    I don't see this draft helping the Rockets much. I see a be bunch of guys who can be high quality role players and 1 guy who looks like he will be a superstar.

    The Rockets already have a bunch of high quality role players. They need a superstar.

    parlay Marcus Morris, Parsons, and our 1st two picks into a top 7 pick. If we do our homework, we should be able to get a star out of the top 7 picks.

    I don't know? New Jersey Traded a 7th round pick for 3 mid round picks. It worked out pretty well for them and pretty bad for us of course.

    Only because we screwed up the pick. We would have been better off taking Joe Johnson.

    (or Tony Parker, Gilbert Arenas...etc)

    Taking Parker or Arenas with the 7th pick would have been stupid only because we could have hung on to our three picks and drafted Jefferson, Parker and then Arenas all. Hell we could have drafted Zach Randolph in that draft.

    Of course like they say, hind sight is 20/20

    There is no way we can get a lottery pick out of this pick. I hope its still in the teens though.

    Knicks on the way to another loss? Melo shooting 1 for 8 right now.

    IF the Celtics win, the two picks should get better right?

    By next week, we might be able to create the Rockets version of the thread.

    Haha true. Last week they were about to be the 3rd seed. Now a few more losses could be around the 8th pick. Weird stuff

    Lin was a potential star when we got him, he is a star now

    Heck no we can't. Like the 8th playoff spot in the west, the losing teams are in a fierce battle of tanking. The 8th and 9th spot taken by Toronto and Cavs, their record is like 12-26 and 13-23, there is to way we can get into the top 10. The best we can hope for is the 11th and 12th range, with utah and the suns still in it in the playoff hunt.

    Well you are probably right about #8. But the rockets are exactly two losses out of the 10th pick. Which is where the warriors are at right now.
