This is a very interesting post. Forgot about Brooks needing a raise soon. If adding Brooks saves all the draft picks, Morey might love that idea. Edit: remember that on a team with Martin, Bosh and Yao, you will not be asking your PG to score a lot for you.
TJ ford is a past first shoot NEVER point guard. If ur looking for purely assist then fine. But when ur PG cant hit open three's on a squad with more than one superstar, then it's pointless. Also, Lowry is one of my favorites. But he is not suit to start on a team with Yao and another superstar. He's a pace changer who does better coming off the bench. Answer, KEEP AB.
With Yao, Bosh, and Martin, we would probably need more of a set-up PG, not a scoring one. I like AB as much as the next guy, but in all honesty he is not a set up PG. He has proven that over the past two years. He is a scorer. Pretty good one, but not a playmaker or shot creator for others. If we add more talent to the starting lineup they will need the ball to produce. Can't have your PG taking shots away from them. Lowry would penetrate and dish all day long. So, I guess we shall see how it all goes down in about 5 days.
You think Toronto would want a signed and traded Lowry at max dollars? Maybe you just blew YOUR mind.
LOL - not on your life, just saying include him in the mix......come on now....don't be obtuse. Lowry will get a Sessions type of deal...maybe..... DD
Dude, like I said, I thought you couldn't sign and trade a player in a combination of other players. I've read here that you can't do a sign and trade for Bosh that includes us signing and trading Scola along with other assets. Don't be obese.
You do it as an ancillary deal. Man, I have to explain everything....no cognitive thought around here sometimes. But it is nice to know you can read. DD
OK, so write up a logical deal that would get Lowry to Toronto in a separate deal for something AND a deal for a sign and trade of Chris Bosh.
He carried the team all the way to the lottery and the Rockets managed to be better on offense when he was NOT on the floor - good job Aaron!
Yeah, that is a shock considering he was saddled with those hard charging offensive juggernauts, Hayes, Ariza and Battier in the lineup with him. How did Bosh do in leading his team this year? hmmmmmm? Ah, the Greek Lowry..yes.... DD
The Greek Lowry? LOL You wish he had been as good as Lowry. No defense, lost in the offense, turnover machine, shot jacker...sure sounds like Lowry to me. You're delusional DD. At least you sign your posts though so I can just chuckle at the end and go "ohhhhhhhh it's DD" instead of taking them too seriously.
Playing with that same juggernaut, it wasn't a hindrance for Kevin Martin to outperform his replacement and it wasn't a hindrance for Kyle Lowry. Guess who he was replacing. This thread is about replacing Brooks. The fact that the Rockets did not do any worse when he went off the floor, and in fact even got slightly better, indicates to me that the replacement cost may not be as drastic as is being posited.
