If we can set up a starting lineup of Howard/Bosh/Parsons/Harden/Beverly...the bench will fall in place with good experience vets wanting to win. I also would have no issues with us getting Deng or Stephenson and letting Dallas overpay for Parsons. Either way the Rockets will be one great team.
Right but when the team trades you that many times it goes from "it's just business" to "I like the city and all buuuuut" I rather take my chances with Luke Ridnour, DJ Augustin, or Jameer Nelson on discount.
If we keep T jones that would be swell for the bench. Aaron brooks nice back up to bev. Would be cool of we could catch pierce at vet min. All We really need is that one sixth man that's sg/sf. T jones and that sixth plus back up pg and whatever we don't trade would be good enough. Our starting. 5 though potentially bev/harden/parsons/bosh/Howard. I'm gushing
Hopefully Jameer will agree to join us. Augustin would be harder to obtain. I am ok with Ridnour too.
Aaron Brooks Isaiah Canaan Nick Johnson Troy Daniels Francisco Garcia Covington Jermaine Oneal I'm assuming we find a way to keep Tjones or DMo. I'm guessing the biannual exception would be used at SF or C due to market demand (no decent player will take min)
I'm sure that after this free-for-all, there are going to be a lot of players cut. We can certainly pounce on a few.
interesting filler ideas... 1) beverley, n. johnson (in a lin-like role) 2) harden, daniels, rasual butler (defense?) 3) parsons, turkoglu or rashard lewis at minimum (homecoming deal?!) 4) bosh, jones, kenyon martin at minimum? 5) howard, okafor at minimum?
We can't sign deng or Stephenson if we sign Bosh. We can only re sign parsons since he is a rfa. How many times do people need to say this?
Honestly if we could steal Vince Carter from the Mavs I would be thrilled. He played really well against San Antonio and would be nice off the bench.
Backups: PG:J. Nelson SGaniels/Johnson SF:Aminu or Rashard Lewis/ Garcia PF:Jones/Covington C:Okafor or Anderson Thats the lineup i want to see, sprinkled in with a couple Vipers
