Rockets are shopping Brandon Knight and a 1st-Round Pick?

They can shoot over anyone, they shoot over Morey.

 

Knight, Chriss, Anthony + 2019 1st, 2020 & 2022 2nd

For

Lopez, Holiday and Arcidiacono

It might not look like it at first glance, but I think that deal would go a long way for us, potentially solving most of our depth problems, and potentially a bit of our defensive woes as well.

Arcidiacono might be the best backup PG that you’ve never heard of. He’d be a good fit for our system, nearly 70% of his shots are 3’s and he’s shoots a solid %, he finishes well at the rim, has a good assist to to turnover ratio, good size and only 24.

Holiday, as I’ve mentioned before would be a great depth piece as well, top ten in 3’s and steals per game, long wingspan on a 6’6 frame.

Lopez everybody knows well, dirty work, high IQ big body who’s gonna play hard, with Nene’s lack of reliability adding another vet big would be a great luxury.

 

Where's the Defensive SF?

 

In a Wizards' uniform.

 

Lopez is averaging 1.9 rpg.

 

That would be James Harden and Ennis for the most part. Hardens strength and limited later foot speed is best suited guarding SFs.


Holiday is the defensive wing/guard. He can guard 1-3 well. We’d keep Harden at the 3, start Gordon or Holiday at 2.

Paul / Arcidiacono
Holiday / Gordon / Green
Harden / Ennis
Tucker / House / Clark
Capela / Nene / Lopez

 

Yeah the Lopez brothers have a real bizarre case of low defensive rebounding numbers for their size. He’s still a high IQ plus defender who will set good screens and do the small things. Yeah definitely wish rebounding was higher, maybe a he’s has elite box out like Dmo?

Still would be happy with adding him as a 3rd big with the rest of that package though.
