'Best' Possible Rockets' team for upcoming offseason

I can't left out KD, you're asking for the best possible team so...

Beverley/Llull/Jet
Harden/Gentile (BAE?)
Durant/Ariza
Horford/Beasley/Harrell
Capela/MLE

or

Beverley/Llull/Jet
Harden/MLE
Durant/KJ
Horford/Beasley/Harrell
Capela/D.Mo/BAE (Nene?)

 

Free Agent Signings
Mike Conley
Hassan Whiteside
Aaron Brooks

Resign Motiejunas

Acquired via trade
Tucker-Len for Brewer-Capella
P.Gasol for Ariza
Sign and Trade - Jones for Dunleavy

2016 Rockets
Conley/Beverly/Brooks
Harden/Dunleavy/McDaniels
Tucker/Dekker
Gasol/Motiejunas/Harrell
Whiteside/Len

Frank Vogel-HC

 

Gasol is a free agent.

 

For like the 5th season in a row someone has been brought in to replace Beverly as the starter and year after year after year he outplays them. Gotta respect him.

 

Scrub vs. Scrub situation

 

Just to reming the many who think that Horford is a CENTER- when heis actually a Power Forward

 

not only that, but after playing out of position for most of his career, and now being at the end of his prime, he doesnt wanna be the starting center for his new team.

 

Yep, i agree, he can play center in today's nba, especially in a small ball lineup, but he's a power forward, especially now since he can also shot from outside. He was also tired to play center a couple of years ago, not sure if he changed his mind, but i don't think so.

 

If those PGs don't have ball in hand, then they would not be as good as Beverly.

 

Schroder/Bev
Harden/(shooter)
Ariza/KJ/(draft)
Horford/Beasley/Harrell
Whiteside/Capela

Coach: JVG
Assistant: D'Antoni, Finch, Ewing

 

Trade for: PJ Tucker, Darren Collison, and Omri Casspi
Free agent signings: Al Horford (max), Pau Gasol ($7.77M player option), Jared Dudley (wants 3-year deal; paid $4.375M this year)
Buyout: Alessandro Gentile

There's some wiggle room to add players with a projected $92M cap.

3-Pt Field Goal Pct (Regular Season 2015-16)
#7 Jared Dudley ▪ WAS .420
#12 Omri Casspi ▪ SAC .409
#17 Darren Collison ▪ SAC .401
#18 Patrick Beverley ▪ HOU .400
#62 James Harden ▪ HOU .359
#81 Al Horford ▪ HOU .344

2016-17
Beverley ($6M) / Collison ($5.23M)
Harden ($16.8M) / Gentile ($?)
Tucker ($5.3M) / Casspi ($2.96M)
Horford (max) / Dudley ($?) / Harrell ($1.05M)
Gasol (?) / Capela ($1.3M)

 

^ #81 Al Horford ▪ ATL .344 (oops)

 

Trade or sign players with high 3 pt % on this list looking at Catch & Shoot 3 pt % for players who played 40 games and attempted an average of 1 three-pointer a game:

We got room for 2 max contracts?

Ariza + 2nd + future first for Teague (even money)
sign Durant and Whiteside to max deals
Turn Brewer contract into Courtney Lee...

Teague/Bev/Goud
Harden/Lee/KJ
Durant/Lee/Deck
Beas/Harrell
Whiteside/Capella

I presume that maxs the cap space other than some mins, or else I'd keep DMo too..

 

This... Someone make this man the GM of the Rockets!

 

my sources told me , he might become one

 

3 players I would love to have,
Conley, Batum and Noah.

 

So the Grizzlies are pretty much falling apart, any chance we could nab Gasol? I'd much rather have him than Conley.
