    Just wanted to know what people think will happen next season.
    I'll start:

    I think that with a new coach, T Williams will get a fresh start and work his way into the rotation as a SF. That is if we don't trade him come draft day and BPA left at our pick is not a SF.

    I think we will also start out much better in the beginning of the season due to the fact that the players have better chemistry and defined roles. Factor in the fact that we missed out on the playoffs for consecutive years and we should see a fire from day 1.

    I predict we will have one all-star next year.

    We can hope to be in the position Memphis is this year. However, we will probably get a bad match up and get bounced in the first round.

    So I heard that Michael Jackson's body was frozen only so he may brought back to life in the near future when technology allows us to do so. So, if he were the King of Pop when he was alive, what would that make him now? King of Popsicles?


    ... and that's why I believe we should go after DeAndre Jordan and CP3.

    I predict a lockout, and turmoil because of it.

    I was 100% with this. Now, I hedge. I 'presume' that Stern/Hunter are using NFL's legal findings to steer their discussions.

    The NBA season may be saved by a Hail Mary? Or field goals to field goals. Three pointers both?

    50 Win Season

    I think we win over 50 games. Here is what I see happening.
    Yao first of all comes back, and plays all year. He will have one of his best seasons, and be representing the west center all star.
    With our core back, Scola, Lowry, Martin, Hayes (will be back), and Budinger.
    We have solid backups in Goran, PPat, Courtney Lee.
    I look for Hasheem to come off the bench and play a Mutombo type role: providing defense, rebounds, and blocks
    I look for us in trading Hill if they see Hasheem blossoming, as well as trading TWill during the draft, and moving up to draft Kemba Walker.
    In free Agency we Look for another 4 or 5 Big man if not Miller may be back.
    Lets Go Rockets!!! 55-27..3rd place in West.

    8 games through the trading deadline, where we get the "superstar" of choice by dealing the lotto pick we are destined for.

    we finish the season with an awesome 20-62 record.

    It will be another season of growing pains. We'll have a new coach, and I predict, a very different looking team.

    Jordan Hill will be the first to go.

    I also predict that Morey will trade Luis Scola (terrible idea) and have to give up Chuck for an allstar-type player.

    We will somehow get Danny Granger.:)

    I'd wager around 48 wins, 7th seed.

    Impossible to tell.

    There WILL be some significant roster changes, otherwise I would lose all faith in Morey.

    I don't care whether its stockpiling or upgrading, if we are rebuilding we are meant to get better players.

    Getting an All-Star would be a great start.

    Hasheem Thabeet will dominate the NBA, averaging 20/10. Rockets will go 56-26, beat the Mavericks, Lakers, Spurs advancing to the NBA Finals where they will defeat the Heat in 6.

    Short lockout season is perfect for Yao, who leads us to a ring! :)

    I say we win about 45 games and make the playoffs in a weakened West. Patterson has shown enough to make Scola expendable, and we'll trade him while he still has value. I also predict that Lowry or Martin will make the All-Star team
