    Just asking which player would be better for these Rox -- NOT suggesting any trade:

    If Spree's agent brokered a deal for DW, for the exact same contract -- which player would be better for these Rox?

    If Songalia's agent brokered a deal for BS, for the exact same contract --
    which player would be better for these Rox?

    If Knicks - Rox swapped Rose for JuHo --
    which player would be better for these Rox?

    If Celtss - Rox swapped Blount for JuHo --
    which player would be better for these Rox?

    spree would probably be a better player on the floor for us but locker room wise...wesley hands down. spree just isn't worth the headaches anymore.

    i like bob sura over songalia. songalia is good but swift is better in the block defensively and rebounding wise. we need a solid guard who can give us 20+ minutes a night. not a backup PF that probably wouldn't beat out howard if he was still on the squad.


    i like howard better than malik rose because we already have what rose does well with swift potentially. swift doesn't have a good midrange shot but howard does and could come off the bench and be very productive will rose wouldn't provide any offense off the bench at the 4.

    Blount plays center but could move over to the 4 but like rose he doesn't provide offense, especially from 15 ft. i like howard and mcgrady running pick and rolls and howard spotting up shooting jumpers. that's excellent offense coming off the bench.

    so pretty much what we have now is better because they still don't provide the needs that we have.

    No argument. However, please note: Howard was a disappointment splitting time last year with MoT, but did fine when he had expanded minutes.

    That's largely because he has the same strengths/weaknesses as Taylor. Swift brings a different skillset, and Howard should be a better contrast off the bench.

    Can he thrive with 10-15 minutes? I'm dubious, but either hope I'm wrong or see him turned into a solid trading chip.

    Still, just for the sake of discussion, which of these guys is better than others FOR THIS ROSTER?
