    Terrence Jones, Parsons, Morris, Raps pick, our pick for Howard.
    We still would keep two probz best players D-Mo and Lamb and we would get an all star in Howard, we already have Lin. As Someone said no one declined max offer, so I assume Howard would stay. The last thing we would have to do is to find a experienced SF, like Kirilenko for a 2yr deal.

    Lin
    Lamb
    SF
    D-Mo
    Howard.

    Yeah, Jones is a serious player. I really like his game and how he's looked so far in the Summer League. If the Rockets don't get Howard/Bynum, they have some damn good building blocks in the 3 kids that we drafted in the first round this year.

    Nope.

    Reports from last week say they get ONE of the 3.

    Obviously they'll go after Lamb.

    I think Morey should basically pull 'em all of the table (the rooks) and trade 2 1st rd picks, Martin, Morris, Patterson and the one that will hurt most.....Parsons.

    Throw in a couple 2nds and call it a day.

    Take it or leave it ORL.

    We had a disappointing draft because we failed to move up to the top 5. Drummond? Who knows. But is says nothing about the picks.

    These rookies are amazing. I always liked Lamb and Jones from their college days. I like how Donuts plays. White can be a good player but havent seen enough to know. I wouldnt mind giving up White or Parsons and Ppat, martin, morris but I wanna keep jones, lamb, and donuts. I'm not as interested to see Lin play with Howard for a year like most of you are. I rather see these rookies get better because they are just kids like me and if their mentality is right they can do great. I hate the Lin signing because personally I think he is overrated. Especially for that kind of money.

    this is turning out to be a golden draft calss for the Rockets.. the draft officials were right when they said this was the deepest draft in years, and look whose benefitted most :cool:

    thank goodness Donuts cant go anywhere, and we must keep Lamb at all costs.. hate to see Royce or Terrence go but its part of doing business.. but please trade for Bynum Morey

    White is the most unique rook we have, so it makes since that hes had more of an adjustment with his rare talent/skillset, none of these guys can really be graded better or worse, depends on what you value more IMO, Id rather lose Jones than White tho, he has a more replaceable skillset

    One concern I have with DMo is that he needs/likes the ball in the post. Well, if we have Dwight/Bynum clogging the lane themselves, there won't be much room for him down there. Look at how Pau Gasol has regressed ever since Bynum became a dominant center. Gasol, like DMo, need the ball down low to work their magic.

    Doesn't mean a thing if they get traded away for renting Howard or Bynum.

    "The problem isn't that he doesn't like Lin, the problem is that he posts about it in every f***ing thread in an extremely obnoxious way, including threads which have nothing whatsoever to do with Lin."

    what does this have to do with our new pg?

    I agree that this team could be bad enough to net us a top 5 pick.
