I am all for positions 1-4, but I would rather have Howard. I am not going to judge it is your opinion.
Copy and pasting my response from another thread Llull/Bev Harden/Johnson Ariza/Dekker/McDaniels D Mo/Smith/Harrell Dwight/Clint/Dorsey The remaining two spots are wildcards. One filled likely by a Jones trade (I still think he gets moved). The other being Jet or some other leadership type veteran. Maybe we cut Dorsey but the guaranteed contract makes me doubt it. Hate to say it cause he was far and away my favorite new Rocket, but I think the Dekker pick coupled with the fact that KJ should come much cheaper makes me think Morey let's Brewer walk.
That's a nice roster assuming Llull can come in and start without any growing pains. Some of us have unreal expectations for the kid. I'll be happy with an 18 MPG backup that can create for the second unit. I love TJ & Paps, but I think they are now very redundant assuming we keep all of our FAs (namely Brewer and Smith). I think a trade with these two, picks thrown in as needed, happens at some point before the season, likely for an upgrade at the guard. Jack, Collison, Lawson, Foye, Jennings, etc. could all potentially be available depending upon what happens during FA. I'm sure Morey has a number of 'contingency' trades for a guard depending upon what happens during FA.
McDaniels is a SG and play also backup of Harden. Cut Dorsey and remaining three spot on roster :grin:
Llull, Lin, Jet Harden,K.J. Jenkins, Ariza,Brewer, KPap, Dekker T.Jones Smith, Harrell Howard, DMo, Capela One of those guys won't make it....... Probably pap
Llull / Johnson Harden / Terry Ariza / Dekker DMo / Smith Howard / Capela This is my worst case for now. I'll consider anything else a bonus.
That is a okay lineup. I hope we can do better than that come start of season. If we had to go with your lineup that would not be a bad thing.
Lowry Harden Ariza Dmo Howard I'm predicting another Hardenesque trade later in the offseason once our recent draft picks have shown themselves at the SL. Plus, I believe the Rockets can now offer next year's first round pick, which they could not do prior to the draft.
Agree. Helpful for setting expectations. I do think Papa, Prigioni, and TJones will be used to get someone, and I still have a hard time believing we would just let KJ McDaniels walk.
Bev/Lin Harden/W.Matthews Ariza/Dekker Motiejunas/Scola Howard/Capela Benchwarmers: Jet, McDaniels D-League: Johnson, Harrell, Wood
George Hill/Sergio Llull James Harden/Jason Terry Trevor Ariza/ KJ McDaniels DMO/Josh Smith/ Luis Scola/Harrell D12/Clint Capela I think Jones, K pap and Dekker get traded for Hill Bev goes to Dallas Brewer goes to Sactown
