    you do realize the draft lottery has already happened right?

    that is why we know that Memphis has the #2

    Seems like we have been here before... A player drafted at #2 that does not want to play for Grizzlies. Hmm ;)

    Honestly i think the Grizz might be trying to get rid of Rudy Gay and just build around O.J. Mayo plus they're probably not going to resign Rudy after next season anyway.... if we manage to offer a good package i hope we get rid of Brian Cook i just don't feel he fits into what this team is trying to do...

    I would rather trade Tracy for an established player with a bad contract as opposed to starting a ROOKIE...

    bad contracts are usually designated for bad players...

    a player of rubio's potential only comes every so often

    Not true at all.


    Overrated players maybe, but usually they have to do something great to get those contracts.


    Consider this. Who would be better for the Rockets next season?

    Baron Davis+Camby or Kaman? Vince Carter? Caron Butler? Stephen Jackson+Corey Maggete+Ronny Turiaf? Gerald Wallace+Boris Diaw+Desagna Diop? Michael Redd+Dan Gadzurich?

    Or Ricky Rubio and Darko?

    If we could get Ricky or James Harden without giving up Tracy, I am on board!!!!!!


    IMO I would take "X player" 100% of the time despite the short comings...
    Rubio is a project, and I do not think we have the time to wait. Yao is peaking, Ron is peaking, Shane is peaking, Luis is peaking. We do not have that much time to win...

    very well put..and took the words rite out of my head!...that is what im saying! WE are not in rebuilding stage. WE were damn near 1 game away from the finals (takin we would have beat DEN).... WE need established players. Why trade tmac's worthy contract for some unprove commaditiy..wen we are going to have wayyy better opputitunies to improve the structure of this very very good team. Thats why yall guys are not GMS or ne thing makin ROCKETS DECISIONS for that matteR!.. MOREY knows wats he is doing, and i kno for a fact, he is not going for the #2 pick or ne pick for that matter, cuz we dont need it! :D

    the Rockets will not use the pick fellas. Morey is about smoke screens and snatching players that other teams want.

    Morey did it with Batum and he did it with Dante Greene. Portland wanted Batum, Sac wanted Greene.

    He will package the pick to bring in someone special ;)
