    Don't know if this is the right spot for this, but found this interesting bit of info:

    If this is true, is there any way to use our pick + Swift or Howard to get Gordon? He'd be a great addition to the Rockets, in my opinion.

    Of course, I still feel we would need a top 10 pick to nab a PF that can contribute. Perhaps deal someone else to Minny or Atlanta and hope there's still a quality 4 left in the room.

    I like Gordan alot and we desperately need more scoring. But Gordan is a defensive liability, and short, we need height in the backcourt.

    I read on espn.com that maggette might be had on the cheap this summer and he will most likely be gone. He is an ok three ball shooter but could you imagine the other teams foul trouble with Yao, Maggette at the 3, and tracy at the 2. Maybe Stro and #8 for Maggette.How bout it?

    No, but Stro and the #32 for Maggette would be fine. This way Sterling would get an almost first rounder at a non-guaranteed contract. Trouble is, they would have a power forward they don't really need (see Elton Brand) and, unless we draft a PF at #8, the Rockets would really be short-handed at PF.

    McGrady's offensive stats have been significantly worse as a 2 guard, stemming from his days in Orlando.

    Player 48-Minute Production by Position (2003-04, ORL)
    SG - 47.0% FG, 25.7 PER
    SF - 55.4% FG, 30.2 PER

    I agree with Durvasa on this one, let's make sure we keep TMac at the 3.
