    What is everybody's opinion on the Rockets trading the bench to get up in the draft. Look at the trade for Stoudmaire (that didnt work) & the trade for francis (that did). It seems that the Rockets each year, will do what ever is necessary to give us an allstar line up. Look at last year, if Pippen didnt start bad mouthing Barkley - we would of had this line up:

    Francis
    Anderson
    Pippen
    Barkley (if he was healthy)
    Oloujawan (if he was healthy)

    I hope they can pull off a blockbuster trade (minus Fracis) to get up to Swift or Miles.

    i'd say the only untouchables are francis,anderson, and olajuwon (sentimental reasons)

    I might be in the minority, but I think we can move up to #3. Martin and Swift will go first. We can grab Miles. Just a hunch. The Clippers still have time, but they have tried out no one worthy of a Top 3 pick, and nbatalk mentioned Elgin Baylor's apparent disinterest at the camps (while the Jerrys were watching every little detail of players on the court). Of course, it could also be my wishful thinking. Possibly Drew (LAC likes him) plus #9 (we draft for them) plus KT plus future Det. pick.
    Maybe just wishful thinking on my part and too much speculation as I wait for draft day. But I can hope.
