What's the point of getting rid of our starting PG for a PF who may or may not make us better at that position? That makes zero sense,...
Exactly, which is why Howard will start at PF and play 15-17 mins alongside Asik.
Our weakness last year was defense, not offense. If we got a stretch 4 who is a mediocre defender and rebounder, I don't think that makes us a...
Last time I checked McHale is our coach, not Morey.
If we really wanted the "stretch 4" that many here assume we want, we would have gone after Al Harrington or Antawn Jamison, who is still available.
People, we are starting Howard at the 4 and Asik at the 5. Deal with it.
Nash is like 85 yrs old and is done. I wouldn't do this trade. Id rather keep Lin and start Asik with Howard.
We already have our power forward. His name is Dwight Howard.
Nah, I have no desire to trade Lin at this point. Last year was his first full season as a starting PG. Let's see what kind of improvements he...
Again, we're looking at starting them and playing them at most 17 mins per game together. Asik would play 13 mins without Howard on the court and...
Great post Carl. I like your outside the box thinking. Asik can guard many PFs and so can Howard with his athleticism.
How big a talent upgrade? Ummm, Dwight Howard perhaps? McHale plans to put Howard at the 4 and Asik at the 5.
I'd rather start players who deserve to start. Asik deserves to start. Unless D-Mo or jones have taken a huge step forward, neither deserve to...
Obviously we need to have Asik and/or Howard on the court at all times. What I envision us doing is starting both and then using substitution...
The bottom line here is that we need to stop putting Morey and McHale in a box, thinking that they only look for one type of PF (a stretch 4)....
Again, you are not looking outside the box. You are just considering the obvious. You are failing to consider innovation and possibilities....
What facts? You have no facts to indicate that Howard and Asik can't play together. I only bring up Smith because he has no shooting ability,...
Small positive effect on defense and rebounding? That's a huge understatement. This is two of the best rebounders and defenders in the game. On...
They started 10 games together. Check the rockets stats. Asik started all 82 games and Smith started 10, so they had to have started 10...
496-459 in less than 5 games? That's very effective. We should have used that lineup more.
