal bickering about a real PG has caused seriouse friction in the team.

 

If anything, Lin should be the one asking by D12 not willing to come out to set more PnR plays? D12 is not winning on his post game on elite rim defenders. He needs to be more willing to set PnR plays with his PGs. Hope this is just a rumour, otherwise D12 is a cancer of team chemistry.

 

We should never have signed a diva to upset the good team spirit and chemistry. D12 unless with better FT and better post game like the Dream is not worth bringing the good team chemistry down. What are we going to do with all the 'Hack a Howard's in the future? LOL.

 

I'm getting worried that Parsons' getting concerned that he may not be as integral to the team as he once thought. Maybe that's why he tried so hard to be part of the D12 Welcoming Committee, because he thinks that while he's a great value player, Morey's gonna want a better player at the position, especially when Parsons' contract expires.

That would explain the bad play (pressure, desire to prove himself beyond just a "glue guy") and maybe the supposed lack of empathy with teammates like Lin, with whom he was very tight last year.

 

These guys were playing like brothers last season and now I think with Cyber x revelation(legit source) it has caused a division or a mini faction.

 

For those who proposed to trade Lin for Rondo, think again. Rondo may be a good fit elsewhere but not here. Harden can never coexist with Rondo because Rondo is not a good 3 point shooter (Lin is now shooting 40+%), and he has to have the ball 100% to be effective.

Lin has sore right elbow but did go through most of practice.

 

I said after the Dwight deal that I'd believe cyberx from now on. And I do. Just hoping there is more to this story than this.

I understand the frustration, but would prefer to hear he wants them to work together to fix things instead of talking about moving folks already.

 

has nothing to do with that. It has to do with the fact that rondo has shown elite at times and cp3 and deron williams are probably not available.

You wanted a brunette or a blonde but theres only a hot redhead left thats available. Thats rondo. he's available and as close to elite as we are gonna get anytime soon.
