    No... Not like Stat... Much bigger than STAT and not as explosive.

    he'd be a fool for trading an unknown commodity that may never amount to anything in the nba, but trading an established, borderline all-star caliber player, who you think the kings need because he's significantly better than an up-and-coming young pg who is also good makes him smart? odd.

    Not gonna happen. Parsons is the only safe Rocket.

    Let's not forget we traded Carl Landry once upon a time. nobody's untouchable.

    I would do it. Tyreke is a potential all-star waiting to explode under the right management. He is a 20/7/6 player.

    no problem with all that you said except the parsons part :( i sure hope Rockets wait it off and wait till about the 3rd pick and put the Kings under pressure to take a lesser deal... Parsons is a solid starter and he was just a rookie.

    Parsons would be hard to part with but who knows, we might trade for a SF or draft Barnes. Starting line-up:

    Dragic
    Tyreke
    unknown
    D-Mo
    Camby

    or

    Dragic
    Tyreke
    Morris
    D-Mo
    Drummond

    If Parsons is traded, were going after Barnes or MKG at 5.

    I wouldn't include Parsons in a deal unless MKG was available at 5. I really don't want to draft Drummond for Orlando and then get stuck with a slightly better Thabeet.

    You guys over value role players waaaayyyyyyyyy too much.

    Tyreke was a top 5 player selected and rookie of the year, dude can still ball, even with him being a ball hog.

    Do you know how hard it is to move into a top 10 pick, let alone top 5? Put it this way, Morey has been trying his ass off for the past 3 years....

    Dragic/FA
    Tyreke/Lee
    Perry Jones/Morris
    Motie/Ppat
    Camby/Drummond

    Draft Drummond with 5 and Jones with the 12. Resign Lee, Dragon and Camby.You still have Scola/Martin to play with for picks/trade.

    That deal is likely because I dont see how Thomas Robinson is still there for them to pick. Hopefully it goes down like the Rockets want it to.

    So we'd be left with the 5th and 12th picks? We could easily draft a replacement for Parsons at #12, or even trade down to get two picks in the 20s for that #12.
