    This list seems like it is worthy of attention and contemplation.

    Flynn & Terrence are virtually untradeable at this time. NOBODY wanted both of those players, thats why Houston got them for cheap. (Well, not so much Terrence anymore but whatever) OKC used a lotto pick to draft a true Center so im sure they still have value on him coming around in the next two seasons. It will take more than those two players to get him at least as early as next season.

    Would I trade one of the Rockets quality players like Dragic or Budinger... hmm... Id have to say no honestly. Too much to give up for another project big. And if he has tapped his potential on the court already then.... hell to the no. If thats the best he has then no thank you. Chuck is still a better option unfortunately.

    I agree with durvasa - this list is flawed because it includes the 2011 draft rookies who haven't even played an NBA game. LOL that we seem to pick the low hanging fruit in Head, Dorsey, Taylor (sorry DD), etc., but I think Mikey Harris deserves better than this.

    I completely agree that those two have little value. Thats part of my point. Dragic on the other hand has decent value and is due for a pay raise. Aldrich hasn't been on the court to really say he's tapped his potential. Dragic may leave after this season anyway if someone offers 5+ a year. Trading dragic could net us a big and boost the value of our backups, which we may decide to keep or trade at a later point. I like Chuck a lot too. But cap space is going to be vital in acquiring a star.

    I agree that dragic is better than Aldrich right now, even though they don't play the same position. However, given that we have some low value, high potential guards on the bench, we should think about trading dragic for value. And that chuck is much better than him too. But we need a true big. So we'd see whether thabeet / aldrich pan out.

    Hardwood Paroxysm is doing a countdown of 50 worst rotation players (15+ mpg).

    http://www.hardwoodparoxysm.com/2011/08/20/exercises-in-futilitythe-50-worst-nba-rotation-players-40-31/

    They've only done 50-31, but we should be safe the rest of the way.

    They just listed Bud over Evan Turner. I would trade Bud and Twon't for ET if they don't want to trade Iggy. That would clear up some bodies and that would be a solid 1 thru 3 with Lowry, Turner, Lee, Martin, Dragic, and Morris. Turner can handle and create. I think he could develop into a good player.

    Don't think it's very fair to rate somebody as one of the worst players in the NBA who has never played in the NBA. Guess I'm glad they didn't rate me as one of the worst. So, if Chandler Parsons is one of the worst players in the NBA, is Cholet one of the worst teams in the NBA?
