My 2009 offseason plan 

Post#1 » by jackiespam » Wed Apr 1, 2009 5:04 am

houston in their roster reallly doesnt have a traditional starting 2 guard on their roster. battier and artest are small forwards and tmac's carreer is 99 percent done with houston. wafer is nice but on a championship team he is a bench player, barry is too old to start and is a defensive liabiltity on the court. battier doesnt bring much offense other than shooting threes. they have a mid exception between 5 to 6 million dollars to sign a starting quality two guard. my plan is to offer that to marques daniels of indiana pacers he is free agent in 09, hes perfect for that motion offense that rick likes to run and a more offensive mind and offensive talent than battier. if signed they can move battier to da bench or make him expandable and trade for expiring.

I think we could find a nice 2 guard in the draft.

Oh wait....nevermind.

Adelman's offense is not your Average Joe's offense. It requires high basketball IQ, good ball movement, and selfless play. Marquis Daniels displays none of those traits. Other than his ability to slash through the paint, he doesn't stretch the floor and is a terrible shooter shooting at 36% eFG. Assuming we resign Artest, I think Daniels and Artest would spell disaster on this team.

Our record indicates that Battier and Artest are sufficient at the SF and SG spots. With a better PG play and depth on the bench, we'll be a very good team. I would rather see us address these issues rather than downgrade the roster with someone like Daniels.

I think we have a winner.

O'Brien runs the same style offense as we do, does he not?

Anyways, I'd be more concerned about him staying healthy, because well, we don't really need another player who can't stay healthy and can't shoot/spread the floor.










Also Santana is evil and will lead the Mets to a last place season. Muahaha.
We watched the tragedy unfold. We did as we were told, we bought and sold. It was the greatest show on Earth...but then it was over.

As long as Ron is gone and we get some good return on it, I'm happy :)

you think if we get to the 2nd round we will sign Artest and try and trade TMAC? Or Tmac will just not play with us at all next year and we just let him walk and artest will just go somewhere else?

I think they are somewhat different. O'Brien likes the 3-point shot and prefers his team to get the ball past halfcourt in 3 seconds. His team runs the fastbreak very well. In a half-court set, O'Brien loves to run the off-ball-high-pick-and-roll to free up their shooters at the top of the key.

BTW, I know you're a closet Mets fan! Time to fess up!

We'd probably just sign someone out of Leavenworth instead of Marquis Daniels.

We get Brad Newley in from Greece, now there's a plan.

(Hey, I can dream can't I? I just want an Aussie in Houston.) Our league, the NBL is now defunct. There are plenty of quality starting calibre SG's in Australia. Tell Morey to get his sorry butt on a plane here to check out some players. Though it might be a bit hard, as the league doesn't exist anymore.

Australia, we have a problem.
