    and i have to stress our lack of experience. kevin martin is our veteran, and he may be gone by the trade deadline, that leaves who as our veteran? Parsons? when a team is this inexperienced, it almost always ends in a very bad record.

    If the Rockets hadn't traded Lowry to Toronto, their pick would be much higher!

    I agree with some of this .... Just that I dont believe the Rockets are in that group with the Wizards and Cav's I think those two teams are better as are the Kings and Magic ....

    Orlando didnt gut the team rather took back mediocre talent and have a lot of veterans with a solid post presence in Davis. They will be in the lottery but I think they are in the position that the Rockets have been the past few seasons , not good enough to make the post season , not bad enough to get an early lottery pick. Another reason why that trade they made was soo poor.

    The Wizards post trade are a much improved team and could surprise this season. They have a solid point and good interior players. Also added #3 pick Beal .... tho I think there were at least two better SG's in that draft.

    Sacramento has a 20/10 guy in the middle ..... occasionally. DeMarcus Cousins and Tyreke Evans will carry them to more wins than the Rockets total.

    I think the five worst teams in no particular order are the Bobcats , Bucks , Pistons , Hornets and Rockets.

    ...but then their pick wouldn't be ours.

    I think the majority here doesn't know the Wizards roster, they are clearly better than us and can make a playoff push.

    Wall-Mack-Price
    Crawford-Beal
    Ariza-Singleton-Martin
    Nene-Vesely-Booker
    Okafor-Seraphin

    Not a bad team, eh?
