    Hollic is somewhere watching the draft, masturbating furiously to the though of Rubio coming to the Rockets.

    I don't have a Rubioner, but really, you cannot argue that he would contribute to our current team.

    PG: Rubio
    SG: Harden
    SF: ? (Maybe Beas.)
    PF: D-Mo/Pekovic
    C: Capella/Pekovic

    That's running a much better five than this year.

    I would take Rubio for Brewer and a 2nd. Anything else is overpaying.

    Sorry for the typos. Gotta drink during the draft.

    I doubt Pek can run much any more and being marginally better than last year's team isn't saying much.

    Btw in your lineup no one outside of Harden can shoot the 3 ball consistently and at a high %. Try again.

    This line-up leaves out Ariza (who may likely be gone). If he is there:

    PG: Rubio (28 minutes), Beverley (10 min.), Harden (10 min.)
    SG: Harden (30 minutes), Ariza (10 min.), KJ (8 min.-- IF he isn't moved)
    SF: Ariza (20 minutes), Beasley (20 min.), Deep Bench (8 min.)
    PF: DMO (22 minutes), Pekovic (15 min.), Deep Bench (10 min.)
    C: Capella (30 minutes), Pekovic (15 min.), Deep Bench (3 min.)

    They're willing to give up on Rubio given that Dunn was just drafted. They're asking for Rubio + Pekovic's contract for basically nothing as it stands but picks-- and late picks with non-guarantees are all the can afford right now. They want cap relief. Give 'em Brewer or Ariza (both cost about the same) + late picks. Makes sense.

    Here comes Rubio. More news throughout week.

    Not saying I'm a huge fan of this move, but it will happen. If not, Lin likely.

    Thats a sad lineup thats destined for the lottery. I hope Morey gets someone that can be a secondary ballhandler in Free Agency.

    Not an insider like cyber, hollic, cod, etc. I've got mid-level sources throughout (Rockets staff, Mavs staff, and surprisingly a couple ex-college hoops players who started with many stars, that are buddies with both me and the "inside".

    Rubio to Houston is, in fact, possible. Minnesota is CERTAINLY not done but HOU is a potential partner. Further, Mileaukee is apparently about to make moves.

    None of these are necessarily going to happen on draft night. This is the little amount that I have. I can get more but need to work it through normal interaction-- we are all same circle of friends.

    Also, only reason I'm sharing this is because I don't consider myself an insider. I have, in the way past, have made a lot of wild trade suggestions. These were strictly my opinion and I didn't start hanging with this group until Summer '13
