    McHale's answers are all political.

    Yup.

    I believe him 66.7%, that is.

    I think Martin, Patterson Lowry Jones will be moved for a player or players and picks.

    White and Lamb stay tho.

    obvious this day didn't work out the way the Rockets hoped.

    But it is what we all knew. Just as I said earlier this week, it was a pipe dream to think Howard would be coming here...or anyone else.

    Frankly, this is the best possible scenario for us.

    All we have to do now is find a way to dump Martin, Scola, and lowry and we are all set to begin a great rebuilding process.

    We traded Dally a few days after Morey said that we're keeping him and that he's good value for his contract.

    Impossible to go into next season with all the players we have right now.

    One thing is for certain. We have a TON of assets. ;)

    But seriously we really do.

    I think there is a good chance all 3 are on the roster at training camp. Any trade now will involve high salary players like Scola and Martin to match money with trade partner, Lowry possibly for a pick from today and cap relief. I like the picks honestly. We got our SG of the future in Lamb, who has possibly one of the highest ceilings out of all the players in this draft, and 2 very solid and versatile SF/PFs in White and T. Jones. Though I would have preferred Perry Jones III at SF, Terrence Jones looks like the more solid player and has proven more than PJIII. White is as versatile as any player to come out in awhile, especially at his size. I think these are 3 great picks by the Rockets building for the future. Our Center will come via trade and future draft picks. Everyone is just pissed cu we didnt jump into the Top 5 and reach for Drummond or trade half the team for DH12. We may still get him, but for where we were drafting, the Rockets did well. Much better than 2001 when we pissed away 3 similar 1st round picks...

    I hope Morey realizes these trade games he and his front office play are really not making Houston a more desirable location for Free Agents.

    He has to say that so they will play their hearts out in Summer League while we are showcasing them.

    I'm definitely going to Vegas now. Join us Jeff! It will be awesome.

    A legendary Jeff thread!

    McHale might be right and we might trade the older forwards on our team away.
