    Who else is excited about possibly seeing guys like Donuts, Llull (hopefully), and two new lottery picks (deep draft, i'd say 13 and 16 this year is like 10 and 12 last year) come in next year. Heck I still think Morris can amount to something!

    I know this might not be thread-worthy, but I felt like sharing my enthusiasm in what is possibly one of the few bright spots to look forward to next season!

    I'm excited too! But knowing the Rockets they won't play some of them.

    Not enough playing time......to go around.....

    I am looking forward to D-MO, Llull is another year away.....I am uncertain about the 2 other picks...

    3 rookies on the same team does not bode well for development.

    Yuh. Plus, Morris will pretty much be a rookie next year. I'm hoping for some draft day trades.

    I agree with your points as the team is currently. That's why I feel that trades involving any or all of Scola, PatPat, Martin, Lowery, Morris & the draft picks will happen this summer. I'm really looking forward to see who we go to camp with this fall.

    If the Rockets still have those 2 picks come draft day, I will be disappointed to be honest.

    Yeah, well hopefully the Rockets can finally trade Scola, Martin and possibly Lowry this summer, and if needed include Budinger and/or Patterson as sweeteners.

    I agree. In the limited time Morris saw this season, he really did not look too good. He couldn't guard either 3/4s and he also had trouble creating off the dribble. My hope is that he never got in rhythm, but so far not looking too good. :(

    Trade Morris, please. Just admit we wasted another pick on a D-league tweener, do him a favor--give him another chance elsewhere--and move on. So what if we failed here? The important thing now is what we do next! C'mon DM, no more tweeners.

    That vented, I'm excited about Moti, and what we might get for Scola, Martin, +/- Lowry, +/- picks. Hoping we'll get smarter, longer, AND more athletic.

    BTW, bring Camby back. That old man was playing hurt and diving on the floor. He's our starting C now, and our future Mutombo. Love his effort and attitude.

    It's probably obvious, but pretty sure D-Mo and Lowry are the 2 biggest pieces that will be dangled to get a top 5 pick.

    Lowry but not D-mo. There's more chance morris gets shipped out than D-Mo.
