PG - Duhon /Douglas / Machado SG - Richardson / Lamb SF - Parsons / Turk / White PF - Donuts / Jones / Leuer C - Howard / Smith / Jordan
With all the new moves and rumors, here's a probable lineup I'd love to see: PG "Rolls" Royce White (6'8") SG Mad Chicken (6'9") SF Donuts (7'0") PF Asik (7'+)? C Dwight Howard (7'+)? So many changes, having to redo my predictions! Sorry.
I think it'll look like this (depending on moves made): PG- Brooks/Douglas/Machado SG- Lamb/FA SF- Parsons/World Peace PF- Moteijunas/Asik C- Bynum/Asik 3-Team Trade involving Rockets, Magic, and Lakers HOU trades Martin, Patterson, White, Jones, and TOR pick to ORL; Morris to LAL ORL trades Howard, J. Richardson, Duhon to LAL; Bass trade-exception $ to HOU LAL trades Bynum and World Peace to HOU; Blake to ORL HOU receives Bynum and World Peace (plus $2.1m T.E.) ORL receives Martin, Blake, Patterson, White, Jones 2013 TOR pick LAL receives Howard, J. Richardson, Duhon and Morris Rockets sign Brooks Wishful thinking-- and just glancing at the salaries looks like it'd work out in everyones favor.. Though giving up White, Jones, and Patterson hurts, at least we'll be able to retain Lamb, Parsons, and Motiejunas (which isn't too bad IMO).
I would like to see: PG - Lin SG - Lamb SF - Parsons PF - Jones C - D Mo Play the young guys and let them grow. Cash in on our own probable lottery pick and Toronto's pick next year. We will be on our way. I hope we do not get Howard. Let someone else have his bad attitude and bad back.
My prediction: C - Dwight Howard PF - Donatas Motiejunas SF - Chandler Parsons SG - Jason Richardson PG - Jeremy Lin (gonna go out on a limb here, and boldly say that we're gonna get him from NY and Knicks don't match) or Aaron Brooks (if they do match Lin).
We don't have our own first round pick next year. Just Toronto's and Dallas' (which is top 20 protected)
if we get Asik and Lin: PG: Jeremy Lin SG: Jeremy Lamb SF: Chandler Parsons PF: Donatas Motiejunas C: Omar Asik w/t out Asik and Lin: PG: Toney Douglas SG: Jeremy Lamb SF: Chandler Parsons PF: Donatas Motiejunas C: Patrick Patterson
I predict... PG: Aaron Brooks SG: J. Lamb SF: Chandler PF: PPat C: DMo Basically, Brooks and the Summer League team. NYK will match Lin and after much deliberation, CHI will match Asik with a Boozer amnesty being their cap escape hatch.
I think this as well but I honestly want Motie to play the 4..maybe the Rockets can find a center somewhere I hope
Hopefully PG: Brooks or D.J. SG: Lamb SF: Parsons PF: Motie C: Do not like the Asik offer but need a center of some kind even if he has horrible hands or Ppat Tank 2012!!:grin:
Lin/Douglas/Machado Lamb/J. Richardson (assuming K-Mart traded) Parsons/Hedo/Forbes (assuming Jones & Morris Traded) Motiejunas/Lueur (assuming White & PPat Traded) Dwight/Smith
