    The Rockets haven't played a single minute, and I already have to read crap from the Tankers on Clutchfans.

    GTFO.

    I'd tank and draft Andre Drummond. If there is a time to tank it's this year. Shortened season would make it less miserable. Plus if not Drummond the draft is crazy good.

    There are serious players going at least 14 deep in this next draft. If luck shines and we end up with two lottery picks, we're going to have a lot to smile about.

    Especially if we get Perry Jones with the Knicks pick.

    Why don't we find whether the league gets its wish and imposes a "20 and 2" rule under the new CBA before declaring the 2012 Draft as being deep with star talent?

    It very well could be that 2013 is the year you'd want to have those lottery picks.

    Bima...I know everything is up in the air in terms of the new CBA, but what odds do you give that the big 3 free agents for 2012 just end up exercising their player options and stay put?

    We aren't the Chargers, the Rockets have heart. Kyle Lowry will whoop anyone who tries to "tank"

    It'll be tough to say before the system issues are decided. If the owners insert all of the restrictions they wanted, it would be foolish for anyone to opt out of a final year that might pay them more than the next, plus outside teams may be seriously handicapped in extending big deals to outside FAs. S&T might be squashed....even Bird Rights might be lost if Owners go back to their oriiginal proposal.
