Depth around the perimeter is pretty impressive. We seem pretty well-rounded. I actually think Chuck Hayes would be a really good addition.
Seriously doubt C Wood makes the team Lawson/Bev/Terry Harden/Thornton/KJ Ariza/Brewer/Dekker DMo/Jones/Harrell Howard/Capela Who too use the MLE on? Chuck Hayes?
PG: Lawson, Beverley SG:Harden, Thornton, KJ SF:Ariza, Brewer, Dekker PF:Motiejunas, Jones, Harrell Cwight, Capela That's 13 players. (also have Christian Wood and probably Williams on non-guaranteed deals likely for RGV rights). So technically 15 assuming Williams gets signed by Houston before another team snatches up his rights. Morey likes to go into training camp with 20 players, but the Rockets coming up close to the hard cap could make that challenging. If I had to predict, I'd say that the Rockets add back Jason Terry, and Chuck Hayes to round out the final 15. Wood and Williams get waived but end up in RGV. Not sure if Morey can add in more training camp bodies especially at the guard spot to get RGV more talent locked up. Again... coming up to the hard cap will be interesting to see if that limits what Morey can do with they remaining SIX potential signings.... yes SIX players could be signed here in the coming weeks for training camp purposes with two players actually being on the final roster. Thank you Denver for this trade. Really liked Paps and Johnson's potential to be a nice combo bench guard, but we really needed to trim some fat going into camp.
Updated the OP to reflect the Lawson trade. Great move by DM. He just continues to pull a rabbit out of a hat! Seems like every summer we add a piece that moves the needle a little bit further to the right. Harden 2012 Howard 2013 Ariza 2014 Lawson 2015 What other fan base has added this type of quality in 4 straight summers?
