    I call you all to think about what I am suggesting when you suggest players for Houston Rockets.
    If we pick Green as our number 2 pick we will have 4 players all about the same size and young in age
    + great talent. If you have been looking at the playoffs I remind you that we need a couple of tall players to balance
    the height of the team.
    We do already have a great 3 point shooting team
    The team is looking for young talented players Y

    I guess we disagree; I’m confident we’ll have nada to worry about as to that occurring.

    Lady I met said her daughter is good friends with Eric Gordon. He said he's not happy here and wants to go to LA or Dallas.

    You were the one telling me the Nets could outscore everyone and
    I told you defense matters. Now you are preaching defense?

    I assume it would involve one of the later picks, but they can’t just absorb EG, can they? There has to be some sort of salary matching, doesn’t there?

    Nets were a bunch of players that are godlike at offense which can compensate for a weak defense. This poster is talking about one player, a rookie. Defense overall in a team isn't the same as the defensive capability of a rookie

    I disagree. Guys like him who can defend multiple positions and put the ball on the floor are hard to find. He's on minimum contract too. Once he improves his shooting it is going to open up other aspects of his game.

    Blake Griffin, DeAndre Jordan, Nicolas Claxton all hamper the defense as a whole.

    Poor individual defender can sink a team. Joe Harris is not know for defense.

    Yes, I guess I am missing the point. It just takes one weak link for the chain to break.

    What a coincidence! We’re not happy he’s here, either. He better add a third team to his list, because if the Pacers are willing to take him, he gone.

    So take the lesser player and not try and give yourself some cushion?

    I really don't understand why people are trying to build a competitive roster from one draft.

    You need multiple guards and wings and we don't know if KPJ is gonna stay on track.

    I don't know anything about these guys but I am not drafting for fit with whoever goes #2.

    Especially with a team who has no cornerstone players.

    Lady I met said her daughter is a Rockets fan
    She said she isn't happy with EGO here, and would send him anywhere that would take him for free.

    Sadly seems unlikely anyone would take him without compensation
