    I would be interested in Al-Farouq Aminu as a project if he doesn't ask for too much. The guy rebounds at an excellent rate considering his size and position. If he can refine his 3-pt shot, he may be a suitable guy to develop off the bench.

    Aminu has no basketball iq. He's just an athlete. No thank you.

    One point I want to make. If you are ok with paying Ryan Anderson $25.3 million over the next 3 years, then you should be very ok with paying Paul Millsap $30 million over the next 3 years.

    Did not bother to check tax, but,
    Get Sergio Llull over.
    Sign Splitter to the back loaded max, ala Lin/Asik.
    Sign Tony Allen and Reddick, trade any combination of Lin, Delfino and Garcia to make room.
    Hope either Love or Lamarcus Aldridge become available.

    Looking at the team outlook, Iguadala will be the best fit, he is just a long term big contract sidekick.

    Nah, we ACTUALLY saw he can have nights where he looked like a scorer, but at times and chucked the ball up. His defense was good. Why not make him a second unit guy? Probably too expensive

    I really like this line-up with tony allen and kyle korver coming off the bench, but no Bynum please. To much of a risk with his injury.

    BRANDAN WRIGHT!

    Long, athletic, shot blocker, soft touch, young, underrated, forgotten about, ready to break out, can be had for relatively cheap IMO, ready to take on a bigger role. He only got 18mpg put he put up more than solid numbers during his time. He's the typical under the radar guy I could see Morey going after. Now I know a lot of people automatically assume McHale can turn any PF into a stud with his coaching ala Greg Smith or Trob for example which just isn't fair or true but I think he can really help Wright take his game to the next level considering he's on the verge of breaking out regardless. He's better than anything we have at the 4 spot currently and he can fill minutes at the 5 spot to spell Asik and since he can run the floor he's perfect for when we go small.

    I ran across this pic of him. Look how small he looks next to Iggy's huge arms.

    getting iguodala would be huge but it would displace either parsons or harden which screws up everything built this year. millsap would be the most perfect fit, sliding right into the PF spot and having everything that the Rockets lack. Millsap gets a ton of steals even at the PF position and his post work is excellent as well.

    A rotation of Asik, Millsap, Parsons, Harden, Lin, Beverley, TJones, GSmith, Delfino would be very strong.

    Adding Iguodala to the mix if he or Parsons would be ok coming off the bench would be even better.

    As much as I hate it, I think Korver may be 1 of those under the radar Morey moves

    If not Paul or Howard, Morey will not do anything;
    Maybe, He will sign one or two players one year contract such as last year's Delfilo

    He's also a really good defender. I think there's still a lot of upside there. Pretty surprised New Orleans didn't pick up his team option...which certainly says something. Still, he certainly doesn't fill a need for us, and we already have so many young "project" players.

    I like the branden wright idea. Per 36 min he averages 17/8 with 2.5 blocks while shooting 60% from the field

    If couldn't get Paul or Howard, Morey will not consider any other free agents;
    Maybe, we will sign one sg/sf one year contract like last year's Delfilo;
    Waiting for LJ next year!!!

    Trade for Anderson.

    What about Gerald Henderson as a sixth man and backup for Harden? Assuming the Bobcats draft McLemore, he's going to be out a starting job and the Bobcats might not match an offer for him,
