what would be the biggest upgrade

martin is better than granger lol

but by the the best upgrade would be ANYONE ON THE ROSTER FOR CP3.

or ideally brian cook for lebron james sign and trade

 

I love watching AB, but CP3 would've been the biggest of those listed.

 

Martin SG
Granger SF

Iguaodala overpaid

 

The obvious answer to this question is AB to CP3.

I love AB, the guy just knows how to put the ball in the hoop... but while AB can produce for himself, CP3 produces for everyone. He makes the passes that leads to much easier buckets. He creates for himself, demands attention from the defense, and then dishes it to his open teammates. And his defense is some of the best in the league from a PG standpoint.

Granger, while a better defender than Martin, is less efficient on offense. That doesn't mean I wouldn't love to get the guy. I'm sure his efficiency would rise if he came to Houston, but from a player-comparison standpoint, it's really not THAT big of an upgrade.

Iguodala might be better than Ariza, but they are completely different types of players, so it's hard to compare the two.

 

If you would have made it Ariza to Granger, though... that would have been much, much tougher.

 

Ariza to Granger. Or Ariza to Anthony Randolph, so long as Battier's still here to mentor the young man.

 

Sure, Granger is better than Martin at defense, but he is not as good a scorer and he is not as good at one fundamental aspect of their game: drawing fouls and converting those easy points

 

Who else was on that team that could score 10 points a game consistently?



Martin, while having to refer to Tyreke Evans and his extreme ball dominating tendencies, still nearly lead the league in scoring before going down with a freak injury.

Martin is a .600 tsp scorer while Granger is not anywhere near that

 

Granger in our system would basically be Peja. Better defense, slightly worse shot.

Iguodala, while a huge upgrade over Ariza, would have some problems given his lack of size at the 3 and his poor long-range shooting, which is pretty important in Adelman's offense.

I'd pick Brooks to CP3.

 

I picked Scola to Bosh...

but where was Brooks to Rubio!!!!!

 

Granger.


But CP3 needs to pipe down and get traded out east on management's terms.

I don't want to see him in a Rockets uniform. I'll take Brooks.

 

Trevor to Iggy.....it would be an upgrade of massive proportions, the others are upgrades, but not taking a position that is average and making it really good.

DD

 

CP3 to Brooks slightly over Ariza to Iggy. I only say that if we keep Ariza to play alongside CP3 and Yao. That would take his game up a level playing next to Ming drawing double teams and CP3 finding him for open 3s and cuts to the rim. He's shown he plays good off others(e.g. when Martin came here & his time with the Lakers).

Cp3 + Ariza >> AB + Iggy



and Scola to Bosh didn't and won't happen so why is that even an poll option?

 

Massive proportions? I don't think so. Ariza fits this team perfectly with the addition of Martin. I don't know if anyone noticed, but Ariza's scoring and shooting percentage went up after Martin came. It would be an upgrade, but almost lateral. Personally, i think Ariza will become a fan favorite this season. Also, i know you don't like JT, but i have a feeling that you will this season. Except for his passing(which i feel he will improve as he plays), he is almost the mirror image of a poor mans D Wade.

 

Looking at the poll results, I'm very surprised that people think so highly of Igoudala. He is a shooting guard that can't shoot, we don't know if he can pass, and he makes twice what Ariza makes.

 

what happened to the ariza to granger option?
