    I saw on Monters Draft Board - somebody posting that Houston & Chicago are talking about a trade involving: Cato and #9 (and possible more) for Chicagos #4. I think Floyd might consinder this (because he knows if there is any potential in Cato), but I dont think Krause would.

    We can dream, huh!!!!

    Cato and possibley Demarr for Fizer and Miles? No thanks. Trade Cato and 9 only if it lands us Kenyon or Stromile. Or either Cato or nine and something else for Fizer or Miles.

    I'd throw Mile's name in there with Swift and Martin. He's THE potential superstar in the draft.

    I think moving Cato along with the 9th pick to get Miles is not in the Rockets best interest. Miles is the type of talent that makes you drool, but he is not near as advanced in his game as Kenyon Martin or Stromile Swift. Miles has incredible upside but still involves significant risk as there are plenty of areas in which he needs development. Thus, to get Miles I'd be willing to part with Thomas/Williams/Drew/9th pick etc. but not Cato.

    i think miles upside is greater then martin and is just as good as swift. he probably won't be able to contribute much his first season but in 5 years i think he'll be remembered as the best player to come out of this draft.

    Is it possible to trade players (Williams -Drew-Cato) and next years 1st pick to move up to #3 or #4 ? I guess I am greedy I want to move up and also Keep the 9th pick for this year.Would that be to much to pay( don't know whether or not the #1 draft pick will be lottery or not) Can we afford to pay two #1 picks under the salary cap?

    We have a soft cap. You can ALWAYS sign your draft picks.

    The more lefties on your team, the better.

    Draft Moiso. Trade Moises.

    Trade or bench Kenny Thomas.

    Just my opinion but I think if we tade cato and the 9 to move up to the 4 or 5 and we know Martin or Swift will not fall that low I think the Rocks will go after Mhim. I hope he is not as soft as I think he will be.
