    Make all the jokes you want, but we need him. Played 155 games the past two seasons, is a veteran, averaged 18 and 11 per 36 (14 and 8 in 28 mins per), a 4.3 DWS rating, and is a 77% FT shooter, and shoots 37% from 3-16 feet. He can space the floor, he can rebound. His defense isn't all world, but I think he would be a much more effective defender on the west's dominate PF's than Jones.

    He can probably be had for cheap. Now is not the time to let another useful free agent go somewhere else.

    Beverly
    Harden
    Ariza
    Boozer
    Howard

    That lineup will compete.

    It's all depending on if he makes it past the bids. If he does, I think he will consider playing here.

    He's worth taking a flyer on....

    Do you guys have any better ideas at this point?

    Point Guard and Power Forward is our weakest position now. We don't have any veterans at either position so this move is ideal.

    Count me out for Evil Skull Dude. I remember 2007. And I also remember Shandon Anderson and Antoine Carr.

    The Rockets just don't do former Jazz players. We're like soap and water. All of a sudden you get one and the ghost of Jerry Sloan just pops out of them, like a stale fart. Then they go Benedict Arnold on you. And now Jeff Hornacek is the coach of the Suns oh God.

    If we could get him, I'll be all for it! His contract is only a year long so it still allows us to be competitive and have some flexibility (the forsaken word nowadays)
