    Which is sad considering the Rockets want to jack up a bunch of threes with players that are very streaky and sometimes downright terrible at times.

    We sure do love big men though.

    I mean Morey has to know we need shooters right?

    A point guard who can shoot 3-pointers should be at the top of the shopping list this summer. It would be nice to have a lights-out 3-point shooter at the four, too. Maybe D-Mo's growing into this role. All the talk's about Aldridge (and he'd be a great addition), but I wish Kevin Love was really a possibility. He'd be perfect in this system, with his rebounding, passing and shooting. If we're going to run this system that relies on 3-pointers so much, might as well do it right and maximize it.

    A point that can shoot 3's. How about Seth Curry?? There's you a minimum salary contract and an upgrade to Jason Terry.

    Others??

    Gary Neal is out there. Too many turnovers for my taste though. If you don't like Lin, you won't like Neal.

    Mo Williams wants the Cavs.

    How about C.J. McCollum?? 39% last year, his second season, with a 3pAr approaching 40%. More offensive rebounds and steals than turnovers so he doesn't burn possessions. Great catch-and-shoot guy.

    And Portland is finalizing a massive extension for Lillard.

    Trade for McCollum? 2016 first rounder plus Terrence/Harrell?


    How about C.J. Watson?? 40% last year. Over 38% for his career. 3pAr over 40%. Turnover rate meh...a little higher than ideal. He's a free agent.

    We need PF's and Centers that can shoot free throws, especially in the 4th quarter.
