Preferred the Roster Before or After Trade Deadline - IF YOU Wanted More Playoffs Wins?

Simply, would you have rather kept the team intact that started the season pre-All Star/trade deadline, and NOT made moves for the purpose of getting more postseason success?

Its not to say that YOU MISSED players, its if you thought WINNING a little MORE woulda been better, and doing with the players that were dealt away? (Win now)

Or, are you okay with how things went? (Future and some "now").

Post-Deadline Benefits:

- Francisco Garcia was obviously a key player in postseason.

- Sending out Patrick Patterson + Marcus Morris opened up time for development of other players in an already CROWDED position, like Terrence Jones and Greg Smith.

- Patrick Beverley earned his spot on the team, so Toney Douglas who already was "expiring contract waiting to happen" was a bit of excess.

- It was nice seeing Aaron Brooks again on the Rockets competing against foe Derek Fisher.

Hindsight:

- Patterson + Morris was probably too many steady hands sent out at an already weak position. Donatas Motiejunas and Thomas Robinson simply didnt become dependable players. T-Jones had moments but not enough experience. Carlos Delfino at power forward is all that needs to be said there.

- Having Toney Douglas would have PROBABLY been no need for having Brooks. Douglas was the Patrick Beverley before Beverley. Probably a better matchup against Reggie Jackson. More importantly would have played all year and had coach's trust more than Brooks.

- Forgotten man, Cole Aldrich. Rockets were SUPER VULNERABLE on defense every time Omer Asik stepped off the floor. Along with not having a dependable power forward was NO BACKUP CENTER. Aldrich is not a good player barely serviceable, but woulda probably gave A LITTLE something MORE than Greg Smith who might have been the weakest link of anyone.

- Continuity of the roster start to finish MAYBE woulda resulted in having: a higher seed up maybe weaker opponent, an always exciting Game 7 against OKC, or possibly even WINNING the first round?


Or are things good as they happened, no real complaints about the roster adjustments? And onto the next season on a relative high note?
