this season was better than i expected, better enough to be dissapointed that the rockets didnt make the playoffs
and i wanna tell everyone that the playoffs are sooooo boring without the rockets
but dont worry, with yao back and these possible trades and signing, we can be championship contenders
first of all, i hate it when people say that brooks and martin do not get along
brooks and martin have each had several 20+ games together
also, i hate it when people say that brooks is a scoring guard and cant win a championship because brooks is
improving one step at a time. next year he will be averaging about 6-8 assists a game
let me start with a couple trades
1. package a deal with scola and jefferies and perhaps david anderson for al jefferson
and perhaps the 22nd overall pick. if the rockets are planning to get bosh, then we forget this trade but i honestly
prefer this trade than giving up 4 or 5 players for bosh
2. trade our draft pick and perhaps chase budinger (sorry people but we need more defense) for the thunder two
late round picks and a 2 2nd round picks and some draft picks for next year
next
assuming we traded the draft pick
draft
soloman alabi
avery bradley
jarvis varnado
mikhail torrence
im pretty sure yao will be playing only 40 games and the playoffs so alabi can get some minutes
pick up a nice small forward that we can get for cheap (rasual butler, JARVIS HAYES, kyle korver, udoka)
our lineup will be
yao-alabi- chuck hayes
al-hill-varnado
ariza- battier-jarvis hayes
martin-bradley-taylor'
brooks-lowry-torrence
thats a championship team right there thats also loaded with young talent as well as a leader and a lineup that wont ever let lebron get in the paint
lets assume that none of this happens and that we do the original sign and trade deal with bosh
so it will be battier, jefferies, and we resign scola, hayes for about 6-8 mil and trade him and give away one of the
knicks pick for bosh and their 13th pick
we can draft whiteside and xavier henry with the pick we would have
then we trade david anderson for a late first round pick or an early 2nd round pick and draft Nemanja Bjelica who
can be our 3rd option in the small forward
then we pick up acie law for less than 1 mil
this will be our roster
yao-whiteside-|
bosh-hill | udoh as 3rd option in both positions
ariza-budinger
martin- henry
brooks-lowry-acie
another championship team with less defense
which possibility is better for a championship
