he's actually 3.5 out of 5 1. Help Harden on defense a) Get a defensive wing, SF. This means Parson is gone. +1 c) Lin will play off the bench or traded if the right player comes along. +0.5 Lin got traded too bad he has NEGATIVE value 2. Asik will be traded for sure. +1 3. A PF who can defend and shoot the jumper, but it is not easy to get because it will cost money, you know Rox is always tight with money, so Morey won't be in a hurry as Howard can defend the paint well. So we'll see. +1 Morey did go after Bosh
With Ariza on board and his lack of playmaking skill, the probability of 1b) is very high. After all, Rox needs somebody else to be a play maker when Harden is off the court, and there is less demand for Beverley to start as a defensive PG now, so I am going to wait for 1b) Morey definitely hates it when the Lin trade did not bring in Bosh. Lin can serve 3 purposes. Bench score, play making, and expiring contract to trade before next year's deadline. At that time, Rox has paid enough into Lin's 15m salary so that he won't be a negative value. Now Rox needs to look for a playmaker, so 1b) is going to happen with a high probability.
