    I'm tired of reading articles and posts about Houston is heading to the lottery, our pick belongs to the Griz... So what our we playing for if we are not playing for the playoffs. Our situation does not look to bright other than Ming improving,which he will. I just don't think Griffin is going to be that player that everyone expects him to be. When Cat is on Steve is off and vice-versa. Les won't spend Like Cuban and we our stuck with some high dollar average players other than Yao,Steve and Cat. Mo is looking good but needs to be consistent. The bottom line in the draft is that we have a 2nd round coming to us unless we trade for a #1. We need a miracle... :)

    Are you kidding, Boki!! He sucks !! And to think that we used our 15th pick on him. I have nothing against Boki but they talked so good about him and he is in the doghouse, well now hes hurt, but he makes a great cheerleader. And too think we could have had Ginobli....Damn Spurs

    The Grizz gets our pick but does not get to keep it, it goes to Detroit.

    Remember the Otis Thorpe deal...

    And imagine, we could have had Rashard for him who was real SF. We would have had a lineup of

    Ming/Cato
    Thomas/MoT/Tmo
    Rashard/Rice/Tmo
    Cat/Hawk
    Francis/Moochie.

    We need some new talents this summer and we don't necessarily need the draft pick to get them.

    THis team is on its way up and the whole league knows it. I could easily see some veteran players willing to take less money to play here. Also, with one more summer's work, Boki maybe ready to conribute more. Rudy has said that Nachbar is basically our next year's pick that we got this year. I still have high hopes for Boki.

    The loss of the draft pick could be a good thing for this team. We don't need another young player, period.
