We're Cookin Now! Back to the 'Offs with O'Antoni! 2016 Rockets Season Thread

[Playaz Eyez]

No lie, we need so much help sometimes I miss that we didn't resign Parsons. He was able to carry us offensively periodically and take a load off of Harden.

While true, we didn't have to overpay for him, nor suffer through two knee surgeries with him. And we also got better without him.

Also, as far as the trades, I wish there was a way to get Taj Gibson as well. I've always liked his no-nonsense game, and he has a Nene like demeanor that would be good for the team. I think his contract may be pretty big though, especially for him being 31 and playing loads of games

But Parsons balled for us

Really hope we find a way to snatch up ibaka

He would be a great addition, would Anderson come off the bench tho?

Or would we start the game with Harden-Bev-Ariza-Anderson-Ibaka

If they can hash that out then Dekker can go back to playing the 3 and Ariza's minutes can get reduced a little. He's been playing a lot of minutes..

Ideal package would be something like Brew+KJ and a 1st for Ibaka

Lesser package: Brew+Trez and a 2nd


Or a big deal: Brew+KJ+Trez and a pick for Ibaka and Hezonja

All work in trade machine

Capella should stay a starter no matter what. The pick and roll with him and Harden is straight gold.

The best thing about our bigs is that they all have developed chemistry with Harden and each plays differently which makes it hard for teams to figure out how to defend the pick and roll if they're constantly being rotated from the bench.

Not a fan of including Trez/Dekker in any scenarios. It should be all KJ/Brewer/Ennis.

Happy that we'll more than likely get to 40 wins before 20 losses. Glad Dallas knocked off Utah as well.

Trez's chemistry with Harden is too good to let go of him

Dekker is so multifaceted and the 3 is coming along for him

the thing with trading trez and dekker is that morey is really good at finding those guys so we wouldn't really have a problem replacing them in the draft. i hope that wouldn't be a hold up in a potential ibaka trade.

taj has an expiring contract for $8.9m

I dig this one cause it does minimal to the chemistry we have with the main guys. Ajinca is a lengthy ass dude, and I've always been a Nick Young fan timely 3s come with him. Also, getting Brewer is a major addition by subtraction.

Nick Young shooting like 20% higher from the corner than Brew is
