If I am Houston, I will bring Llull from Madrid and re-sign Pat, that sets the PG going forward.
In that scenario there is no money for Josh Smith, so I will go after a defensive PF like Mickey who can add some toughness and similar skills in that end without the crazyness offensively, if Dwight goes down you can play Motie at C next to him because he is a force as a defender.
You have also Capela developing, and if you make a trade for another big, lets say Millsap for example, or someone else of high profile, I guess based on Jones and D-Mo, you have enough intelligent role players with a Jordan Mickey via draft.
Resigning Pat is probably not an option. Anything above 6-7 mil puts us out of range for a max player next year capspace wise. I think Bev is likely to get offered at least that much. That's over paying for him now but a lot of GMs look at it in terms of next year when that will be MLE money. Lock up guys now because next year **** will hit the fan and you will wish you had more players locked up.
The only thing that might save us is his injury. Bev does have a history of getting injured and that may scare teams away. Still it just takes one and Cuban may be stupid enough to spend that money on him. With all the shooter on that team Bev migh work much like they hoped Rhondo would. Will see.
