    We have max cap space going into free agency. Who would you like to see on the Rockets?

    I'm curious about Andre Iguodala if he will exercise his ETO and what the market would be for him.

    Carl Landry- Not good enough
    Paul Milsap- Yes please
    David West- Not good enough
    Monta Ellis- Terrible
    Andrew Bynum- Just too risky

    Isn't Dwight Howard a possible option? or does Houston not have a max? I really don't think Dwight will stay in LA.

    Josh only. the other guys are either to old, overated, or undersized. Josh's defense will be needed with this struggling lineup. With that happening, patterson, dmo, or jones will be traded.

    This is tough because you can't trust the Rockets coaching staff to find out what they already have on the team. You could have a gem at pf already and mistakenly sign Smith to big money.

    I'd honestly just give Parsons a big raise to keep him happy. That's about it.

    I still believe Motiejunas is the PF of the future for this org. I'd try to get a sixth man dirt cheap/on a moneyball contract.

    If Mayo can continue his 3pt play, I'd go for him and have a 1-2-3 guard punch with Harden-Lin-Mayo. I think he best fits in the strategy that the Rockets are going towards. Imagine a small lineup with them all on the court at the same time :eek:

    I'd really want to replace someone at the PF spot, but don't think Josh Smith or Millsap can take us over the top. I'd compile assets (Landry actually looks really good here again) and then hope that TJones or DMo pan out into a star until a better option at PF comes along.

    NONE OF THE ABOVE MENTIONED players ON THE LIST!
    Unfortunately you forgot that we are a rebuilding team with high potential, found through newly acquired players of talent.
    Although many of the players listed have talent and experience, most of them are too old and have reached or passed their peak. We need talented players who can grow with in our team. At least that is what I understand by the gutting of the team and a restart over.
    Thank God Morey's plans for Howard, Gasol and Nene never came to fruition!
    God must be keeping check on us! :p Y

    Those are a tiny minority of "fans" who'd rather root for Lin and the Lakers than the Rockets (where he is being singled out by our evil and possibly racist coaches and fans).

    I second your nomination sir...although I would prefer to make a run at JVG

    As for the poll...none of the above; Jefferson if necessary.

    JVG was responsible for the offense, and Thibs was for the defense. Thibs is now the Bull's head coach. You do remember the Rockets offense under JVG, right?
