Where is all the love for D. Granger? DG>AI 2.0. DA avg'd 24 pts/gm last year. His scoring is down this year due to the slowing down of their tempo this year. Also he is concentrating more on defense. All this and he is still 21 pt/gm player this year.
Not a bad option, after being absent due to a strong hit in his head, he´s undervalued now, and even when healthy, he´s waaay underrated... The guy has top-notch D, and is NOT useless in offense (has a lot of wasted potential in O, IMO) ....and could be gotten for peanuts (of the tons of unused assets the rockets has)...
obviously carmelo anthony pops right out at you, but danny granger was a former all star not that long ago remember? Maybe if he leaves indy theres a possibility that he could blow up and become a top 5 scorer and a force to be wreakin wit
Melo is without a doubt a top 10 player, and could easily reach the top 10-12 SF of all time from the way he is playing right now. With that being said, I think he could only exist in Houston, if we traded Kevin Martin and picked up a sf/sg who can defender and be an aggressive scorer. I'd go with the consensus on this on and say Wallace or A.I the Sequel. There's a chance we could get one without letting go of a great rotation player. Even at this point, I would consider letting Brooks go, if it is not too many other pieces involved, especially if we are getting A.I or Wallace of the deal. Furthermore, we might have to gut our team for a half-season rental for Melo and not even be that much better of a team.
Please tell me this is a joke. I was horrified to see how close the results were. Only one of those guys could potentially bring a title to Houston, and I think we all know who that is.
Melo would be the perfect one. But if we think realistically at what Houston really needs, one name comes up - Gerald Wallace. Iggy is fools' gold, and Granger isn't going anywhere. We don't need an offensive presence, 105 Points/Game is more than enough. Our true problem lies in the defense, where Gerald can do wonders. He's been one of the best defenders in the league for a couple of years now, averaging more than one steal and block per game. His hustle and toughness are also welcome, as well as those 16 ppg and 9 rpg. And Wallace has once before played for RA. A good fit for our team.
Tayshaun Prince can be had this season and would be a significant upgrade to our current SF position. But for how long, is the question.
Ask detroit fans what they think of him. He's D is way overrated, and is a shell of his former shelf.
Hmm lets see Do I want one of the 3 borderline all star players or the all star? Ooooo I go for the Rockets, therefore i want one of the lesser players!
You are talking about defense! We have one of the best defensive SF in Shane. Why the hell do we need to give up 3 good players to get a G.Wallace who might be a better scorer? WE NEED A CENTER!!!! And may be a All Star PG (who is not available). So stop talking about some SFs! Id rather have Kaman here than G.Wallace!
Everyone knows we need a center. Shane is a UFA,and might aspire to be on a championship team. Kaman can help some,but not much. Bud isn't gonna cut it. Giving up 3 players for G.Wallace is not what we need. Yao's expiring can be useful for a team like Philly. Iggy is a better defender than Battier,and does the little things plus can get more points than him.
Wallace would be a great add, but we can't give up too much for him. I'd be happy if we could get a big and Wallace.
