I would also love if we did trade for PJ tucker or dudley.

Whiteside / Capela
Young / Capela / Beasley
Ariza / Dudley / Beasley
Harden / Dudley / Beasley
PG / Beverley


Thaddeus Young? he is still in this league?
i thought Morey was trying to get him when Yao was still on the team


He was traded to Pacers, would have been a nice addition:

Where will Daryl Morey be at the stroke of midnight on July 1st?

Horford's house?

Horford is his best candidate now
Durant won't even meet with him
i rather Morey go after Conley first

if he can't get Horford at least we still have DMo and Capela can play center (Morey sound like he want DMo back)
even though our PG is Harden
we still need player that can defend PG position to play with him
don't even know Terry will be back and he is not young

Would you be interested in a Jimmy Butler for James Harden swap by any chance? Or even a Joakim Noah/Pau Gasol or Taj Gibson for Dwight?

No to the first one, but y'all have the space to just sign Dwight without trading anything

The more I think about it the more I don't mind resigning TJones. He probably won't be as awful as he was last year and D'Antoni could use him. Probably relatively cheap too

Not sure how coach Pringles can use TJones since he can't shoot but whatever

But he can get up and down the floor, can handle the ball and finished well two years ago. The offense isn't just "stand here and shoot". That's what we did last year. Matrix shot around 30% from three most years and was pretty successful offensively under D'Antoni. He also couldn't play 5. Youre simplifying what he wants to do too much

Yeah the matrix was actually a good basketball player even before he played for Pringles. Jones sucks and for good reason fazed out the rotation.

Jones was terrible last season. Guys like Nebula1 can tell you I've been down on him all year. But he looked really good before this season (and let years playoffs) I don't think it's crazy to think he cab get back to that with a good offensive coach

TJones problem is lack of focus
whenever he can't score he is totally out of the game

Yeah, but a more defined role and a better offensive system has a chance to help that. I don't think we will get anyone good this off season so might as well retain both he and Dmo. Unless some team's front office just woke up from a coma and didn't see TJ last season therefore giving him a dumb amount of money

That's fair. Even so if he can't get over 8 mil anywhere I'd be fine keeping him, even if Dekker and Montrezl take his playing time just for the chance he just had a fluke year

I think both the Rockets and Jones need a fresh start. I would be a bit surprised if they match. but then again if you miss things in UFA you might as well match just for the heck of it.

really you guy think we have a chance of getting horford or conley they are not signing with the rockets

dmo can not play center that is a terrible idea he can not rebound the ball and his defense is bad... I hope he does not comeback with the team

don't focus in the top free agents is a mistake


our top target should be ryan Anderson
