If we are giving up Lee + #14, we better be getting back #10 AND Ersan Ilyasova. If milwaukee balks at that, maybe add the #38 or just walk away.
I would much rather send Hill + 14th, partly because we already have too many PFs, partly because Lee is just better. If we do trade Hill, it will be very interesting to see what we get for him. Most ppl here have no idea that he has real value around the NBA. Less so than Lee, but he does have value.
I sure hope Leonard, Biyombo, and Singleton are Morey smoke screens, and is goal is to have Thompson or Motiejunas fall to #14.
Lee straight up for the #10 pick? Git r' done, Morey! The Rockets could take Alec Burks or one of the Euro big men.
I would not trade Lee (proven scorer and defender) for an NBA level unproven 10th pick. Maybe if we moving up to the top five I would consider it or the Bucks are trading a decent player along with the pick. I wonder who Morey likes so much he is willing to give up Lee. Martin did not get injured last year but he does have a injury history, Lee is an excellent back up for him.

If you trade Scola, you have 2Pat and Thompson backing him up. Thompson is a high flier and would help us push it with the second unit. Just thinking about dramatic rejections in the Rockets' paint makes me excited in a way I haven't been since Hakeem. It's like having a hockey goalie, instead of a series of redundant turnstiles. Current logjams are not a problem for a rebuilding team. I think most people would lump Scola in with Battier, Adleman as in older pieces best suited and most deserving of a contending team. Throw them a bone. They get to use their last prime years in pursuit of something meaningful, and us fans get the pleasure of watching our young blue chips develop. Win win!
Twitter: @incarceratedbob is reporting the 10th pick has been moved and the Bucks will be picking for another team. Didn't say what team though.
Rumor has it that my friend in Wisconsin who lives in Houston but is there for vacation says that people are mortified at the fact of Lee + 23 for 10 and ilyasova. He told me Ilyasova wants to get bought out to sign with an oversees team. Also, Buck fans already have Salmons and CDR so Lee would be stupid. He said the Buck's main reason for this is that they only like valanciunas and no one else in the lottery. Only rocket related things were that the radio people up there think we are targeting Beyombo at #10 and Singleton at #14. They also think were interested in Klay Thompson
