    we don't need a PF. Jones and Dmo are developing nicely. We need a freaking PG.

    I've noticed that when we play our worst, the ball is not moving. We need someone to keep the offense moving, and not let it become stagnant. Harden can play well off the ball and we need to give him more opportunities to do that. We need a PG. that is the missing piece on this team. Jones and DMo will continue to improve. they are almost there. At PG, we're nowhere!

    I'd absolutely kill to still have Kyle Lowry.

    It's ironic because the only guy with a history of stopping Curry is Toney Douglas.

    Sure, when Curry was 12 years old.

    Good point. But watching Curry hit those shots you can't tell me Bev wouldn't rough him up a little. Curry's literally free stroking out there. If Bev agrees to come off the bench, our first option should be Ty Lawson this off season. I seriously HOPE Morey doesn't waste that money and gamble on Llul

    I know this is totally hypothetical but where do you all think this series would be at if Rockets had traded DMO, Beverly and a pick for a one year rental of Dragic? Im not talking about the future and only this season and this is totally hypothetical!!!

    We'll have DMo back so PF will be solid, we need a PG in the worst way. A backup PF might be a need too if Smith doesn't return.

    There are 10 - 15 all-star to borderline all-star talents in the Nba right now and we have... What we have.

    Dragic would 100% be a Rocket right now if it weren't for the 180 he and his agent pulled the week of the trade deadline, IMO.

    Dragic would have been huge in this series.
    Sadly, he's probably out of our price range at this point.

    Lawson seems to be a very logical target.

    We need both. A good player at PG that can create shots for himself and others. At PF we just need someone who can play consistently. DMo, Jones and Smith are all liable to fade at any given moment, especially on the boards. Just give me someone who shows up and can be counted on.

    I've never liked the idea of Harden the pg. His history and performance has shown he's too turnover prone. They need a legit pg who can do it in terms of pace and setting guys up. I've seen too many times that when the rockets get the rebound, harden comes back for the ball vs filling the lanes and running. He actually plays very well off tbe ball, but its tiresome tk try to do what he's trying to do. Curry doesnt handle the ball as much as Harden does because the offense they run has backside action and creates angles for others. The rockets offense is still to iso centric. It looks good when Harden shoots like he did in game 2, but what can you don when he shoots like he did most of the clippers games and lime he did i. Game 1 and 3?

    Rondo's defense could be a Curry Killer?

    Rondo himself could be a Rocket killer. Only desperate teams like the Lakers would take their chances with a player like Rondo at this point.

    We also need a defensive enforcer assistant coach.
