    We need a Mike Dunleavy-JJ Redick type on this team to keep up with these West powerhouses in a season. I would start by trying to get Dunleavy from Chicago and drafting a pure shooter ala Devin Booker in the draft. Lawson would be a nice get as well.

    Well we had Troy Daniels but he was bad at everything else.

    Terry's been solid, he's a pretty good example of a pure shooter. Could use a couple more, but we also need defenders. Good 3 and D players aren't that easy to find, and are in high demand.

    Yes. The Rockets emphasize 3 pointers more than any other team in the league. It would be great if we had a player who was, you know, actually really good at shooting them.

    Rockets just don't have any idea how to maintain defensive focus for extended periods of time, which is depressing because of how they made their money on that earlier this season. They just don't care enough anymore.

    including getting off shots at a good clip in NBA games.

    When the Rockets won their first Championship, they had Horry, Maxwell, Kenny Smith, Mario, and Cassell, and all it took was for one of them to heat up.

    These are two good moves in the right direction. I'd let Brew walk as well.

    Those were dogs compared to what's on the team presently.

    We had a couple in Daniels and Canaan - we traded them.

    This team is so unbalanced, and undisciplined....

    Spurs = Green, Ginobili, Belinelli, Mills
    Heat = Ray Allen, James Jones, Shane Battier, Mike Miller
    Warriors = Curry, Thompson, Barbosa [anyone else who isn't a big]

    I am jealous. :(

    PLEASE get some shooters this offseason.

    Imagine if JJ redick was on this time...

    Instead we have sub-par shooting scrubs like Corey Brewer and Prigioni who can't make a 3 to save their life

    I think better FT shooting would help more. But yes, we need a Delfino type on our team.
