    All deals will fall through. We're going to end up with Zeller, Marshall, and Sullinger at 12, 16, and 18. Morey says we maintain flexibility and assets to improve going forward. He'll keep looking for opportunities, yada yada yada.

    I think we will end up with an allstar and a potential allstar player. Not howard or williams.

    People's expectations are so high right now thanks to Doc Rocket. I think many are going to end up disappointed. We won't get Drummond or MKG or someone like that, that's how I think this will go down.

    Wizard selects older, low ceiling 'NBA ready' bigman with amazing advance stats, awesome intangibles and big strong arms. Wiz gets worshipped and praised as the lord & savior. New dude gets hyped up on the forum to being the next all-star in Houston. Later labeled the next franchise guy by the majority of clutchfans.

    Two seasons down, a couple of stints in the D-league... the hype fades. Realization sets in for some. Our pick ends up being another bench player/marginal starter at best.

    So far all I am seeing is that we are slowly moving up in the draft and cutting a lot of the team salary.

    Feast or famine, and nothing in between. Moderate excitement is an unlikely option. After tomorrow the Rockets are a contender, or lotto loungers.

    KMart - Traded

    Lowry - Traded

    Two picks - Traded

    Attained - Other picks (prob. top 7 and top 10)

    One All-Star attained.

    All that by 11:59 Thursday night.

    Morey will draft the next superstar tomorrow. Everyone will be happy. Some folks will chastise his critics and rightly so. Morey will give Les Alexander a reason to give him an extension and the Rockets will be young and loaded for years to come at talent.

    This is really all we need our big man to be. If Drummond turns into DeAndre Jordan, then that would be great.

    Jordan was 35th, Drummond will be lottery. I will not be happy with another Jordan.

    Would you rather have him bust out, or would you be okay if he turned into a Jordan type?(I actually think he will be better)

    Want to be optimistic, but I feel like every deal is gonna fall through at the last minute.

    Then numerous articles will be written how close we were.

    My prediction: The Rockets trade Lowry and roster filler and a package of first rounders to get the #5 and #8 picks. They draft Drummond and Perry Jones III and wait for Orlando until July 1st.

    Has anyone around here ever predicted what Morey would do on draft night (ie the player drafted)? I swear we are all shocked every year.
