    Clutch,

    Any clue about who or what we might have to give up? And if so, are you sworn to secrecy on that too?

    Knowing Rudy, he's not going to really tell you who he likes or will draft. I'm pretty sure he is blowing smoke with Miller and actually has an eye set on someone else.

    Clutch, Mike Miller? I'm puzzled by this. My source has told me that the rockets want to get a franchise big man out of this draft. I don't see how trading up and drafting Mike Miller accomplishes any of this.

    I would say they are targeting Swift, however I haven't talked to my source in awhile(Okay a long time, it was way back in All-Star Break).

    For some reason I think the Rockets Coaches have a good relationship going with the Grizzlies managment. So I'm thinking the player will be from vamcouver, I'm going to take a guess.

    Shareef Abdur Rahim

    That would pretty much solidify our small forward position.

    'Booster,

    Remember he didn't say that the player was super special.. just a good young player.

    that rules out shareef.

    They have a good relationship with the Griz management? The entire management staff for Vancouver has just been replaced with a new group. It is too early to tell if they have a good relationship with the management that just started in Vancouver.

    I dont know about you all, but Duncan is definitely not an exiting player to watch. As a matter of fact he might be one of the most boringest. He is also pretty young, and is not in the playoffs. But anyways, Ill take his boring ass on the Rockets anyday. hehehe

    well sampras aint no agassi, but i still think he is alot of fun to watch. well anyways its funny how this topic turned into an argument over the exitement level of sampras. back to the main subject. 2 young and pretty boring players = duncan and raheem

    Okay this is the most replies I have set and actually read through for one post.

    Clutch-when is your period of silence over? How long are we going to be speculating on this?

    Okay now my 2 cents, its a good young player, not a star but still fairly intrigueing. I am going to go with Jerome Williams(I think thats the guy I am thinking of-plays for Detroit, high socks, please tell me if I am thinking of the right person). Anyways he is a poor mans Brian Grant and could really develop into the status of Brian Grant. Has size, rebounds, solid tough defense, and a blue collar worker.

    I know who it is also but I am sworn to secrecy too. I will tell you this much, my sources said that he is much taller than the average man, and also can jump higher than the average man. Thats all I can say at this moment in time....... Till next time.

    Scarface,

    That doesn't help too much:

    The average man is around 6 feet tall...

    The average man can probably only jump 10-12 inches....

    So basically, all you have illiminated in the NBA is Mogues Bogues (however you spell it)...

    Man, Clutch,

    I don't know what it is like having sources that tell you not to spread word, but I'd protect that those relationships. Personally, I would have come in as a bi-uid to spread that. Or passed it on to Popeye to spread.

    thx for the info...but don't jeopardize your contacts for us. the whole .NET is more important than giving us a juicy tidbit.

    Actually, the average man is about 5'9"

    6' is too tall.

    I am going to have to agree with RocketSiv, and go with Jerome Williams. The Pistons are in need of a Point Gaurd (Bryce Drew) and and we will throw in another player.

    It's gotta be Gheorge Muresean, he's a free agent...maybe it's Shawn Bradley (who'll have fun with Walt)! We gotta get them quick, they're 7 footers.
