    Nothing too new but interesting enough to post....

    The Rockets hold the No. 9 pick in this summer’s draft, and the way we hear it, the team definitely will be looking to add a frontcourt player—the more athletic, the better. Florida’s Mike Miller and Michigan State’s Morris Peterson, both projected as small forwards, were mentioned by one Rockets insider Wednesday in a conversation with BasketballNews.com. "But if there’s someone they like better at the 4 or the 5," added the insider, "they’ll definitely take him." Whomever the Rockets take, he’d better be able to run with young horses Steve Francis, Cuttino Mobley and Shandon Anderson. Mobley is a free agent, but most around the league expect him to re-sign with Houston. We’re told the Rockets will try to move up in the draft to take a shot at one of the consensus top picks, but fans shouldn’t get too excited considering how many teams are expected to contact the Nets, Grizzlies and Clippers, who hold the top three selections. … Folks in Louisville, Ky., are becoming more confident that the city has a shot to lure the Rockets franchise, but NBA sources tell us Louisville’s chances aren’t very realistic.

    The best four that will be available for us will be Mike Miller, Morris Peterson, Darius Miles, and Demarr Johnson. I would think that the best athlete available.
