Rox did a great job of showcasing Lamb and Jones for the Magic. Those two along with PPat and possibly Morris are the players most likely going out for Dwight.
^ The Rockets would be foolish to give up Lamb, they should already be shipping out Martin with a potential trade, why give up the promising SG and Martin or keep Martin when his contract is up after the season and he is most likely gone due to all the front office drama? I like Forbes and Zoran Dragic hustle but no way do I want them to be the starting SG.
This. D-Mo and Lamb have All-Star potential. I sincerely hope the Rockets don't give up the farm to get Dwight, he's fool's gold just like Asomugah was for the Eagles last year and Carmelo/Amare continue to be for the Knicks. Waiting it out, letting the rookies get their feet wet and signing Bynum to a deal next year will put us where we need to be. Thunder 2.0.
Hasn't clinched, if Lilard can put up 30 points again while taking half the teams shots.....someone will vote him higher (still has 2 games to go)
I am honestly super high on this kid right now. Even more than the whole linsanity deal. Those who thought Marcus Morris will become a star, then this kid will become Jordan! But getting serious here, Lamb makes scoring look too easy. After seeing him play in the SL, I cannot believe he dropped down to the 12th spot. He could end up being one of Morely's steals again. Definitely the best SG in this draft. He has proved that he can create his own shot, create separation off the dribble and shoot over the top of his defenders, plays well in the passing lanes (Ariza like) and finishes pretty well. Also doesn't heavily rely on the pick to get off his shot. He has good spacing and goes well with the flow of the game. Seems to be putting in effort on defense too. Its a small sample but he certainly ain't garbage. Kid can be real good to really really good. Stoked! Please no trade ok
I hope we just keep/play the younglings and just get young and start over. This draft will be like the 84' draft, but only for the Rockets
I sure feel like an *******. Somewhere in that draft thread I'm pretty sure I made fun of someone for saying we wanted Lillard at 6. I proceeded to be a dick about it. I'm not going to go look for it, but I'm pretty sure it happened. Sorry to whomever that was. I was wrong.
Even though Lillard is going to take over that #1 spot, it was still nice to hear a Rocket(s) being mentioned all week.
it's still just summer league. also, the two big men rookies with the most potential are on Olympic teams right now. nice so far, but none of them has proven they are in 'essence very early lottery picks' yet.
