    Absolutely. That would be a great lineup! I'd rather get someone with a little more left in the legs that O'Neal if possible, but it would all depend on price. I'd also love Anderson's dead-eye shooting, but if we could move some picks and a few more pieces to get a Cousins/Love type PF, then that might be ideal. Anderson is probably the more realistic option, though. The idea of a Omer Aisk/Anthony Davis front line would be really attractive to NO I bet. Great match for defensive dominance.

    Make Sense
    Ryan Anderson would be great for this TEAM.
    We might be top4 team in the west ...
    but still will lose to OKC/Miami/Spurs

    While I'm not the biggest fan of getting Dwight, I really like this line-up.

    Actually on second thought, I love the idea of Ryan Anderson pulling an Ibaka type player out of the paint to open up some driving lanes for Harden/Parsons/Lin.

    I'll take Josh Smith over anyone. He makes us better but not a championship team. I would love for the Rockets to after Chris Paul, but that guy is not going any where. I'll take Dwight Howard too, but he isn't going any where neither. Josh Smith over the other free agents. No way he would want to return to Atlanta, unless Atlanta adds another superstar. Very unlikely, though. #JOSH SMITH TO HOUSTON :grin:

    I feel like Josh Smith is going to be too expensive, if we don't get Dwight that is.
    J.J. Hickson should come cheap. He's not a bad player to fill the 4 spot.

    But adding JJ Hickson would still make us a first round exit. We need an all star/borderline all star PF.

    Honestly, I'm still thinking Josh Smith. Our weakest position is the PF spot and we need a good offensive player that teams can't slack on defense with.

    Tiago is a good player, but guys don't just leave San Antonio. They'll resign him with ease I'd bet.

    Sign Dwight and then sign and trade Omer for Josh Smith.

    Lin/Beverley
    Harden
    Parsons/Del3no
    Smith/Jones
    Dwight/Smith

    I don't think we have the cap room for that. We'd have to move some more pieces.

    I'm pretty sure we do...depending on how much we get Josh Smith for...we definitely won't / shouldn't give him the max.

    If we still don't have enough cap room for that then I'd be more than happy to get rid of Lin for it to work.

    Yep. I'm with you on this one. We can do this.
    Aren't D12 and JSmoove best buds? Creepily like how Miami came together.
