White is definitely a PF, though would I be wrong in saying that's more defensively, than offensively? I mean on O, surrounded by some shooters -- guys like Scola and Motie can stretch the floor a bit, then he could be a matchup problem for certain stretches/lineups during the game w/ his ball handing and post play alone.

And oh god, our current state of the roster is basically Patterson at the 5. I almost lost my mind w/ that Scola and Patterson frontcourt that we closed with so often.

If Gordon signs with PHX, that has to help our chances of retaining Gogi

I kind of like some of the gambles Morey is taking, even if NY and CHI match offers they are left with some potentially dangerous contracts in 3 years. If they dont then we may be on the hook for them. Amnesty provision at worst case, I guess.

The goal is to create have an innovative roster with a small frontcourt and a big backcourt. Basically you get rid of all PGs and Cs and create all sorts of mismatches - especially by blending in those undersized PFs at various positions. It's a revelation, folks.

We're gonna be a terror in this league.

i had pretty much moved forward with no howard, but after seeing lowry's deal with the raps, i think the rockets are interested in howard again...we are piling up picks with our young players galore and we still have more picks coming if we can get something for martin and scola...this must be some master plan by morey to accumulate as many picks to finally make the last offer for D12 to Orlando. I don't see them accumulating all these picks/players for some 5 yr plan. I believe Morey is doing this to get Howard and also surround him with 2nd tier borderline star type of players...even if we give up alot for Howard, we still should have enough to get some good players to play with him. Josh Smith is one, but we can look for others too. This has to be Morey's plan cause he keeps wanting picks galore. I believe we will surround Howard with some 2nd tier borderline star(s) and some of our young guys like Parsons or Patterson.

The Rockets have to hurry and present their offer to the Magic soon cuz the Nets are trying to find takers for Humphries and seeing if Lopez is willing to do S&T or something...We have to beat the Nets to the punch!
