    Okay, well I counter that if chemistry problems were so drastic, they never would've made it to the Finals. Especially playing the Spurs, who are supposed to have the best team chemistry.

    The Rockets lost by 40 in game 7 against the Mavs -- for a team that was supposed to have incredible team chemistry. So I think it's a pretty big leap to say that they had chemistry problems and that's why they got blown out.

    Besides all that, we've heard nothing but good things regarding their team chemistry since the season started/Gasol trade. This was especially evident when Kobe won the MVP trophy. So I don't think it's even fair to say that had chemistry problems at all. They were just the inferior team. Being mentally weak and having chemistry problems are two separate things.

    well it would be the 13th pick and rush should be there. and since they have rudy fernandez coming over this year i dont think they need luther but i'd bet hayes works for them and cap wise.

    i really like the idea of adding pryzbilla too. we would be able to cut yao'sminutes in preparation for the post season.

    I personally was not sitting in on the Richard Hendrix workout and have watched tons of game film on him to say the guy is a reach at #25 and a high second rounder at best. Alot of people before last years draft would have thought Aaron Brooks at #26 and Carl Landry at #31 would have been major reaches and late 2nd rounders at best. Most mock drafts had Brooks and Landry getting drafted in the 50s. I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
