    IMO Rivers is a slashing shooting guard trapped in a point guards body. He has high basketball IQ and lots of heart (which can't be taught). His problem is he's not a consistant outside shooter to play the two, and he doesn't pass well enough to play the one.

    I dont know the guy, but if his shooting is his only weakness then thats not a dead loss.

    Shooting can be taught fairly easily.

    If that's the case then why isn't everyone in the NBA a good shooter? Shooting may be able to be 'taught' easily, but it certainly isn't 'learned' easily.

    If all else fails I won't be mad if we just draft Number 8 and 18 and draft BPA. With or without Howard.

    We do need to just let Lowry go though (in trade). Better for the team and respectful to him. Prefer to trade Martina and Scola as well.

    Not scared of rebuilding or Howard.

    I don't feel very confident not having a top 10 pick at this point.

    6 hrs and 42 minutes before the draft starts.

    Maybe people don't fully apply themselves to their craft or think they can get by as-is for a few years? We've witnessed Lowry's improved shooting, particularly his 3-ball and we'll soon find out if Parsons spent anytime this offseason concentrating on his shooting. I think the real question is: "does X have the desire/passion/drive to improve at Y?".

    What the living eff? UNC fans everywhere?

    Rivers measured just as big as Beal/Lamb/Waiters.

    Because many players have huge egos and think they're good enough so they dont try to get better ?

    Kevin Martin + 12 + Patterson for Gay

    Scola and Lowry for Gasol

    16 + 18 + decent filler for Kings 5 or Warriors 7, where ever Drummond falls

    Rockets 2012:

    PG: Dragic/Llul
    SG: Lee (can Gay play SG?)
    SF: Gay/Parsons
    PF: Gasol/Dmo or Leur
    C: Camby/Drummond

    I think we should get Drummond and PJ3.

    And stick with them! (don't trade them)
