Take any position and list the players you would take over the current rocket in that position for next year. I will start with SG: Harden - No one The only two SGs with higher PERs than harden are kobe and wade and they are both old, breaking down, and hurt. Therefore I wouldn't take either of those guys over Harden. Since I started with SG the next poster should pick a different position until all the positions are done.
Lin - Chris Paul, Russell Westbrook, Derrick Rose, Rajon Rondo,Stephen Curry, Tony Parker, Deron Williams, Kemba Walker, Kyrie Irving, Mike Conley, Ty Lawson, Damian Lilliard, Goran Dragic, Jrue Holiday, John Wall, Brandon Jennings, George Hill, Greivis Vasquez, Kyle Lowry INB4 someone says "Lin - Anybody"
Would take over Parsons: (disregarding contract) Lebron Durant Paul George Carmelo Batum Iguodala Deng Maybe: Leonard Hayward Left out notables: Pierce (old) Gallinari (coming off injury) Kirilenko (old) Gay (inefficient)
Center - Asik: Here is my ranking- 1. M. Gasol 2. Howard 3. Noah 4. Chandler 5. Varejao(when healthy) 6. Duncan(really a center) 7. Horford 8. Lopez 9. Bosh 10. Asik 11. Hibbert 12. Bogut 13. Garnett 14. Cousins 15. Monroe 16. Sanders 17. Vucevic Many of these guys impact the game differently than others, and some will be lower or higher in the future, but right now there are about 9 or 10 other guys I think might have a greater impact than Asik if you plugged them in the lineup instead.
Harden: Paul George, Russel Westbrook. Asik: Dwight Howard, Marc Gasol, Tyson Chandler. Lin: Beverley.
Iggy is listed as a 2, though he could play the 3. To me Deng/Batum are questionable over Parsons even without regard to age/contract. Deng/Batum/Parsons/Gay/Gallo are all fairly close ignoring money. I forgot about Leonard. He would be ahead for me by virtue of higher ceiling and younger.
No. I don't buy into his hype. He has no jumpshot. 35% from the field, 29% from 3. Lin shoots 44% and 34% from 3 and he gets crucified for it over here. Imagine how CF would deal with Rubio. Why do you think Rubio is so good?
Coach Kevin Mchale: Phil Jackson, Gregg Popovich, Rick Adelman, George Karl Tom Thibodeau, Jeff VanGundy, Stan Vangundy, Frank Vogel, Doc Rivers, Lionel Hollins... ......... ......... .........
Because hes a better player than lin will ever be? He averaged 1.3 more assits than lin despite having way less talent on his team. Rubio was the FIBA Europe Under-16 Champion MVP when lin was still in high school. He was starting pg for Spain when he won silver at the olympics FIVE years ago. Imagine how good he would be if we put some talent around him, morey said he was a championship-caliber pg. Oh, hes also 2 years younger than lin and has been playing pro ball for the spanish national team since he was 16.
