Hard to look like "champs" when we will be fighting for a top 3 pick next year haha, but I get what you mean.

Waiting for first national media source confirm talks with Houston are back on.

Probably a lottery pick.

Probably getting another lottery protected pick with the Rockets or 2, I'm not sure.

Houston isn't surrounding Howard with a great cast in the compeitive WC, could even get a nice pick after next season to.

So what will Houston look like

Brooks/Duhon
JRich/Lee
Parsons/Turk
Patterson/Morris/Clark
D12/Montiejunas

It could work and they will still be able to make moves the following summer.

For us it seems like a no brainer to dump all the bad contracts and take rookies and picks.

If D12 is dealt to HOU, I'll bet he re-signs. They'll have cap space to surround him with good talent (Monta/Iggy/J-Smoove). They'll do what the Nets did with D-Will, but hopefully smarter.

They got Tony Douglas, Lee would start.

I would personally keep Hedo... Other teams might have interest in him come trade deadline

I agree send him out now. I would love to watch White or Harper play the 3 for us instead of Hedo jacking up 3s and playing no D.

You know what happens when you miss trash day? Hedo Turkoglu playing an 82 game season happens.

Teams have shown in the past, they aren't afraid to make their team deeper for the playoffs. Hedo come trade deadline could help a lot of teams who are in position for a playoff run, I would rather trade Dwight along with JRich, Clark, Duhon, and possibly Harper or Q Richarsdon. Sign our rookies. Sign Aaron Brooks to a 1 yr deal. Sign one of our Pg from the summer league. And go from there

Ahmadab · Post #598 » by **Ahmadab** » Thu Jul 12, 2012 11:15 pm

Paul Phoenix from Tekken

Nerlens Noel

Why would you send out Clark, Harper of Q who make such a small amount of money ?
