Prioritizing the big men

[pad300]

Prioritize Houston's big men.
By my count you have 11 big men (and lets not forget you have an offer to Asik).

Smith
Motiejunas
Leuer
Brockman
Scola
Patterson
White
Jones
Aldemir
Jerome Jordan
Josh Harrellson

Obviously, some of these are trade bait. Can you prioritize who your franchise values the most? Please take into account contracts and potential, as well as current play. I am a Spurs fan trying to figure out who's available for trades.

[rocketseagles07]

Just my guess:

Motiejunas
White
Scola=Patterson
Jones
Leuer
Brockman
Aldemir
Smith
Josh Harrellson
Jerome Jordan

[jwise44]

Personally (not counting Asik since he's getting matched) I want to keep in order

Motie
White
Jones
Pat pat
Harrellson(closest thing we have to a center and just a personal favorite)
Jordan
Leuer

I want to trade Scola for picks and/or youngins


Wouldn't mind Jordan and one of jones or white in the d-league and roll with this front court during this tank-fest...guaranteed 20 win team haha

Harrellson/d-mo/jordan(nbdl)
Pat pat/d-mo/white/jones(nbdl)
Parsons/Morris/white

God that looks beyond terrible hahaha I want a center, but I would rather spend that money on bayless

[Guy986]

imo

Motiejunas
White
Patterson
Jones
Leuer
Scola

Then everybody else are fillers/cut

[x-]

Would like to keep:
Motiejunas
White

Yours for the right price:
Patterson
T. Jones

Will be shopped:
Leuer
Scola

Please take him:
Brockman

With regards to Greg Smith, Harrellson and Jordan, whom I all consider centers, I think Smith and Harrellson might make the team. Jordan will probably get cut or traded. Maybe Harrellson, too. Aldemir we'll keep in Europe for a couple of years.

pretty much agree with x-

Scola is probably the most expendable if we don’t get Dwight and look towards rebuilding.

We’re not giving up White or Motiejunas unless we get a deal that blows us away.

Here are the deals I would do with you since I’m assuming Kawhi Leonard is off the table:

-Scola for S-Jax and pick (Rockets clear some of the log jam at PF, get out of the last year of Scola’s deal, and pick up a future pick)

-Leuer, Harrelson, Jordan, Brockman for Bonner and pick (Spurs get out of paying Bonner's guaranteed $1M in 2013 and see what you have in Leuer/Harrelson as young backup bigs. Can also waive everyone but Brockman and his $1M and save more $$ if you wish.)

-Patterson for Splitter (Rockets clear some of the logjam at PF for a decent backup C, Spurs get a solid young two-way PF)

Looks to me like Leuer is at least 5th on the depth chart, and Patterson is 3ed or 4th. I was actually thinking a lot smaller than you are; we don't have a lot of roster spots available. Something like the following

Leuer for either Cory Joseph (last years spurs 1st, PG) or Gary Neal
Patterson for 2 of Cory Joseph, De Juan Blair and Gary Neal

We'd also deal Bonner, but we aren't moving a pick to get rid of him.

[Br0ken_Sp0ke]

Yeah, I was listing off deals with picks in mind since Morey specifically wants picks, not more rotation players.

But the value is there for a Leuer for Neal swap, especially if Martin gets dealt and all we have is Lamb at shooting guard.

Would definitely not trade Patterson for two of those players. I think Patterson has more potential than all of them.

1) Chuck Hayes. Everyone else can be left off the list.

Chuck would beat the Heat singlehandedly.

Maybe with a little help from Carl Landry.

Where's that crack pipe gone again????

[moofs]

Our aussie appears to be in a perpetually drunken stupor for the time being.

[kam_soluusar]

No. I actually ran out of weed yesterday. So I was quite lucid when I typed these posts.

Or is my reality skewed when I am not high? Either way........

BRING BACK CHUCKWAGON!!!!!!!!
