Who would you pick: Lafrentz or Olowakandi? Odom or Lewis(possible hometown discount)? What do you guys know about Paitkowski(LAC), and Dan Dickau, and what are your opinions on each? Should we let Langhi, Willis, Williams, Torres, and Brown leave via free agency, or should we sign and trade? Should we try to get Othello Harrington back in the free agency, or go after S Walker or B Bowen? IF it were possible to get Lafrentz, Olowakandi, Harrington, Lewis, Piatkowski, Dickau, could you see parting with Mocchie, Rice, Taylor, Cato, and Collier and possibly both our picks? I have a pretty wild scenario that involves a couple teams so I want your input before i post. and even though there is no base for it, i think compared to some other trade speculations that are really out there( like getting KG, as much as i'd love too see that), this one might work, even under the cap.
Kandi-man over Lafrentz - Kandi is more athletic Odom over Lewis - Odom fits our needs precisely, although either would be good I would definitely consider releasing or trading Langhi, Williams, Torres, Brown, and Willis, eventually, once we have talented enough players to replace them. They are not part of the Rockets' future plans and everyone really know this on one level or the other. But...if you are expressing that we could get AND AFFORD Kandi, Lafrentz, Rashard, etc on our team, I think that is highly unlikely. I would like to see your trade scenario, you say is realistic enough for this to happen, however. It is difficult to imagine being able to acquire 2 starting quality centers in any fashion, whether it be being able to maintain them economically, or being able to trade for them with our deficit of good player bait!
Kandi, he's got some nice low-post moves. Lewis (but only if he takes less or equal the money Odom takes). Neither Kowski nor Dickau are worth getting with the guys we already have at guard. Let all of those guys except Torres go. We could use a decent big guard. I'd love to get Harrington back and trade Taylor. Samaki ain't worth it, and Bruce ain't movin'. I would move anyone but our big three (Franchise, Mobes, and EG) to get Kandi or Lewis. The others would be very slight upgrades, and aren't worth the effort.
