    Our entire roster for:

    Anthony Davis
    Terrence Jones
    Michael Kidd-Gilchrist
    Doron Lamb
    Marcus Teague
    Darius Millier
    Kyle Wiltjer

    I would love that. Full rebuild mode instead of staying in basketball purgatory. A couple bonafide stars and role players to build around. A ton of cap space to add missing pieces.

    We would suck for YEARS like DC but I guess we'd be exciting.

    If the Rockets were the name of the UH basketball team, yes.

    A #1 pick + 2 lotto + 1 st rounder + 3 second rounder?

    I probably wouldn't unless I'm convinced that Davis is lock for superstar.

    Lowry
    Martin
    Scola
    Patterson
    Morris
    DMo
    Parsons
    Lee

    We have a pretty solid crop of assets.

    I would in a heartbeat just for Davis alone. DMo is not on the roster and neither is Llul.

    DMo
    Davis
    Sergio

    And build around that.

    Took out DMo. So, all other complicating factors ignored, you think whatever team ends up with the top pick this year would trade it for the above package?

    I don't.

    Much less adding in another top 10 pick, a mid first rounder.

    I would make the trade.

    Davis is a lock to be a superstar. The kid is unreal. If you haven't seen much of him yet, you certainly will in the tournament. Michael Kidd-Gilchrist will also be a star. That's a combo you can build around. Terrence Jones I'm not completely sold on, but he could be a great piece if he pans out.

    Lamb can be a solid role player because he's a great shooter. Always good to have them when you are building around big men. Miller wouldn't be much more than a 12th man, but that's fine. Teague and Wiltjer can greatly benefit from an extra year of school and propel themselves in to being worth of lottery picks, they have great potential.

    I said yes and I didn't even know who was on the Kentucky roster because I don't watch college basketball.

    Yeah I'd do that and plus we would suck pretty bad so we would have a good shot at Shabazz Muhammad in 2013. 6'6" and 7 foot wingspan with some amazing skills. That dude is gonna be a monster and better than any prospect this year.

    Anthony Davis would be nice. Our team would suck next year. Worse than the Bobcats.

    every time I watch Kyle Wiltjer I start to feel sorry for him. How was this guy a Mcdonalds All-American? He NEVER looks like he is having fun.

    What makes matters worse it seems everyone ignores him when he is on the court.

    That would be nuts. No such thing as a sure thing coming out of college and if 5 years from now you get 2 all stars off that roster it would take a miracle. Damn good question though. Has any college team in the same draft ever produced 2 all stars the same year?

    And pardon me but I see no one on that team named LBJ.

    Off the top of my head, it came close with Howard making all star in 96 and Webber 97

    Naw man. Nerlens Noel. Crazy shot blocker even better than Anthony Davis. Superman potential. Starting Line of:

    Marquis Teague/Sergio Llull
    Doron Lamb/Darius Miller
    Michael Kidd-Gilchrist/Terrence Jones
    Anthony Davis/Kyle Wiltjer
    Nerlens Noel/Donatas Motijeunas
