    None?

    Harden/Howard/Parsons 2.0?

    Good enough to try and build around them?

    I know its premature, but if everybody buys we can be in the WCF. D-mo will develop the mid range jumper eventually and once that's starting falling consistently its going to be a problem.

    They are good enough, we just need super role players for the bench now.

    The biggest difference between dmo and parsons is that dmo can create for himself and others. He can be a legit first option during parts of the game.

    If we can still get an upgrade at PG. We get it....but D-Mo is now untradable. Dragon will fit so good on this team. At that point we're title contenders. No doubt in my mind.

    Get Dragon, shore up the bench, and destroy this league.

    No potential. DMo's last name doesn't start with the letter "H" so he won't fit in. We need an "H" guy to be the third star.

    It's too bad we missed out on Chris Hosh.

    Teams are obviously gonna put thier biggest/best Post defender on Dwight, leaving DMO to kill any PF who tries to guard him

    And if they Switch that up, Dwight will have an easier time against weak and smaller 4's

    Can we get Horford without losing Harden/Howard/DMo?

    Harden/Howard/Horford big three. DMo the sixth man of the year aka Manu.

    This could be a legit big 3. Dmo is developing into the player Rox fans hoped he would be. Rox should be looking scary to the rest of the league right now.

    You guys know Dmo is getting traded right? I'm excited he's finally getting playing time, he will definitely help us get a nice asset.

    Completely agree. DMo just needs more minutes on the court to accumulate experience, a LOT of minutes. DMo is not quite a star yet. But his improvement in offense completes the PF position because his position defense and PnR defense are also pretty good.

    As mentioned above, the Rockets now need super bench more than anything. And that $8.4M TPE could play a BIG roll for this season.

    Fun to watch this group of guys play.
