    Where did you get that from? I want Harden to be a finisher, which he is very good at. Harden will still get plenty of opportunities to handle the ball.

    The board has gone into meltdown. Only a few like you seem to be talking sense.

    Wow my bad, that's a shocker for me, for some reason I thought he was a good finisher, my bad guys. Still love Rubio though.

    What's so frustrating is that if he just converted 55-60% of his shots at the rim like an average starting PG, he'd basically be Jason Kidd.

    I'd still take him for almost any of the assets we currently have left to offer.

    The rockets need to acquire Goran Dragic and then sign him to an extension at $15 million a year just to shove it in Parsons face. During the press conference re-introducing Goran, Morey can announce to the basketball world that "the rockets found their 3rd star".

    All kidding aside, the addition of Goran Dragic would be awesome. That guy went balls-to-the-wall when he was playing for us. He brought a lot of energy and excitement to a franchise that was down after the tmac / yao days came to a sudden end. Not to mention he averaged 20.3ppg and 5.9 apg last season :eek:.

    Maybe we're getting a PG through this? Will Bynum?

    Definitely not. Neither team has anything we'd want. Bynum wouldn't even really be an upgrade on Canaan/Johnson for the backup point.

    Worst defensive backcourt in NBA history.

    Kyle Singler could play behind Ariza. Jerebko could help.

    As for Sacremento if they got Smith, they would be overloaded at the 4.

    Smith, Dwilliams. I wouldn't mind getting Jason Thompson somehow as a Backup 4-5

    My guess, if true, has to be one of these guys

    Lawson
    Rubio
    Rondo
    Deron

    All the other above average point guards aren't going anywhere.

    Why would Denver even consider getting rid of Ty Lawson?

    They could decide to blow it up and tank. There stuck in mediocrity right now, they either have to swing a trade for another star, or tank and try to draft one. Doubtful it happens though, Denver is too young and talented to blow it up. Wouldn't be shocked if they did though.

    I strongly doubt we could land Lawson, but I'd love to be proven wrong. Consistently underrated (like Conley), but would push us into serious contention.

    They gave up their rookie 1st rounder Fournier for Afflalo only a month ago. Fournier was looking good last year.

    Affalo is better than that rookie. Way better. You make that trade 10/10 times. Nuggets might make the postseason this year
