    I just want to change the topic just a little bit based on the article about Morey chasing Amare.

    Where would Houstons front court (if the move TMac to the 3) rank in the current NBA?


    Boston = Perkins, KG, Peirce
    LA = Bynom, Gasol, Ariza
    Portland = Oden, Aldridge, Outlaw
    Denver = Anthony, Nene, KMart
    New Orleans = West, Peja, TChandler
    Orlando = Howard, Rashard, Turkalu
    Atlanta = Al Horford, Josh Smith, Marvin Williams


    Not sure who I am leaving out but Those are the best front courts in the NBA in my oppinion (Houston not included). Not sure how I would rank them but Boston is the best of the bunch IMO. Where would a Houston front court of TMac, Amare and Yao rank in that buch? Wouldn't they have to be right at the very top?

    Than who? The lack of athletisism has haunted that front court all season long. Teams with less talent have hurt that front court because of our lack of athletic ability. Remember Memphis? How about Washington? Losses that can be tied directly back to our lack of athletic ability in our front court.

    Amare is better than Scola...period and certainly a much better athlete than anyone else on our team.

    Agreed, and you don't gut your roster of other viable pieces.

    If you can't get a PG for Artest then run with what ya got.

    Seems like everyone is forgetting Von. The suns could easily want Von and Landry in the deal.

    That would rank as one of the worst defensive front courts .... Two guys don't play defense and one guy tries but he isn't very good at it.

    I don't understand how this isn't obvious to some people.

    As i see it, these are Amare's priorities.

    1. get paid
    2. get the ball...alot
    3. run
    4. get away with not playing defense
    5. win
