    In hindsight:
    I would've traded Sampson for Drexler and the 2nd overall pick in the 1984 draft.
    I wouldn't have traded Jefferson+scrubs for Eddie Griffin in the 2001 draft.
    ...but I won't give up hope on Royce White yet. He's not making it very easy to root, but it's still only November and I'm still willing to wait and see what happens over the next couple of years.

    12th Kendall Marshall because we have no back up PG what so ever.
    16th Terrence Jones
    18th Jae Crowder.... Kid can play.

    Yep. This looks especially sensible given how solid Teague has been for the Bulls, after getting rotation minutes at PG with Hinrich out due to menstrual cramps. And even that much more sensible beyond that given that...Toney Douglas...would go on to be the Rockets' current back up point guard.

    Zeller, Sullinger, PJIII, etc. this royce white situation is ridiculous. And apparently Matt Bullard is saying mental health appointments were set up for him, yet he still has excuses not to show up. I'd like to know what goes on White's mind.

    I would pick him anyways. Because you see kids if Royce White was never drafted by the Rockets, I would never have had anything to talk about with the girl in the pink rockets shirt at McLerens bar. And I would never have met you Mother.

    How would the trade with OKC be potentially affected in this scenario? I'm sure they like Lamb more than any of those picks you made... and, I like Kendall Marshall as well, but Morey said recently that he thinks, in general, that many NBA personnel over value players such as Kendall Marshall, so I doubt Morey had his sights set on the former UNC PG. I wanted the UNC center, and still do. Royce White is not making me happy. Hopefully he bounces back and entertains us for years to come.

    I like White, but if we had to redo it and pick over, Jones at 16, Zeller at 18. Or a PG like Wroten at 18.

    I think any PG would have been fine. Really I would most enjoy this
    12th T-Jones
    16th Crowder
    18th PJIII

    Perry Jones is almost 7' tall and is a great rebounder so he could have backed up Asik.

    I would pick Royce again, he isnt beyond salvage. Also we didnt get instant results out of Morris and despite everyones complaints he has turned out a descent pick. Put away your jump to conclusions mats. We will know he is a bust when he is kicked from the team, until then just stop..
