    Can't understand the Rubio Love? Hell, I'm still scratching my head over all of the Malick Badianne love from a few years back. :confused:

    Good luck with the 14th pick. Unless you get in the top 8 (maybe top 10 in a good draft year), you have less than a 2% chance of getting someone who will be anything more than a role player.

    And you don't like the NFL Draft. Some of the most fun in the world is dreaming of a rapturous future, even if it is logically improbable.

    It's harmless.

    Josh Harrelson signs with the Rockets as a walk on and eventually becomes the taller slightly whiter/wittier version of Chuck Hayes....

    its sad the rockets wont tank or get some cap space for dwight howard.

    morey talks a great game, about change and winning big, but it will be the same pattern. draft the best player at 14, sit him on the bench, ride hayes and scola for 41 wins, make the 8th seed and call it a success.

    there are 2 routes they can go to improve alot better than that but they wont do it...1 is tank for #1 pick draft a couple years in a row, the other is remove martin/hayes/yao/scola and whoever else to try and get a superstar to sign. I think hakeem,courtney lee,stan van gundy would be enough to get dwight to sign outright. But it would take losing BIG to trade these players for expirings and not sign yao and morey/fans are to impatient to waste a season to get the big prize in dwight.

    Even if dwight doesnt sign, you get a top 3 pick in draft . Its a win win. But they will go the mediocrity route to make season ticket holders happy.
