    Trade Robinson for Gortat.

    Asik
    Gortat
    Parsons
    Harden
    Lin

    That's a 50-win team easy.

    That's too many non black players lol we are trying to win a championship you know how it is... we need athleticism did miami heat beating san antonio teach us anything? Lets make a team that looks like the team we had in 94 and 95.

    I do not like the FA class after DH12 and CP3. Rox should go for trades if they miss on the top 2.

    Yeah, that the Heat are beatable and an aging Spurs core came very close to toppling them, and essentially gave it away in Game 6. Very close series.

    These are my free agency Plan B moves...


    Can't believe how many of you devalue David West. He has been willing to sign 2 year contracts at fair price

    Vet, lights-out shooter, rebounder, defender, leader, toughness.

    Paul Milsap's game is nice, but he is looking to get paid. He fits our need a the PF spot, but I don't think he's as good defensively.

    If none of those guys pan out, I'm a big fan of JJ Hixon. He had a good year in Portland. Can score, rebound and has good handles for a big. We don't necessarily need so many "big names" if Dwight signs with us.

    We don't have a power forward that can shoot the ball (Well, maybe T. Jones from limited playing time) and that's definitely a need.

    I like Jeremy Lin, but I feel like we should consider an upgrade at the point guard position if it's available.

    Unfortunately, we'd risk chemistry and team revenue. That's a tough one. There are so many guards out there that are more efficient and cheaper than Jeremy, but they don't bring the attention that he does.

    Yes, we got James Harden, but we did Kyle Lowry dirty:mad: and he hasn't been the same. Klow with Harden/Parsons is much deadlier than the current roster.

    I still want Morey to take a look at CJ Watson at point. Completely underrated....we know how Morey makes these types of players perform at higher levels.


    My final "wild card" in free agency: Shannon Brown. Dumb ass Lindsey Hunter had him rotting on the PHX bench. The guy is a pure athlete, shooter and would fit in well with an uptempo Rockets offense. He won't demand a ton of money based on what a crappy year he had.
