Daryl needs to step up Big Time. His Drafting has been poor. Finding a Tempo Creating Passing Guard, with 3 Point Shooting Skills. The lack of Point Guard Depth is quite alarming. Daryl should've been smarter in knowing Chris is injury prone and should've gone after a point guard. Trae a young type that can really shoot and get bench points. A young Small Forward who can slash create offense, shoot midrange and 3 point shot shots. Wish Devin Booker is available. To replace Durant really never played defense against Ariza at all. Ariza is really mediocre shooter. Only draft pick working out is Clint Capela has worked out but Capela is a flawed shooter, Free Throw form is still awful, never stands on his toes when shooting always flat footed.
Trae Young, Devin Booker are on my wish list for Daryl, I know it's impossible. He has to search for midrange shooters, 3 Point Shooters that are Point Guard, Small Forwards
Its practically impossible, though. What quality PG wants to sit on the bench for pretty much every game since CP3 & JH13 are going to play the entire game (as they should), PLUS the fact that said PG would be playing for the minimum since worthless Ryno is sucking up 20 million dollars while not contributing a damn thing.
murray did try to get a backup point guards but nobody wanted ryan anderson's trash ass contract http://bbs.clutchfans.net/index.php?threads/shams-cavs-express-interest-in-george-hill.287768/
What we need is a jockey, someone who whip Harden into getting into the offense faster. The balls going to end up in his hands anyway, so it's really just a matter of getting him going so we aren't jacking late in the clock. What happened here is that when Harden drove, and Green cheated, he had nowhere to go with the ball late in the clock. Go early, and if you get cut off you work it back out.
Whats available tho? No one wants to touch the anderson contract and we dont have the picks to really get anything of value. Yea it would be nice but realistically this is as good as a team as daryl could have put together. Just a real blow that luc and paul went down the way they did.
Daryl has to find another Kyle Lowry, Goran Dragic. In Euroleague or a bench player not getting a chance
Goran Dragic was the One Guy I wanted to keep but he did not want to stay or Rockets Lowballed him, got Jeremy Lin instead. Dragic, Gordon, Paul, Harden that would've been fun
Dragic has had 30 point games against Stephen Curry. Dragic is super skilled, 3 point shooter, great slasher to the basket, different layups, pump fake on his shots, spin moves, euro step. We might as well trade for Dragic if Miami wants to rebuild.
Rose showed flashes in the playoffs that he still has some game left, but can he be at least average on defense and can he improve his 3pt shot to at least 33-35%? The only other thing that would concern me with Rose is the space between the ears... Assuming that CP3, CC, and Ariza stay and after the obvious targets, LBJ, PG13 - i would go hard at JJ Redick. Highly doubt he comes to Houston tho since he could make more money in Philly and not have to go through GSW to get to the finals.
the only person that matters that would allow hou to actually get to the finals is lebron bc he can actually benefit from the angle of the refs. nobody else makes a difference on who the rockets pick up or not
