So having seen what this team can do, I think we at least met expectations by getting to the WCF. But in order seriously compete with the upper tier and become a true title contender, what needs to be done to improve this team. 1) A healthy team would help 2) We have a young crew that should grow and improve 3) Harden is still young and hopefully has another level in him 4) We can make some trades and have a number of assets to deal What does CF think we need this off season? and don't say new coach because it's not happening....
Well since we can't get a new coach I vote on overhauling our medical staff Maybe try to steal San Antonios Our medical staff has been overrated for years and is long overdue to be re-rostered I also think we should trade Terrance Jones and get something decent in return
Had hoped we would have a chance for Ray Allen, but he never came back. And it seems we didn't really have a chance.
You're an idiot. We made western without Bev and Dmo. We're fine. Just need some minor tweaks. 1 major upgrade at either of or pg. Papanik, pels 1st, capela, Jones are out major chips.
It was obvious from July to November to January to April to May...the Rockets absolutely need another playmaker besides Harden.
Yes, need another ball handler at the PG position. Need a wing player that can hit 3s. I think you bring in Rondo and Eric Gordon. You absolutely jettison TJ. You can't have PFs that refuse to rebound. It was absolutely pathetic out there tonight on the boards.
Get a PG that can shoot the three. Get a PF that can shoot the three. Don't re-sign Smith or Brewer. Trade Terrance Jones for whatever you can get (hopefully a pick).
Harden's gotta change his mindset. When things aren't going right he's gotta be able to turn it around
What do you mean compete with top tier teams? There is not a team in the west besides the Warriors that i put ahead of us, and who knows how the warriors will look next season with all the players that will want to get paid they will most likely lose. We just need a good PG and a (i hate to say this) Green type PF and we are there id say.
Morey will attempt to ship out or excess PF depth for a star like LMA or Love At the same time he will look to bring over Llull or make a trade for Lawson or Lowry. Honestly if you drop the dead weight of Papa, Prigs, Bev, and Dorsey and add just Llull, the # 18 rookie and one more shooter it maybe enough to push us over the hump. In this scenario you go all in with depth and resign Smith and Brewer. Llull/Terry/NJ Harden/FA/Rookie Ariza/Brewer Dmo/Smith/Jones Howard/Capela I wouldn't mind seeing what we could get for Jones, #18, and NY 2nd rounder either Lawson/Terry/NJ Harden/FA Ariza/Brewer Dmo/Smith/Scola Howard/Capela I'd go to war either way
Experiences like this will help a team as much if not more than splashy offseason moves. So, it was a successful year. We need to be a more disciplined team. Our style is turnover prone, gambling, high risk/high reward. We were lucky to get as far as we did playing this way ... Really, we overachieved. Next year, I just want us to be a smarter team. I hope the changes we implement are towards that direction.
Tom Thibodeau. Whether it's as an assistant or as the head. Mike Conley as our point guard. No more Terrence Jones. Resign Brewer and Smith. Heavy minutes for Johnson.
Not much change is needed. As far as I'm concerned the only teams we need to worry about next season are the Warriors and the Thunder. Maybe the Clippers.
