LaMarcus is the power forward equivalent of Kevin Martin with a bit more flash. Do not want.

No way!!!!

Lma next to Asik would be a dream....lma is a top 5 pf in the league

PFs I'd take ahead of LMA: Love, Faried, Anderson, Ibaka, Humphries, Noah, Pekovic, Josh Smith (maybe), Griffin.

He's barely top 10. He scores a lot of points, though.

Yea...no.

I really like lma as well. 7footer with range and low post game.

I'd take LMA too. He's developed an incredible post game within the past two seasons.

Yeah would only take Love over LMA the rest of that list makes little to no sense and I just hate Griffin's game

Griffin's game is pretty crude, actually, yeah.

#1 is cursed since T-Mac
nobody got the #1 jersey stay longer than a year

Ariza - one season
Williams - about one season, got him before trade deadline then traded him the next year before the trade deadline
Lamb - one preseason

LMA sometimes can be really dominant in the paint
problem is he is not consistent
but he's still really good on defense
he's like poor man Duncan
lol
Griffin can be beast if he works on his mid-range instead of thinking he's SF and start doing those crossover dribbling and shooting 3

There are a handful of things that he can be knocked for..
- Getting nothing for Dragic
- Missed a couple obvious gems in 2 of the last 3 drafts that we could have easily gotten: Kawhi Leonard, Kenneth Faried
- Got virtually nothing back for Camby (given Camby's age, this isn't a huge knock)
- Nic Batum for Joey Dorsey
- 1st round pick for Terrance Williams
- Return on Lowry was a bit low, imo

(The catch being, ANY GM is going to have some moves whiff as they gain and lose leverage, assets, and liquidity - in other words, none of the above are all that big of a deal.)

As has been the case since Morey took the reins, I'm happy with the roster and its direction.

-he used the cap space for Dragic on Lin
-he doesn't like to draft freshmen and especially those not from popular school
-it was actually Batum for Greene and Dorsey and Greene eventually got us Artest, at least we went to the 2nd round with Artest
-Lowry trade help get you Harden

If we go way back, Reece Gaines (who we got in the McGrady trade) helped us get James Harden

Gaines was traded to the Bucks for Mike James, we traded James to Toronto for Rafer Alston, then we traded Alston to the Magic in a 3-way deal to land us Lowry. Threw Lowry to Toronto for the 1st round pick.

Sorry, just had to do it for fun.

LMAO. Don't even get me started with that scrub, Reece Gaines. :lol:

Heck, why stop there? KELVIN CATO helped us get James Harden!

I can see the rockets pursuing Josh Smith in the off-season. Our post defense would be tenacious!!!

PG: Lin
SG: Harden
C: Asik
SF: Parsons
PF: Smith

I love that lineup... Too bad no Lowry though :/

zapatasblood · Post #340 » by **zapatasblood** » Wed Oct 31, 2012 8:24 pm

Hell no to Josh Smith! Do not know why people want someone with an weaker offensive game then Griffin. If we get someone in the frontcourt then they need to actually be able to score in the post. Rather have Al Jefferson who I think will be cheaper then Smith since some idiot will give him max. I think they will make a play for Demarcus Cousins now and int the offseason
