Sources: McHale is trying to get the team to acquire Mike Dunleavy

he's an upgrade over garcia. he won't eat into the cap space in 2015. sure, why not?

dmo has asked to be traded. chicago wants to save money this year and tank. seems like a logical solution.

 

Well if its as simple as Brewer + D.Mo what are we waiting for, Stern to veto it?

 

that's what I was gonna say. what's up with people not respecting the jr. these days? they do the same thing with Mike Conley.

 

Rockets can accumulate all the good shooters, but if they can't play defense, we won't go deep in the playoffs. For about the same price, I rather have Tony Allen than MD.

Rockets don't have problems scoring; the have problems defending.

 

You're preaching to the choir.

McHale's recipe...offense, offense, offense.

 

high basketball IQ...

sneaky athleticism...

:grin::grin:

I want this to happen to see a clutchfans member get the jump on the media.

 

This is perfect if it happens, shumpert was my first choice for a trade to backup harden & parsons because of his D, but dunleavy was right there with him because of his experience & how he would fit the system.

dunleavy is not a stand in the corner and only shoot guy like Garcia & casspi, he plays decent D, runs the floor, smart passer, high iq, can move without the ball to get shots. Dunleavy, Lin, asik would be perfect coming off the bench. GET IT DONE MOREY ! We would just need that backup PF to replace casspi, maybe Morey can wing ppat or someone else later.

 

Both scoring and defending (moreso) have been our problem at time.

Houston has a big problem.... His name is Fransisco Garcia. Dunleavy is better.

 

Bingo.

Doubt Dunleavy Jr. would make us deep into the playoff. Likely we will face the clippers or Blazers in the first round. I don't see Dunleavy Jr. being the difference maker.

 

What difference maker do you think we can get by dangling the likes of DMO and Brewer?

 

So....McHale is involved in player personnel?

 

If Morey can flip players who aren't even in the rotation for players who will be in the rotation, how can that be a bad thing? It's simply a matter of how much Morey is willing to sweeten the pot.

 

Very simple.... Acquire Dunleavy. Give him the minutes of Fransisco Garcia and a few from Howard and CP12.

Dunleavy is much better than Garcia. That guy is not playing well on either side of the floor.

 

Dunlevy would help to at least lessen the load on Harden / Parsons, which could translate into them playing better defense.

 

I will try to keep Dmo.

 

His pop had some good years here when we got to the Finals the first time with Big Moses, so why not

 

Really? :grin:

 

I like it. We do need another vet in the playoffs.


Also wanted to chime in to say that I'm so glad cyberx threads are no longer derailed by kids questioning his reputation.

 

Dunleavy is on the floor in pain, hopefully this ends the conversations, I don't like him on our team.

 

Mike just went down with an injury...looked semi-serious


Also: I didn't want to start a new thread, but I'm hearing we're doing something with New Orleans, but it's definitely not Ryan Anderson.

We've looked at this team for a few years now...hopefully this goes through.
