Rockets should make harden the point guard and get a quality SG. Problem solved. Except for harden guarding PG's
Who were the all star point guards playing with Jordan, Kobe and Wade when they were the best shooting guards in the league and winning championships?
I am not complaining. I was just asking other people's opinion about my "crazy" theory. Maybe I generalized it too much and included all possible PGs when the post should have been only about Dragic willingness to come here. I do think one of the reasons Dragic didn't come here was because of Harden. Dragic wants to be first option, he wasn't going to be here, so he wasnt going to commit long term to us. Why would we trade away too manyt players for a guy that will leave in a few months?
A playmaking pg could be used. But if Bev regains his stroke, which I believe he will, all will be forgotten. But I can't understand why Joey Dorsey's still gonna be getting minutes. He sucks. I mean REALLY sucks. Why Morey ever drafted him, let alone BROUGHT HIM BACK, baffles me. This proves Charles Barkley's case that sometimes Morey's analytics make backfire
Let's see, Dragic wanted to play on teams with Wade, Kobe and Melo, but didn't want to play with that ball hog Harden? Or did he name those 3 teams because they were glamour markets with owners willing to hand out ridiculous contracts?
There was a reason that Lin was benched for Beverley ... and that reason caused Dragic to avoid being traded to the H-town again. Harden is and would always be the de facto PG. He plays like a PG, thinks like a PG, and says he is the PG.
Wade learnt how to play off the ball alongside LBJ. And he is OLD and injury-prone now. He can just let Dragic to run the offense and he will benefit more from it. At the end of the day, the Heat wants Dragic badly. They don't have a second options on the perimeter if Mario Chalmers can't get it going. In Houston, Harden is the point, not Dragic. Dragic's best role here would supposed to be the Sixth-man and that's a worse situation for him.
Both Jordan and Asik were on the board, coincidentally, they were drafted 35 and 36, while Dorsey was drafted 33
Not sure why this is a 1-star thread. I think it's a legitimate question and isn't intended to insult Harden. James is practically a point guard already, and as the best player by far on the team, needs to have the ball a lot. I'd rather talk about how the offense would look if we DID have a facilitating point guard and all our players healthy. Harden would still need to get 80% of the possessions he's getting now or it would be a waste. He also creates all of it himself. Does your point guard manage the other three players on the team to make them more effective while also being able to shoot from outside? Do you have a dichotomous offense of either four players or one player on a possession? I don't know the answer to any of these questions, and I imagine prospective point guards don't either. Work of any type isn't interesting or enjoyable if you're not sure what your role is or what you're supposed to be doing.
Yes, because Beverley is a smarter player, a better defender, and doesn't turn the ball over at a ridiculous rate. But I don't see what any of that has to do with this thread.
Truth. Unfortunately accepting the simple truth is not as much fun as dismissing the obvious in search of conspiracy.
Dragic's agent just want his client to start and be the primary ball handler for the rest of the season to showcase his skill those are the 3 team he can start right away hopefully he can get a big contract
