Al Jefferson to the Rockets..

Any team interested in advanced research and analytics isn't very interested in Al.

I think that this is the answer. I don't believe that Al Jefferson is a Morey guy due to his low free throw attempts considering how many and what type of shots he takes, specifically at the price he will command.

I do think they will heavily pursue Paul Milsap, depending on his pricetag.

Let me ask you, since the Jazz need a PG and have oodles of cap space to spend, how would you feel about sign and trading us Milsap (3 years - 27 million - 8,9,10) for Thomas Robinson and Jeremy Lin?
 
Al in Houston makes a lot of sense both from a player mix and a coaching standpoint. Good move for him IMO. And it makes the hated Rockets better.
 
Favors is not better than Asik. He has got potential to be better but right now Asik is the better player. He can run without breathing in 2nd fastest tempo as being 7 footer, staying on the court over 30 min without foul problem, averaging double double in every match without using any ball, rebounding in crazy rate ( 3rd in league, 2nd in percentage) and creating perfect defensive difference even though he's playing with really bad perimeter defensive players. He's one of the best post up defenders but also pick n roll. His lateral quickness, smartness and timing is just rare.

You're right, Asik is currently better than Favors, but Favors has more upside, IMO and the disparity is less than you suggest. If you look at their stats since the all star game, Asik has better reb, fg% and less to. Favors has better pts, ft%, blk, ast and st all in less minutes (not all of which is due to foul trouble, it's partly due to Ty trouble). Our perimeter defenders aren't much better defensively.
 
If Howard comes, for sure Asik's gone for salary cap situation. Howard can leave 30 mil dolars by going to Rox but the tax issue in Houston is so much better so it makes equal in cumulative total. A trade between Lakers-Rox can happen. Asik+Lin+Parsons+Picks for Howard+ trashes. But if they can not sign with Howard, they will target Josh smith, Millsap may be Love for PF. They have locked their roster minus PF. Asik, PF, Parsons, Harden, Lin.

The Rockets would have to be NUTS to do that trade. Howard is a headcase and a chemistry problem. Jeff would be a better option for them because he would be playing PF and be the low post scorer they need.
 
We have to do something, to not lose AL to this scrubs...
Lets create banners like "STAY WITH US AL" or "WE CAN NOT LIVE WITHOUT YOU"

If you were Morey, and I were Lindsey, let's get that sunuvabitch dun!
 
Hopefully this happens.

Big al will turn that offense into a slow muddy mess. Houston thrives on quickness, running, shooting, and pick and roll/pop play. Big al might be the worst p&r/pop player offensively and defensively that I have seen in a long time
 
You mean because Charlotte is stupid?[/QUOTE]

And Charlotte actually needs a person who knows how to make a basket on occasion. I am all for Jefferson and Millsap leaving, Corbin needs top learn to trust the young players.
