    I read that you said that Oscar, Tierre, and Tito will not make the team.

    Are they concerned about a backup SG? It seems that Tito hasn't been given a chance even though they drafted him. Could you enlighten us a bit more?

    I know that Doc Rocket said the above and I totally respect his insights. But if none of those guys make the team then I see the Rockets needing to pick up TWO more players. I firmly believe that the Rockets want to keep 3 PGs on the team (even if one of them is on IR) and I think that they need to have a backup SG on the team as well. So, with that said, then that means they need 2 more players. Makes you wonder who the Rockets are looking at in FA or in a possible trade. I still think that it is a good bet that EITHER Tierre or Tito will make the team as the 3rd PG.

    I have a feeling that the summer league games will be HUGE for the above 3 players. They have to show what they got!

    So doc rockets says we are keeping kenny despite two players in front of him on the depth chart. Also we are not keeping tierre oscar or tito. Anyone think a trade is coming? Maybe mo taylor for a backup guard or two?

    I don't understand why they would draft him if they didn't think he had a shot at making the team. Do they really need bodies in practice that much?

    Well, they'll keep his rights for awhile. He can go overseas and get some seasoning and perhaps make the team in a future year.

    Trade MoT, Mobes,and Mooch for Miles and Q. No way the Clipps would do it but hey, just a little dreamcasting.

    Where?

    No way none of those guys is a Rocket. Two of them have good experience and the other is our potential Francis backup. Either Doc is talking out of his arse or you guys misread his statement.

    I think Doc is wrong about OT and Maddox, IMHO they will both make the team in some capacity, maybe injured.

    However, I have no source, just a large gut in which to base my predictions.

    I look for the Rockets to play Mo until he's 100% and peaking, then try and move him to lose the big salary and the hassle when Griffin is ready to start (not far off).

    I don't think Doc Rocket is wrong...but clearly we'll see some movement and I'm curious what we'll end up with.

    Unless we could pull RLewis who could we really bring in if none of those guys make the team? We would have no backup SG whatsoever and I don't know if a FA w/ any kind of name would come in to backup Mobley since he plays so much (40+min a game). I've got to see a move to believe it in this case.

    Mo is staying. He is busting his arse to improve. Rudy will give him his chance!
