the more i think about it, if push comes to shove they'll do it. i can't imagine morey would let resigning parsons get in the way of getting a 3rd star. i'm really worrying about how we handle his deal.
man. just think if lin and asik were expiring this year. 16 million extra cap space, plus the extra 5 from next year. 21 million could get us 3 solid pieces.

Watching that Lillard replay again, TJones seriously served no purpose on that play :x . He didn't attempting to distract on the inbound pass, nor did he try to go over to contest Lillard's shot, and he really had a chance to. A double contest was right there in play. Jesus Christ.

I think Rondo would fit great here
He would get Howard a ton more easy looks along with Harden and the rest of the team.
The countless number of times that Howard has been open under the rim for either an ally or just a dunk is
This happened soooo many times throughout the season and even in the playoffs
and what did Lin or Harden do? just keep dribbling around doin nothing smh
Those are EASY buckets
Problem I still see is im hoping if a deal does come up we can keep Parsons if not who will replace him
We are still lacking perimeter defenders im trusting Morey can find some good role players
We need blue collar guys that are gonna give it there all every time they step on the court like bev
Im looking at guys like Draymond Green, Dejuan Blair, PJ Tucker.. We need players like that on our team to fill in the bench
I still like Garcia and wouldnt mind him sticking around, Daniels should have a roster spot locked up, I want no part of Casspi on the team, I think Jham is a FA so let em walk, Covington could actually be moved up and have consistent mins if he plays well
We get a few more guys on minimum deals and we are pretty good
Sidenote watching PPat play reminded me of how much we could have really used him this season and in the playoffs
Hes that stretch four that can also get down in the paint and rebound some not that bad of a defender either.
If we keep TJones he needs to live in that weight room this offseason
Boys was getting bodied wayyyy to many times smh

I've seen people bring up PPatt/TJones talk multiple times, but really, if PPatt was still here, I don't think there would've been any difference. They're basically the same player with subtle differences. PPatt can shoot FTs better and has somewhat of a better post game, and TJones is more athletic and I feel has way more upside. PPatt will pretty much be what he is now for the rest of his career. TJones could still improve hugely, whether he's in a Rockets uni or not. They even have the same type of attitude as far as being mellow even keel dudes (besides TJ stompin)

I disagree with ya peep about them being pretty much the same
1st off PPat has actual bball IQ while TJones more times than not is just outta there
all the little things like boxing out or switching on d or setting solid picks.. TJones is pretty bad at that while PPat at least is in the game
yea ppat can shoot better a the FT line and does have a nice little post up game but he can also shoot the 3 ball consistently..
Thats pretty much the biggest thing between them. Thats why i brought him up because he would of imo helped out tremendously in the playoffs with the ability to shoot consistently from 3. Not to mention I doubt he wouldve got handled as bad as TJones by LMA not saying he woulda shut em down but he wouldve at least made em work some.
Yea this is pretty much PPat ceiling but its not bad at all lol. Hes a blu collar guy that gonna come in and work everytime. A solid bench player
TJones definitely has higher upside he just has to keep working.
Get in that weight room, improve his technique on defense along with boxing out, and add some post moves hell be good
If he can consistently start hitting the 3 thats always a plus too

I don't mind Rondo, but again you can't force things to fit. I think team chemistry is really underrated, granted you need great players, chemistry, etc. to win a championship. I just don't know if Harden would be down with not having the ball as much and how upset he would be about it, this isn't 2K. I've always said I want someone who is a knockdown shooter next to harden and who can play decent defense ( fisher in his prime).
- you need to upgrade the bench, find a 3/2 that can play defense
- get an assistant coach who can coach the hell out of defense
- find someone else at the 4/5. Can the Rockets for once get a 4 with some length? I don't think D-Mo is the guy because he just isn't consistent enough
My dream scenario would be to somehow get Kevin Love out here, again you run into the making it all fit problem. Although the defense on this team wouldn't be any better with him at the 4.
I'm still just so dissapointed that they didn't make it out of the first round.

i want no parts of jeff green
dude is just too inconsistent.if we did get him, he'd be a nice SF that can defend but that price tag is so damn high :x
we still would be far below average at the 4 spot, and have no backup depth at center.
greg monroe and eric bledsoe are FAs this year
imagine adding those 2 and having a starting 5 ofbeverly
harden
parsons
monroe
howard
with bledsoe coming off the bench.

Those videos further go along with the notion that the players like McHale. He was probably safe the whole time.
Still sucks the way the season ended but I hope they practice why they preach in terms of buying in terms of everyone being on the same page & being focused going into next season.

I wonder what we do about hiring assistants to surround McHale. The defense got much worse when Sampson left

ill believe Harden when he actually does it. Im talkin bout the part where he saying he needs to get better on d...
Lets not forget that at the beginning of the season he was talking about how he was gonna guard the #1 option of the other team and how he wanted that challenge and ****
How did that work out smh

This team will win 55+ just off talent, Unless we have a lakers type season, McHale will only lose his job in the playoffs. I just don't want to waste another season by being out coached in the playoffs.

Gon be an interesting off season
hopefully we can land a big name

- 79,402
at the thought of us possibly going after Dirk. Not saying he woundnt benefit, but come on, he IS the Mavericks, Cuban wouldn't let him go, and he could spend money more wisely somewhere else. I actually forgot about Bosh, but I just don't see him opting out unless he truly wants to be sort of a stand alone guy. Other than that, he really doesn't have a reason to opt out, thought if the Heat lose, that could possibly benefit us. Not sure though.

i think bosh is the one guy that definitely wouldn't opt out, because he might not get another max deal. he did improve toward the end of the season though so i might just be making that up.
can someone summarize those exit interview videos? i honestly just don't have the heart to watch them as much as i want to.

^So far I just watched the Lin and Parsons ones. Pretty much they were just going over the season and talking about what they would have done different and what they expect for next year. They were also asked what they'd be doing right now (whether watching the playoffs, etc.) and random stuff like that. I'll watch Dwight and Harden's tomorrow, and I'll post Daniels, Bev, Jones, and DMo's tomorrow unless somebody beats me to it. Parsons vid gave me the feels just cause he was asked about Lillard's shot.
