    Reading that still makes me smack my lips uncomfortably.

    Associating McHale with the Rockets like that is going to take some getting used to.

    If he can help refine the games of our bigs (namely Thabeet and Hill), it don't bother me one bit.

    No thanks to both. Thompson is way undersized and Bismarck is one dimensional.

    You're talking about the man who drafted an all time great in Kevin Garnett and forced a trade for Kevin Love. The man my not come off as a genius but his eye for Big men talent is unquestionable.

    When I saw the thread I thought maybe Klay Thompson...no way I want Tristan. Last thing we need is an undersized PF.

    Don't know if the bit about Thompson is true.

    Reading about him, you can see how McHale and Morey might want him, and might even discard other power forwards (hopefully to trade for a center or upgrade at the 3).

    Apparently the dude gets offensive rebounds and blocks a lot of shots. If we get him, I'm sold....as long as there are other moves afoot.

    Agree. Biyombo has zero offensive skills, and just doesn't seem like a guy Morey would go crazy over.

    Thabeet is just lazy as hell.....biyombo seems to have a slightly better work ethic.

    Tristan Thompson makes 0 sense unless Scola/PPat are exiting

    Pretty sure we can get Biyombo at 14. Thompson probably not.

    Patterson sucks, Scola is getting older.

    Off course we need another big. That doesnt mean we need another power forward. Why move up for Tristan Thompson? Patterson and Hayes can man the 4, not to mention we have someone called Scola.

    Reading these rumors about Rockets targeting guys like Donatas and Thompson really scares me.

    I used to think we should go Bismack, but the more I think about it, the more I think he's going to bust especially if he's picked at #8. #8s have a knack for busting now-a-days (except for Gay).

    Wait a minute, are you telling me that the coach is making the decisions for the Rockets.
