    There's no way the Rockets are getting the #4 pick before the draft starts. Cavs most likely want Beal. If he's taken at #3, then that's when the Rockets can try to make their move up to #4.

    This day is going to take for ever. When do you all think that the first domino will fall?
    I am going to say at 4:30 central, what say you?

    Why would you say that? We have absolutely no information to make that determination... even after the draft.

    Cavs aren't moving 4(unless it's for 2). Cavs want 4, plus another lottery pick.

    Dont see the Rockets keeping all three picks. Looking unlikely they will land a top 10 pick so my guess is we will see a Lowry and mid draft pick(maybe more) for a vet.

    Sam Amico:

    While the Rockets are said to be stockpiling picks with Magic center Dwight Howard in mind, they have not completely given up on the idea of landing Gasol, despite several reports to the contrary. Both the Magic and Lakers would want veterans off the roster, as well as the picks, according to sources. Forward Luis Scola and guards Kevin Martin and Kyle Lowry are Rockets who have drawn the most interest.

    Well... we already moved up to #12 and added #18, so we should be getting a solid haul today no matter what. But I have faith in Morey to get something else done.

    LOL I can't believe all of CF has turned so hard against getting Gasol. He'd still be a great add... if the price is right. I wouldn't give up Lowry for him anymore, and probably not all three draft picks.

    AUSTIN RIVERS
    6-4, SG, Duke
    After dropping a bit, he’s now likely to be gone. The son of Celtics coach Doc Rivers is a bit undersized for a shooting guard, but he’s long-limbed with a good feel for getting his own shot.

    The price wouldn't be right. The media keeps saying how LA is asking too much for him (top 10 pick + established vet) and yet they think the Rockets would take the bait. If we did take Gasol, I'm sure we'd give up way too much, and we would be suckers. I have zero interest in acquiring Gasol.

    I feel like we lowball other teams in the beginning and then we start to get desperate and end up giving up too much. Idunno. We haven't even gotten a top 10 pick yet. I just don't see anything big happening.
