    Rockets stand pat. They attempt to aquire a pick but nothing comes out of it.

    Chase Budinger is 10 times the athlete Adam is or ever will be. Given the chance to develop he has all star potential. The Knock on him is his heart? Also he hasn't been playing ball for that long he's a converted super athlete volleyball player. I'm a Pac 10 Fan. :)

    That is more probable than anything else.

    We trade into the late lotto and grab Flynn.

    Morey loves those short, quick pg's. This kid is a winner. He may not have the height, but he's great at running the court, he can jump out of the gym with his freaky athleticism, long wing-span, and he's perhaps the most competitive player in the draft. If Landry can net us Flynn, we should make that move.

    But I 2nd what Saleem said ... it's more than likely we don't have a trading partner to get us what we want. Stil, I'd be surprised if we don't buy in late in the draft and take a flyer on someone. Those seem to work out well since Morey's been at the helm.

    This sounds really similar to who we have now in Aaron Brooks.

    I'm guessing that at a minimum, we purchase an early 2nd round pick and possibly a late first round pick. I don't think we'll be able to get into anything 20 or less.

    We need some size in the line up. We should go into season knowing Yao Ming will get INJURED happends every season. I say Hasheem Thabeet He's the solution to this team we should need to pray and hope that T-mac can come back healthy.

    Late 1st round pick and a flyer in the second round.

    I was right about to say something along those lines.

    He is a better passer than Brooks. He looks to make plays and shoot.I wouldn't say he is an ideal PG, but he is a pretty good player and bigger than Aaron too.
    Finishes better around the basket as well.

    If Rockets can somehow get Curry, and another SG we're set. The frontcourt issue is too overblown, we actually are not that good in the backcourt

    Flynn is AB + court vision + leadership!

    He is my pick.

    Yes, yes, I know my thread title is screwed up, the first two words should be omitted.
