    Karl (Houston): Anyways can you please tell me if there will be changes in the Rockets roster?

    Ken Bikoff (Basketball News): The Rockets are going to look for players who can play tough defense while starting to make Yao Ming the focus of the offense. I like Eddie Griffin playing under Jeff Van Gundy if Griffin goes back to being the player he was in college. As for Francis and Cuttino Mobley, they will have to share the ball a little more and play with more discipline. If they aren't willing to get on board with that plan, the Rockets could make some moves. But they won't come until after the draft.

    What moves? Trade for draft picks? Free agents? :confused:

    I just read that interview. I feel like this guy doesnt really know what he is talking about. He said moves will come after the draft, and that Griffin should be good under VG. I feel he would be better, but all signs point to us moving him sometime soon.

    What signs are you talking about? That some people opened a few threads here with some ludicrous trade proposals like Griffin for an over-the-hill, almost 35 year old guy with $ 37 mio. left over three years on his contract? I have yet to hear any indication from the Rockets or a reputable source that Griffin is on the market.

    LOL, that's like saying if the Rockets lose more games than they win...their record will be below .500.

    Great. Thanks for the info, Ken.
