I say we renounce Jones. Keep Terry and Smith to vet's min depending on who we get from FA. Definitely trade Brewer, KJ McDaniels for sure. Ariza, Beverley, Harrell and Goudelock are all expendable, again depending on the situation.

Beasley is still dumb as a brick and doesn't know how to pass, but I'd like to give see him get another opportunity. Obviously keep Harden, Capela, Dekker and see if we can resign Motiejunas for a bargain.

I'd like to see us grab ~2 shooters like Teletovic and Dudley... maybe Fournier, if he wants to play backup - though probably unlikely. We need better shooters period.

I'm still wondering what we are going to do at the point. Many teams will go after Conley, and I'm wondering if we should jump into that race. He's a guy, coming out of the draft was really more of run and gun type of player that was unfortunately forced to adapt to a half-court system for most of his career. After struggling many years, I think he's also capable of playing `consistently in a half-court set, which we won't run but nevertheless, still makes him desirable player to have.

Lastly our biggest void will be the PF/C spot. Do we roll the dice with Capela and let him loose? Or do we play safe and pay to go after someone like Horford or Whiteside?

I agree with this for the most part but don't care much for Smith and terry. Just let them go and Smith in the Pringles system is going to make me destroy my tv. If we somehow manage to shed all of KJ, Bev, Brewer and maybe Ariza we better be getting Conley and Horford. I'd still like to keep Ariza and bev but it's whatever. KJ and Brewer are expendable. I really want Hoford who'd kill it in this system and Anderson but I just think Televoic will be a lot cheaper option so chase him hard. Dudley would also be a good get. But I just think we will end up with Whiteside whom I really don't want since he always injured and missing games. Backup plan for the PG should be Lin.

Lol....so you think Lin would want to come to Houston where he was treated so well by the fans there.....to be a back up....hey maybe he will do this for 2 million a year.....so he has the opportunity to play with Harden again? Right

As long as Lin is in a position where he can thrive as a player, I don't think he cares how he was treated by any NBA fans. Dude plays an important role in Charlotte, so I think he's pretty content playing for the Hornets. In other words, the perspectives of the league matter more than those of his fans or haters. So unless you are his personal agent, no need to get so worked up, on behalf of Lin, every time you see his name on this forum.

[texasholdem]

I think Lin wants to be a starter. He has a better chance of being that here in Houston with MDA than in Charlotte.

I know we aren't supposed to talk about KD dreams here but he went to Arizona to hang out with James Harden today, they were seen at dinner and currently at a club

And he was in LA a few days before. Well actually he owns a home in LA.

I'm pretty sure like 75% of players have LA homes lol I'm glad Harden is in Arizona though, out of the big city and apparently he's been working out already at ASU

I'm just happy that he's working out with KD as opposed to hanging out with the Kardashians.

Hoping that the All-NBA snub lights a huge fire under his butt.

[Worm122]

Horford, Noah, Conley, Batum, Whiteside, Barnes and Donatas Motiejunas.

[inquisitive]

i agree about getting high iq players.....morey has his work cut out for him this summer especially finding a way to get rid of brew....if only we had not made the playoffs...that 1st rd pick would've been attached to brew's body right now. Also, see what we can get for Bev, renounce Jones, and tell Terry to do his radio show FULL time.

I like Jeremy Lin, but I don't want his fans back here. They're annoying, insecure girls masquerading as basketball loving men who complain about any perceived slight.

Every new situation for Jeremy is the ideal one. They wanted him in LA more than anything because he'd blossom there and become a superstar. Then he was going to turn the lowly Hornets around by becoming the all-star he truly is. By mid season, every new team sucks and isn't using him properly, and the team's fans have to put up with hell.

[jwise44]

I would kill to get Conley liked him since Ohio state, but I doubt that happens

I really am liking the idea of Lin back now as long as people like baki dont come back with him

Center will be a problem as soon as dwights gone though. Wish we could land horford and Lin (preferably Conley)

I have not paid attention to cap


What would it take and who all do we have to shed to land horford or whiteside (both maxes I'm guessing) and Conley (max? Almost max?) or lin (much less than max but still decent contract)


For the record I am assuming none of this happens

We can have two full maxes by trading one of Brewer or Ariza. I think Brewer will be easier to move than people think. He's one year removed from getting 6th moy votes in a declining contract that is a little bit of an overpay when there are going to be like five teams below the salary floor. I think a good second, like one of ours this year could get it done

Lin is a free agent after opting out.

Be on the lookout for him at Arizona chicken & waffle joints with the Beard & KD.
