The qualifiers to being in Adelman's offense is that you have to be able to score from somewhere on the court and you have to be a willing passer. Wings need to be able to move with or without the ball.
who would you trade Yao for if no business involved? B miller? G oden? ray allen? peja? or josh smith?
Fact is i don´t think Adelman offense is teh best, the offense i like most (i will be bashed here) is the Offense San Antonio played in 2005. They moved the ball well, and they had 3 kinds of set offenses, to end the motion of the ball when that didn´t work. 4 down with Duncan marvelously ejecuted. (with passers as parker and ginobili is quite easy) Screen plays for Ginobili during the last seconds of the clock, and great isolation plays for Parker.
I'd like to see the following play for Adelman's Rockets sometime in the near future: Rudy Fernandez Kirk Hinrich Joakim Noah I think all 3 are "getable" and would be nice fits in the type of player both Adelman & Morey covet. Athletic long high character guys who have both offensive & defensive range (for their respective positions).
Adam Morrison would be awesome in and Adelman offense. But his defense would still suck. The obvious ones are: Kevin Martin Shawn Marion Andre Kirilenko Mike Miller Others that I think would be great that may be acquirable: Mike Dunleavy J.J. Redick Charlie Villanueva Rudy Fernandez Boris Diaw Yi Jianlian Jamal Crawford Caron Butler
I want the next Kyle Lowry. Some scrub buried on another team's bench that is actually really good, it's just that his team sucks too much to give him any playing time. My guesses? Tyrus Thomas (although he is getting PT, he's being misused IMO) Julian Wright Cedric Simmons Shelden Williams Craig Smith Mardy Collins Ryan Anderson Marreese Speights Javaris Crittendon Randolph Morris Acie Law Darko 99! In actuality? They probably all remain scrubs and deserve the minutes they aren't getting. This is why Morey is the GM. Go sic' em Morey!!!
LOL @ people suggesting Josh Smith!! He has horrid shot selection, the bball IQ of Stomile Swift with the athleticism to match however. Would be an awful fit IMO.
What!?! Craig Smith? (Too slow, too short) Mardy Collins? (Can't shoot) Acie Law? (Can't shoot) Shelden Williams? (Can't do anything but pick up fouls) Cedric Simmons? (How can you tell what skills that kid has?) Ryan Anderson? (Who the heck is he?) Randolph Morris? (Another undersized PF?) Just goes to show you how different we see the game. Geez.
