Houston Rockets 2011 offseason thread


Recommended Posts

This is my wishlist for what I want the Rockets to do this season.

 

1. Trade Scola, Miller, T-Will, and a pick from this years draft to Philly for Iggy and Speights (Wishful thinking I know I don't Philly lets go of Iggy anytime soon but this is still a wishlist).

 

2. With the one pick we didn't trade which would be the Pheonix Suns pick we should draft another SF. If he's still around Tyler Honeycutt would be a nice choice he can play both the 2 and 3, has good athleticism, and has potential to be a good defender. Needs to bulk up some though.

 

2. Sign one of the following Nene, Gasol, or Dalembert.

 

3. Sign Yao to less money (if he accepts, he accepts, if he doesn't life goes on) and maybe sign Hayes back

 

We would have a nice team coming into the season

 

Starting 5

Kyle Lowry

Kevin Martin

Andre Iguodala

My Rockets off season w/ no trades

 

Rockets Top 3 Needs

C:Chuck Hays does what he can, but he is not a starter he would serve Rockets better off bench

SF:Rockets need to address this need in the off season Budinger is ok, they need an offensive threat or lock down defender their to complement the Kevin Martin

Shooting PG/SG: Rockets need to get a combo guard to come off bench, hit the three and spread out defense

 

Resign Players:

Don't resign Yao or at least don't over pay to keep him

Sign Dragic back only if you can't find a scoring point guard

Sign Chuck back he is a gritty team player

Maybes

Brad Miller never can have to many bigs

Courtney Lee is still young and could be good player

Free Agents: Land one or more of these players

FA Big Board

Caron Butler

David West

Deandre Jordan

Marc Gasol

Nene

Wilson Chandler

Arron Affalo

Spencer Hawes

Glen Davis

JJ Berea

Josh Howard

Kelenna Azubuike

Josh McRoberts

If you land a good big man you then make Scola expendable (trade)

I think we push for De Jordan Rockets never pull trigger on free agents

and we get another avg big Big Baby Davis or prospect McRoberts

 

Draft: Pending on prior selections Rockets need to have a good draft in what is said to be weak draft class, but Rocks GM is decent at picking late 1st early 2nd picks

Draft Big Board minus the players I think we be gone FASHO

1st Round

Terrance Jones

Jan Vesely

Jimmer Fredette

Kawhi Leonard

Donatas Motiejunas

Tristan Thompson

Tyler Honeycutt

Jordan Hamilton

Bismack Biyombo

Kenneth Faried

Darius Morris

JaJuan Johnson

2nd Round

Darius Morris

JaJuan Johnson

Travis Leslie

LaceDarius Dunn

Norris Cole

E'twaun Moore

Chandler Parsons

Kalin Lucus

First Round

Do the Rockets take Best Available or Draft for needs?

1st pick Donatas Motiejunas Can play C/PF/SF sweet stroke from outside but can also bang needs to work on D though Alt:Jimmer Fredette Tristan Thompson

2nd pick Tyler Honeycutt SG/SF tall, rangy athletic, and he is skilled Alt: Darius Morris Kenneth Faried

Second Round

1st pick If available Darius Morris Alt: LaceDarius Dunn a all around scorer or another roll player

 

2012 Roster

STARTERS

Kyle Lowry

Kevin Martin

Terrence Williams

Louis Scola

Donatas Motiejunas

BENCH

Patrick Patterson

Chase Budinger

Chuck Hayes

Tyler Honeycutt

Darius Morris

Courtney Lee

Jordan Hill

Hasheem Thabeet

 

With this off season you solved all your roster problems realistically

Now your Trade Scola and throw in Lowry Martin Hill or Lee

Possibilities:

Trading for Wilson Chandler SF/SG w/ Chis Andersen or Arron Affalo

Trading for Andre Iggidola

Trading for Tyson Chandler

Trading for David West

I would trade Scola Lowry and Lee for ChandlerChris Andersen and Arron Affalo

Team Needs SF check C Check and Shooter Check in this trade

 

Then Trad Hill and another roll player for a PG say TJ Ford Rodrigue Beaubois Daequan Cook Nate Robinson

Hill strait up for Robinson remember his Knick days or Cook the two most likely options

Sign Vet PG Acie Law or Earl Watson

Final Roster

2012 Roster

STARTERS

Nate Robinson

4. Sign Arron Afallo and then trade Kevin Martin with a package deal. Im torn when it comes to K-Mart I want to like him, but I am not sold one him.

 

We would have a nice team coming into the season

 

Starting 5

Kyle Lowry

Kevin Martin

Andre Iguodala

Patrick Patterson

Yao Ming

 

Bench

Courtney Lee

Nene, Gasol, or Dalembert

Goran Dragic

Jordan Hill

Chase Budinger

Chuck Hayes

Marreese Speights

Hasheem Thabett

Tyler Honeycutt

My Rockets Wish List

 

1) Trade Scola for some sort of prospect and a future first round pick or a solid role player. Not sure what player or what team is interested.

With Future First Round Pick

Arron Afallo SG Nuggets

Jodie Meeks SG 76ers

Dexter Pittman C Heat

Larry Sanders C Bucks

Avery Bradley PG Celtics

Daequan Cook G Thunder

 

2) Have a good draft and land a solid C and or SF. Look for one of these players:

C Donatas Motiejunas

SF Tobias Harris

SF Tyler Honeycutt

C Lucas Nogueira

 

3)Let Yao go and move on!

 

4) Make some moves in FA. Say any of the following or combo of the fallowing!

C Marc Gasol

C De Jordan

SF Wilson Chandler

JJ Beraea

Arron Affallo

 

5) Figure out if Kevin Martin is a cornerstone of the future or if we are truly rebuilding and package him with our assets for an All-Star caliber player.

 

6) Find a starting SF and upgrade back up PG.

 

Starters

PG Kyle Lowry (Good starting PG)

SG Kevin Martin (Great Scorer with no defense)

SF Wilson Chandler FA (Improves SF position on offense and defense)

PF Patrick Patterson (A good find builds on good rookie campaign becomes full time starter)

C De Jordan FA (Young athletic C with good upside)

Bench

C Chuck Hayes (Good post defender)

Insert who ever you get for Scola here

SG Courtney Lee (Good offensively small SG) Asset

C Donatas Motiejunas Draft (Offensive ace with huge upside)

SF Tyler Honeycutt (Good skills athletic versatile with huge upside)

SF Chase Budinger (Athletic) Expendable Asset

SF Terrence Williams (Good passer and athletic) Asset

PF Jordan Hill (Blah) Expendable Asset

PG Goran Dragic (Over Rated) Expendable Asset

C Hasheem Thabeet (Project with upside) Expendable Assets
