75% LMA comes? Maybe that's a shot at bballholic, meaning LMA is NOT coming to Hou. Not sure if Doc follows the forum that closely though
I would love to get Hunter. He's one of the few missing pieces on this team. Getting love or LMA is a game changer for the whole league. A big 3 of harden/Howard/love or la is the best team in the league hands down. It's easy to be Debbie downers around here but harden is the real deal and other players around the league no that plus for all the hate dwight receives they also no he's a good guy and a defensive/rebounding monster. Any big name free agent ima would pick Houston over other destinations as long as the moneys right. Warriors got no cap space and are set, cavs seem content on their roster just need to get healthy. That leave Houston as the only team looking for this 3rd piece that's really close to a chip and has the right talent to not only accomadate another superstar but put them in position to be the 2nd scoring option in a big 3. No team can offer that, anyone who comes here knows they have to defer to hardrn but also that they can score more than dwight it's very ideal for Kevin love.
No. But keep an eye today. The secret of ford and draftexpress success in predicting the draft is that they make a ton of last hour changes as the leaks keep coming. The rest of the mock draft sites dont . Especially about one hour before the draft. But this year with so many trades happening i bet they wont get as many right.
I just meant that I didn't even think about him with the Christmas tree haha. DraftExpress has him at #34 so he definitely could be there, but I agree. If we stay at 32 (big if), we'd be more likely to take someone like Gudaitis or Hernangomez and stash him. Personally, I love Pat Connaughton. Second highest vertical ever at the combine, shoots the three, and does all the dirty work. The only question is whether he'll stay when the Orioles come calling.

Likely. I just saw an iteration of Ford's mock where he placed him at 38 but hedged his bets by saying he wouldn't be surprised to see him go late in the 1st.
I would hate to gut the team for LA, but I sure I would get over it. I just LOVE what Trevor brings to the team. One of the ONLY guys that never stopped playing hard during some of those blowout playoff games. Plus he loves Houston!
I hope docs right about LMA.... He's been linked to Houston since we got dwight..... Getting LMA makes us the new 10' lakers two skilled bigs one mvp superstar guard. I like our chances against anyone with that team.
Ah... gotcha! Also, I could be totally wrong and having this discussion for no reason at all, so there's that lol.
Man, i hate Doc Rocket. Cyberx is just such a better insider cause he doesn't beat around the bush. If Doc posted like a normal person, he would be way more tolerable. But his act is childish.
We dnt have to gut the team. Its a s+t for an ufa. Portland already seems to have been given a definite answer that hes leaving. They would be lucky to get anything for him. If theres any other chance to match contracts we dont have to give ariza.
