Why do you assume that every player the Rockets get back will be in the rotation? If they Iggy/Butler and crap, Adelman isn't going to play the garbage. He'll add Iggy to the rotation. There's still enough play time for Battier, Ariza, Budinger, and Iggy.
If it's Dalembert or Haywood, Im sure we'd consider using their shot-blocking and size which is our one of our main weaknesses. So that would be 2 guys added to the rotation that is already 9-10 deep.
You only listed 8 players though. What if I want to vote for the last 9th and 10th guy in the rotation to be eliminated from the rotation and to keep all 8 guys in the poll?
Let me break it down. 1 Lowry 2 Brooks 3 Scola 4 Battier 5 Ariza 6 Landry 7 Budinger 8 Hayes Bring in Iggy and Dalembert, eliminate the Rocket's existing 9th and 10th guy. You are all set. You have room right there.
Do you think teams are asking for those players? I don't think teams are interested in Anderson,Dorsey or taylor.
The Rockets would do. Those type of players are expensive and/or difficult to pry away from other teams.
If they are asking for salary cap relief, then McGrady, Cook and Dorsey are where they will find it. Taylor and Andersen are cheap salaries that can be used to make trades work and will be off the books next year.
