    And when we meet the Spurs in the playoffs, Anderson is going to slow down Duncan how much?

    Its true, we could end up with Garcia still, but now your assuming too much to suggest we can still land him.

    They wanted Noah, but that was before they got Lopez. Morey has proven me wrong before, but I just don't see anyway that we realistically have enough pieces to get LMA or Love, which would be my 1 and 1B choices to complete our roster.

    Haha, I'm done with you, man. You continue to go in circles with your argument and back it up with ZERO substance. Have a good night.

    so we bring in Josh smith who is good defensively, but can't shoot--which doesn't play to Dwight's strengths.

    that's just counter intuitive, you are underestimating Dwight's ability to transform a defense.

    You're on record saying that Nash made everyone better on offense.

    Dwight does EXACTLY what Nash does, just on the defensive end.

    this cannot be refuted.

    You've been making a good intelligent case, Dat Dude. Before you go, what do you think about the Heat match-up issue?

    With Morey's magical powers he can probably combine the two's strengths into a super player! He'll twitter - "Please welcome the newest Rocket JoRyan Andersmith!!"

    Or he could just play Terrence Jones more. Got a little bit of both in him.

    that team was on life support when D'antoni was appointed captain of that ship.

    It was just a matter of when, not if, it would sink.

    I am ready to end my side of the debate. Ive made my points. You and anyone else is welcome to disagree with them. But I think we can agree that Morey isnt going to consult either of us when he decides whats best.

    Minnesota needs a center. Pekovic is a free agent.

    Dwight and Harden are our centerpieces. We're going to build around their strengths.

    Harden drives and kicks, Dwight posts and kicks.

    Let's keep that ball flying from 3

    I'm not crazy about Josh Smith, but i'd prefer his style of play over Anderson's.

    My only fear is Smith needs the ball in his hand too much at times. I didn't like seeing Howard in a place where there were so many scoring options. Anderson would be a better fit! Howard can take care of the D, only if we found a way to keep T.Rob

    A little off topic here...

    What about E. Ilyasova instead of Anderson?

    Decent 3% point shooter and better defensively than Anderson. Seems like this could a player Morey targets.



    We all know that Rockets rarely acquire players mentioned in rumors.


    What about Alridge and Love in a 3 team trade that sends Josh Smith to one of those places?
