    This^ or Lillard and Drummond. They would still have to address their defensive wing problem. So i say try to hold on to that 18th pick for Jeffrey Taylor.
    Lillard/Beal
    Drummond
    Taylor

    That would be a very, very successful draft. Addressing all of our weaknesses in one swoop.

    Agreed. Stern saved us.

    He is better than nothing, and way better than Da-Bear.

    Alex Kennedy: If the Houston Rockets aren't able to acquire Dwight Howard, sources say they'll attempt to trade for Rudy Gay or Josh Smith.

    Can we get a Rudy Gay/Chandler Parsons SG/SF combo? I'd love to see that.

    If the Rockets aren't able to acquire Dwight Howard.

    They should just focus on the draft instead of adding another borderline all-star that will carry the team to #14 again and again.

    Aldridge mentioned Gasol in his Kings/#5/Lowry piece

    Don't like Bucher...

    But he was just on ESPN saying that Dwight to Houston wouldn't even make much sense for Houston because Dwight may not even play for the start of the season.

    If Dwight wanted the 30 extra million...why wouldn't he just stay in Orlando? I think he's willing to give that up to play in Brooklyn for whatever dumb reason.

    Just a random thought here, but if the Rockets end up keeping Lowry and trade for Rudy Gay, does that make Lowry happy? I mean, he and Rudy are really good friends aren't they?

    Seriously, just because he's not gonna start the season, acquiring the best center in the game wouldn't make sense?? The opportunity to possibly sign him to a multi-year deal should be scrapped because he might miss the beginning of THIS season?? Ric Bucher needs to stop acting like he's in the know when he's clearly not.

    Would you do #12 + Scola for Gasol?

    Not at this stage no. Too much salary to take on if we're not going to be contenders this year.
