    Bosh... Next year, Miami might not be able to get him due to salary cap. Miami might elect to prioritize Wade and Lebron. Bosh is an all-star. It just didn't show much due to Lebron and Wade. Harden and Bosh will be enough to take us to the next level. Some very good, old and cheap free agents will surely sign if Rockets can get hold of Bosh. With Bosh, we can play slow or fast. He can play inside or outside. This year he has even showed that he can shoot from beyond the 3-point arc. He can rebound and defend. He can also take over as our primary offense when Harden is resting. That and the double teams he and Harden will get. It will be a field day for the other players. His game is also a perfect fit for Harden since he can shoot, post-up or pass.

    Realistically, Josh Smith or David West.

    I'd go with Kevin Love. An elite rebounder fits right into our transition game, and the PF's ability to hit near 40% from 3pt range on a team with a SG who goes to the line 10 times = money. He is constantly working hard on improving. McHale can help him work on his post game.

    On offense, Love/Harden is absolutely lethal. With Asik, Parsons and even Beverley, that Rockets team could contend for the next 5 years.

    LeBron James should be the obvious answer?

    Manimal, an Asik-Manimal frontcourt would be terrifying

    Trade Asik for a good backup 2. Sign Yao and Cato for the 5/4 spots. Cray.

    Yes, if we could get anybody, other than LBJ and KD I'd take Chris Bosh. Bosh is pretty much the successor to KG, he's just the most (2nd most anyway) versatile big man out there right now and while he doesn't have KG's legendary D he can play C in a pinch.

    Sorry to say this, but LMA and Love can't hold a candle to CB. Hell, even Howard hasn't proven himself the way CB has. CB has been clutch, and been able to blend seamlessly with both LBJ and Wade, people just didn't notice because with Batman and Robin hogging all the storylines, batgirl got put on to the side. Offensively and defensively, Bosh would be the perfect fit for our team. The problem is Miami won't let go of him, the main reason their swiss army D can work is LBJ, Bosh and Battier can defend at least 2 positions each.

    I LOVE LMA. Chris Bosh would be fantastic too.

    Am I the only one who thinks Faried is overrated? I just don't get it really.

    Would Kevin Love be the best fit? He shoots threes which is something Morey prefers over mid-range jumpers, and I heard Morey mention that he wants us to be an elite offensive rebounding team.

    I agree, he's starting to get overrated by some people. I like his energy, but he doesn't have any go-to moves and he's just an average defender.

    Kevin Love. I really think he is a superstar level talent if he can get healthy.

    Aldridge or Love or Ryan Anderson are my top considerations. All unlikely by next season but they would instantly make this team closer to a title contender, especially underneath this system.

    Easy. Serge ibaka. He can block shots, hit the mid range jumper, and hit the occasional three
