doc says #1 is done so focus on #15. well doc rocket, rocket!!!, and oeilpere what is the cryptic deal on this pick. is their so many possibilities ahead of the rockets that it is hard to list. we need something to work on for the next 24hrs.
with : ming-cato-coller griff-moT-Tmo rice-kt cat-os wink-mooch we will have to trade one of our fowards to make room for him. i would like him, from what i hear. but i think there are some reports that say he may be taken earlier than expected. we may trade to move up to get him. nobody will take moT. doc says we will NOT trade kt. with rice averaging 40 points per game in his summer league, we may be able to trade him and the #15 for a higher draft pick or in a 3-way for a vet sf (odom?)
If we pick a SF at 15, we don't necessarily have to trade one of the 3 PFs prior to the season. MoT is going to miss the first 5 games, and will certainly take time to round into form. We need KT for insurance, at least at the start of the season. Maybe KT goes on the trade block in February before the trade deadline if Griffin and MoT are playing well. Or maybe we keep him the whole year, and just don't re-sign him next summer, as opposed to taking salary in return (given that we should be 2-deep at every position, anyway).
