    What number does Victor want? Because we should go ahead and trade away that guy.

    #1 had bad karma. I'm convinced that's why he shot so poorly. He was mad he didn't go number 1 overall and got in his own head for the next 8 months.

    Should've just picked 7 or something but happy #10 is back. #10 has good 3 point shooting vibes for the Rockets.

    Jabari performed like a #10 pick so I approve of this change.

    Sam Cassell is pissed.

    I'm guessing Rockets great Eric Gordon "owning" it also had something to do with it. Eric had one of his best 3-pt shooting "seasons" after he left here. lol.

    I'm guessing former Rockets legends John Lucas, Chase Buddinger, and Vassilis Spanoulis, Tyronn Lue, Carlos Delfino, Sam Cassell, Purvis Short, etc. ok'ed the jersey number for the young man. :D

    Yeah, if EGo wasn't streaky, he'd be an NBA legend. I was hoping somebody would bite on him. That team is cursed with injuries. The only thing crazier would be if they had signed Chris Paul along the way. I thought for sure Gordon would've gone down with an injury for the rest of the season after he got there.

    Hopefully it helps him defend better and make wide open jump shots.

    Edit: Oh wait, Victor wears no. 1. Jaime Soften will have to go back to 13.

    Let's trade no. 3 anyway.
