    Garcia, Delfino or Hamilton. We have TJ, DMo or Anderson/Smith in the front court.

    Neither SA or MIA had arguably the best big man AND top 3 sg in the league on their teams. There's a big difference between us and them. Each team has different needs but I don't think ours is a 3-pt shooter as a starter.

    As others have stated. I think we can find plenty of 3pt shooting role players. Just my opinion.

    Well, his 3 pt% is more Josh Smith right now... Not that he can't get better, but work to do.

    Wouldn't mind having Garcia back (at a cheaper contract, of course). With such a young team and an immature Howard, Garcia should be able to contribute both on the court & in the locker room.

    As crazy as it sounds that is kind of what I was thinking. JLin did nothing but get better and better from behind the arc all of last season. I think he could turn into a 38% or better 3pt shooter.

    3pt shooters can be had. Filling the hole at PF is the real concern.

    Man, it's not just about shooting 3's - it's 3 and D players. Forget Novak. I like Francisco Garcia.

    a 3pt shooter off the bench is A MISSING PIECE, but not THE MISSING PIECE. we still need someone who can defend the 2/3 off the bench, a backup center and starting 4.

    Hopefully Garcia is there and will take the pay cut. I liked his game. Trade Asik for a starting PF. Fill in the backup spots with vet mins wanting to play for the Rockets and get a little burn.
