    Lamb got some real game on his hands. Kid will be unstoppable this year or maybe next year!

    You can't compare someone to the Ice Man until they start using the finger roll.

    Morey holds a lot of Aces. They tend to win at poker. Playah!

    Give the man his due. He is making heads swivel around the NBA right now. Including players.

    When's the last time the Houston Rockets were not one but the two hottest topics across the league? Maybe never?

    Looks like Les has given Morey a lot more rope to play with. His draft choices have been stunning BPAs. D-Mo falling to Houston last year was a coup, and Lamb, regarded by several draft boards as the #1 SG in the draft fell to the Rockets at 12.

    Morey seems like a master manipulator with his offer to Lin. He also seems to be playing for the gold in the Howard trade. I would expect his offer to Orlando to be really low, otherwise the Magic would have taken it and run already. I think the Howard trade is going to take a while, but it will happen.

    The thing I find most interesting about the Rocket's SL team is how well they are playing together. No Jimmer on that squad. Every body seems willing to make the extra pass and no one seems to be trying to pad their stats. McHale seems to have made an imprint on the roster in a good way.

    Honestly, Lamb's playing so much better than Beal it isn't even funny. Dude can't hit 3s, our boy's swishing everything and giving good effort on D.

    We might have ended up with the best SG in the entire draft, and a future superstar.

    Morey really is the best when it comes to drafting. It is still soon to say, but im glad we did not trade down for that 5th pick to get drummond. As far as drafting wise, I feel like we are winner.

    Lamb, White, and Jones combo is working out much better than Dickerson, Drew, Turksan combo we tried last time.

    Even if you didn't put no homo, I wouldn't even call you gay for that matter.

    I wouldn't even call anyone gay if you are in love with these rookies.

    New Rockets' Era has begun? :confused:

    Best Houston Rockets Draft class since 2002 with Yao Ming.

    Jeremy Lamb and Donatas Motiejunas could turn out to be core pieces to finally start a true rebuilding process.

    Include Jones and White in the equation as well.

    If no Howard trade goes down, not many will be mad cause that's 4 good YOUNG players that have a chance to grow together.

    Parsons AND....they can play as well as they can, take their lumps and if the record is bad, we have ANOTHER chance at a stud in next years draft.

    The future is bright.

    They are already proving that a Dwight Howard rental would be absolutely stupid. The "Big Three" will one day take this team farther than Howard has taken his.

    White almost has a triple double. Hes a stat machine like Lebron. Hopefully his dribbling and shooting improves a lot more.

    I love our rookies, please keep em!! If we can add Bynum and help that whiny Dwight go to Hollywood where he belongs with only giving up Patterson, Morris, Martin and some picks, I'll be thrilled with what Morey has done!
