Another Houston Trade

[Guest Walter]

Our talent.Marvin- movement player. Spot up 3pt shooter. Great size. Very good athlete. Good defender. Very poor on the ball.Horford- movement player. PnR specialist. Elite BBIQ. Great size and quickness as a PF. Elite mid range shooter. Great ability. Can't create his own offense.Joe Johnson- Very good at mostly everything but elite at nothing. Excellent spot up shooter. Playmaker for his position. Good overall defender. Not a #1 option.Those are our big contract guys. To get them to fit, we need a playmaking PG. We get them to fit, we are a much better team than we are now. We don't and we get worse especially without Smith on defense.

We not only need a playmaking Pg, but if we trade JS we need one at his peak and/or a former All-star one TODAY! JJ isn't getting any younger. I hear ya but Marshall may be a couple of years away, Nash (my preference) shouldn't get involved with this franchise, and who else out there can we ACTUALLY get?W

I agree and I would not do the deal, but it is a "fair" deal. Statistically it's about dead even. You are right, fit is the issue for me. "Right over my head"? I disagree and believe that Lowry does make the team better than Teague, but not enough so that I want to trade JS for Scola/14/and a little improvement at the Pg position. It's close which is why I offered up counters.W

That's what I meant. You corrected me.

I would love Nash but he has no interest in Atlanta as does Deron.
