Could Morey's plan be to somehow get Dwight and JSmith?

I dont know

 

ya sure

 

Worst 74th post ever...

 

maybe....maybe no

 

maybe, maybe no

 

Almost certainly not.

 

We would be pretty good.

 

Oh, lord, make it stop!

 

Most likely not... especially if someone is going to offer Smith close to a max contract that he has to match this Summer, and he thinks that he's going to have to pay Harden, Howard(after acquired and extended), and Smith(free agent extension) all on one payroll. It would leave the team in a completely terrible situation financially where they would have zero flexibility to build around that core.

More than likely he's just worried about getting that #2 star player first. Whether that's Howard, Smith, Milsap, Love, etc. who the hell knows. What I do know is that he's most likely not planning on getting 2 more all star players if he thinks they are all going to be max salary players.... so take that for what you will.

So I say pretty clearly NO.

 

If we do get them then we're gonna have to rework our whole offense. We're gonna have to actually run some post plays.

You have been a member since 2001 and only have 74 posts? This seems pretty special.... so to answer your question, I think his plan is to find the player that will get this team to a championship. Honestly, I don't have faith in Dwight being that player even with a better supporting cast than LA. Smith, well unless he comes cheap he won't make this team a contender. If by some miracle we manage to get both, I don't know if we'd be better than OKC and the Heat. It really depends on if Dwight could be that dominating player he once was in Orlando.

 

From a cap standpoint, very improbable. The only scenario where this works is if the Rockets release just about everyone and give Howard a max contract, then send Asik and someone else(say Patterson) to Atlanta for Josh Smith in a S&T. The Rockets would then be left with Howard, Smith&Smith, Parsons, Harden, Lin, Beverly, Anderson, and 1 or 2 of our young PFs.

 

I think once you get that 2nd star the 3rd option is much easier to find.

Since you won't have to rely on that guy much. Your first two stars should make the game much easier.

I think Lin would get a lot more assists with Howard than Asik. If you just look at how he played with Chandler...

 

UNLIKELY. Josh Smith is not worth the money he'd be demanding, and Dwight won't leave 30 mil on the table for coming here.

 

I bet he would leave money on the table to get the hell out of LA and on a contender. I don't see any way he stays with the Lakers.

Are you okay with paying Josh Smith max salary contract?
