    Whiteside on a second round rookie contract is just too good, hope Morey can get him in a trade.

    He's definitely the dropper in this draft. Which is actually great long term for him, as a slight like this is exactly what people with mental redflags need to clean up their act. Plus if we end up getting him its the best possible outcome for him. He can back up Yao playing 10 mins a night and take his time to develop his game.

    There are still plenty of 7 footers left in the pool.

    I'm working on the video from the Draft Party.

    The Party was a lot of fun... Lots of different contests and awards. I got an autographed team ball :cool:

    I hope it's his wingspan which is 7'1??

    Patterson measures up at 6'9.25 and has a vertical reach of 8'11. That's a really good vertical reach.

    Plus he can stick the 3 pointer - has genuine range away from the basket AND worked really hard on his game to develop that facet. A hard worker who can shoot and who defends and rebounds really well? Where do I sign up?

    Since Morey has taken over our franchise I've come to look forward to the 2nd round like never before.

    Man, I can't believe Whiteside is still available. I wouldn't mind ponying up some money for 2nd round to get him. Here is to hoping Alexander will do so again this year.

    Dang, Whiteside's stock is slipping far for someone as touted as him.

    Whitside can't handle more than 10 mins, not if we plan to contend. The other 10 will come by committee from Hill, Hayes and Jeffries.

    They're shopping the POLISH HAMMER. Nobody wants to pay 10M overall for a backup C.

    So has there been any story leaked in regards to the Rockets yet? Or has all the dealing not involved Rockets so far?
