You misremembered... I did like Brooks more as a starter, but didn't dislike Lowry.....liked him too just at that time I thought we needed Brooks 3pt shooting, and speed. Is a great guy - and a savvy Rockets fan. And HEY Smeggy! DD
Plus Brooks was a stud before his injuries! He was lightening quick and could shoot. That injury was worse than anyone but Morey, Brooks, and his physicians knew. I think deals like the ones Morey pulled when he traded Tmac and Brooks burnt quite a few bridges.
How about Russell Westbrook and 2 firsts for Chris Webber? Hear me out... Webbers knees may be shot, but he's getting better and better with his in game breakdown. He could provide that veteran presence we need to take it to the next level. He hasn't been clutch in the past, but he's never been with a player like Harden. Peja Stojakovic ain't got **** on James. He clearly loves James Harden. Just listen to this clip below: That's crazy! I think the team chemistry would be off the chain! Plus, he would mesh well with Ackerman and Bull. @DaDakota thoughts?
We know the promise land called clutch city The most important part is that we need to have clutch players
Why trade one headache for a bigger headache? I rather trade up or equally, than to trade down with bigger problems. JMO
My GAWD with Boogie this makes even MORE sense. If all the guys with injuries come back healthy we have a big 3, with Griffin, Harden and Boogie.... Just add ball and instant contender. DD
If our players are all healthy, this might be one of the best lineup. We have not maximized the full potential of Brodie without any injury. I think Rockets’ strategy is to go all in this season.
Let's still get Blake Griffin! Eric, PJ, House, picks, swaps etc. Go for broke. We have got lot's of young athletic, untested or back bench vet players to fill the rest of the roster and the best way to see if they can actually cut it is to give them lots's of playing time in the Big League. Harden and Woods can be everyday players. If we get lucky with health, Griffin, Demarcus, Wall, Harden!! Plus Woods. Four All Stars beats two or three. Load manage the hell out of the Demarcus, Wall and Griffin. All four all stars can shoot, pass. rebound. Two or three all stars for regular season games, depending on the strength of the opponent. No back to backs for the fragile or maybe even James or Woods. On some of the tougher or the very easy games just let James try to score 50, to get his fourth straight scoring title, and if it is close, put in some of the load managed for the fourth quarter. We will be a nightmare to scout for as you never know what the lineup will be. Four multiple year All Stars for the playoffs. Eighth seed is good enough. Beat up on old man Lebron and skinny Davis or whichever team can't avoid us in the first round.
