    It's not possible. The only way to get the top 10 picks required to trade for DH are those 3 with the players.

    I can't belive Camby is more than twice Drummond's age. Camby could be Drummond's dad.

    I kinda like Livingston, not a bad option for backup to Drag if we move Kyle. Of course if its his salary versus signing DWill or someone then ok, but it wouldnt be the worst thing to keep him either.

    Why would we want to waive Leuer? I understand its to save a couple million(s) but I see him as a solid backup center/power forward.

    They can add to that core a 2nd star through trade and have the MLE to spend too depending on how things play out.

    Pretty sure the Rockets plan to bring over Llull next summer. Livingston has one more year left on his deal and thus will be a free agent by next summer.

    The local radio, in Portland, is hoping that Houston trades with Sacramento for the 5th pick. They believe that Houston would then select Drummond; therefore, leaving Portland with their selection of either Barnes, Lillard, or MKG. It's assumed that Portland wants nothing to do with Drummond because of his questionable character and bust potential.

    Livingston still strikes me as an odd fit if Howard is the end game...
    You would think he would be best suited surrounded by shooters?

    Looking at it now, Jon Leuer projects very similarly to projected lottery pick Tyler Zeller.

    Tyler Zeller 22 yrs old
    height(w/shoes) 7'0 | Standing reach 8'8.5 | wingspan 7'0 | Mex Vertical 34
    Good size, can post up and can knock down the mid range jumpshot.


    Jon Leuer 23 yrs old
    height(w/shoes) 6'11.5 | Standing reach 8'9.5 | wingspan 7'0 | Max Vertical 36.5
    Good size, athletic, has some basic post up moves and has range from three.

    I didn't think MKG was projected to fall that far. What's to say we don't take him ourselves if he's still on the board?
