    I say if Van Gundy comes in, give him time to get through Mobley and Francis. Mobley is a very talented player and with the right offense, I see him averaging 7 assists and 18 points and maybe even make a bid for the all star team. However, I'll put him on the trading block just to see what offers CD gets.

    ===========================================
    Untradable unless we get the likes of Kobe, Tmac, KG and such
    Francis
    Yao

    Tradable but alot of thought has to be given
    Posey - one of our best defensive players, he can rebound and run the pick and roll well with Yao


    ==========On the trading block=============
    Griffin - has Potential but shows a lackluster desire to win, I am sure alot of teams will be interesting in him

    Mobley - We can't have two Stevie's around, one has to change to complement the team but I can see him changing for the better

    Rice- End of his career, if you wanna clear up space...give us something good and you must take along MoT or M.Norris along with him!!!

    Nachbar - young and athletic player who yet to display his skills, I'll give him some time to prove himself.

    Cato - Has a good year but latter years have proven hes been quite lazy when unmotivated. Also, hes paid way too much.

    =============Must get rid of==============
    Moochie Norris - Is this the NBA or CBA?
    Mo Taylor - Paid way too much for the production he gives out

    ===========free agents==============
    Resign Hawkins for the min or close to min

    Collier - See ya
    T.Mo - I love the terps but I don't think you will be resigned unless its the min.

    With our 44th pick, we pick up Steve Blake.

    This kid is the 2nd best floor general behind TJ Ford. One of the best defenders in college bball, I have yet to see this kid step down from a challenge (ask Jay Williams). The Rockets already had T.Mo and Francis, why not add another Terp.

    You must be kidding with Steve Blake, right? C'mon, this guy probably won't smell the nab and probably don't deserve to.

    What's wrong with you ! Are you on drugs! or You feel that isn't not enough of white guys on the team? Drop the pipe.:confused:

    I like Blake,but he is not a good fit in Houston! he will be buried deep on the bench.

    not lebron james, but maybe a project or someone with a upside. I mean Lewis was chosen in the 2nd rd as well as Mobley,Redd, and Arenas. Its hard, but you can find a quality player in the 2nd rd especially nowdays with the international influx. Ginobilli was a 2nd rd choice as well as Okur.

    Whose to say Blake isn't a prospect. Hes given his time at Maryland and he works hard unlike alot of NBA prospects that will be picked ahead of him.

    Hes better than Chris Duhon, Chris Thomas and hes very comparable to Hinrich (except his shot isn't as developed).

    Blake's profile

    If you guys love the heart and attitude of Juan Dixon, you'll go gaga over Blake
