    There were whispers of Denver moving Ty last season. Something about him not being alpha enough, not aggressive enough for Shaws taste. Ty was a Karl guy, Karl is gone now.

    I have some concerns because he can't shoot, but I am intreagued by the defense and his court vision; I can see him getting Dwight the ball deep in the paint reliably.

    Could it be Chris Paul?

    No doubt he'll have to improve his mid and long range shooting to keep defenders honest. But jason Kidd did it. Kyle Lowry did it. Lots of PG's have done it, right?

    Rubio is seeking the Max, which is a joke. I'd take him for a decent price and if he got a real shooting coach. His defense is great and his passing is tremendous. That shooting though....geez.

    Neither of those players was ever horrible at finishing near the rim like Rubio.

    While I think it's possible to improve jump shooting, finishing near the rim seems like a skill you either have or you don't.

    I've bolded the only PGs I think would be remotely available at some point this season. The others are pretty much locked in.

    And I hope to God it isn't Ricky Rubio.

    Calderon is decent but not enough of an upgrade over Beverley to lose Jones.

    Which leaves us with Rondo, who I don't think we have the assets for but hopefully we can get it done.

    Vegas knows something...I still cant believe that the Rockets are 8-1 and have better odds than the Clips...

    Danny Boy is asking too much for Rondo. He might get cheaper by the trade deadline but that won't help us now.

    And I don't know why you don't have Dragic and/or Bledsoe as being remotely available. They just drafted a PG and then turned around and signed Thomas for 7+ which I don't think they are going to pay 7+ for a 3rd string PG. Someone has to go.

    They know parsons played bad defense and ariza is better. They know Morey plays chess while Cuban plays checkers.

    A lot of money was probably put on the Rockets during the Bosh frenzy.

    Bovada's current odds for the Rockets are the same as the Clips at 10-1...

    I swear, one day people will learn that vegas odds are based on the money that will come in.

    I don't think George Karl knows a damn thing about what the Rockets are doing.
