Who do you guys think would be an attainable elite defender via trade for our team? i think it's an urgent need..
120 points. Offense clearly is not a problem. I'm sitting here wondering why Brewer didn't see the light of day to even try and trouble Monta in the second half. Why is he even on this roster if he won't be used for what he's best at?
Im all for Shumpart. I watched a little bit of the Knicks vs Pacers game and he played some solid defense. I just had a feeling Morey had something up his sleeve. I think he will shock us all with a player we are not even talking about....

I hope it will be one of the following... Iman Shumpert; Tony Wroten; Jeff Taylor; Wilson Chandler; Terrence Ross or Luc Mbah a Moute.
We all know that Haren is poo poo and garbage and a total negative on D. Most opposing 2 guards light him up. Why doesn't coach see that and play Brewer situational minutes and throw him at the opposition hottest wing player.
Well you are weak at basically every perimeter spot at D. Patrick Beverly is frisky on defense, but he's not special. With that said, despite what Sampson said, good coaches find ways to scheme to make their defense better. We seem to be poorly coached on defense. Dwight can't really protect the paint the way he wants to because you have guards just blurring by their man off screens while Dwight is covering someone else. Defending the paint for the Rockets is like being a lone soldier holding a post against a never ending onslaught of bullets.
And play Parsons at PF? I like this ideia, we desperately need the our outside defenders play better defense, he play ridiculous defense in 4th quarter
We could bring Courtney Lee back for a song. I'd welcome him into the fold, and we wouldn't have to move Asik for that.
Shumpert $1,700,000 2013-2014 $2,600,000 2014-2015 Lee $5,500,000 2013-2014 $5,600,000 2014-2015 $,600,000 2015-2016
EDIT Shumpert $1,700,000 2013-2014 $2,600,000 2014-2015 Lee $5,500,000 2013-2014 $5,600,000 2014-2015 $5,600,000 2015-2016 Lee contract can take you out the FA race of love and LMA, and he's not a better defender than Shumpert, Shumpert guards 1-3 lebron, rose, paul george, wade, and can knock down shots and get to the rim
Let's say we get shump. Would he start? If he did who would get moved to the bench? I guess the obvious answer would be TJones but If he continues to play well consistently I'd hate to see him lose his starting spot just because harden doesn't defend well. Then again the first quarter hasn't been a problem so as long as we have a solid perimeter defender on the floor with bev in the fourth I'd be happy.
