    -I'm interested to see what Canaan can do in an expanded role.

    -DMo has drastically improved and I would love to see what he can do with this offseason and with Omer's minutes.

    -The fact that the Rockets are a significant player in just about all talks, pipe dream or not. It didn't seem like long ago we were wondering if we should tank for a high pick.

    -Morey is well recognized to even casual fans now; Sam Hinkie is well recognized

    -James Harden is 24 years old. If you are older, remember when you were 24 and the things you needed to work on as you got older. Also, look up a current NBA depth chart and look at all active shooting guards.

    -Dwight Howard still has not peaked

    Personally, I feel his post game and footwork has improved THIS season. His freethrow form IMO is much improved this season, notice the lack of hack-a-dwight towards the end of the season. He still can improve on passing and his left hand in the post.

    We got rid of LOF now we need to get rid of thread creation tools for anyone bellow 3-4 rep. If anything breaking J.R. will post it anyways. I am optimistic this can be done.

    One more thing, if we get the Parsons back, we can beat any team in the east - Heat or Cavs. And, beat the champions 4 times last year.

    We should be focusing in retooling to beat Clippers and Thunder.

    Friday, at the NBA Draft Combine in Chicago, the 6-foot-3 Johnson recorded one of the best vertical jump times at the combine, coming in at an unofficial height of 41.5 inches.
    ---

    But what is worth noting is that the 47-inch maximum vertical leap and 38-inch no-step vertical that UA says Johnson recorded today is that those numbers would have put him above everybody except Memphis' D.J. Stephens in the 2013 NBA predraft tests (assuming the tests were executed the same).

    ---
    Clint capela and dwight howard have 7'4.5" wingspans. Capela has a 9'2.5" standing reach.

    Good thread btw.

    The spurs will get one year older. We will be one year more experienced. ;)

    The heat no longer have a big three.

    Agreed.

    1 star? Clutchfans stop being so negative. We didnt lose a championship team. We are retooling. Lin and asik needed to go and they didnt want to be here. All these trades did wa speed up that process. Parsons was overrated too.

    Lin fans thought harden was a ballhog....kobe time.
    Omer has to live in new orleans for 1 year.
