    Sullinger is a beast in the paint. Thats what the Rockets lack. Someone who actually can rebound offensively, and defensively, and can score points in the painted area. Im sick of watching a streaky jump shooting team. The Rockets must aquire or draft post players that actually play in the post. Id LOVE to aquire Sullinger.

    Screw all those tweeners hybrid Small/Power fowards . We need bangers down low. It ****ing sucks that when teams go small on us, we have no post up players to abuse the other team. That's what other teams do to us.

    Sullinger and Rivers will both be gone before the Rockets pick.

    Sad thing is, could be the Jazz taking Rivers at 13th. Ugh! They stole the 8th seed and then our pick. The Hornets should've just tanked. Now they just gave Utah a free ride to the playoffs. The same team who doesn't want to give their "Jazz" name back to them. LOL

    I'm hoping Perry Jobes drops to 13 and then take Rivers with the Knicks pick

    13th, 14th, or 15th. Doesn't really matter that much. I just chose 15th. Yes, it could also be 14th or 13th.

    If we only end up with two picks, our SG should be picked in the lottery. That NY pick should be used on a big man. Preferably Meyers Leonard.

    I'd be happy if we end up drafting both Rivers and Leonard. I have a feeling the Celtics would find a way to trade up and draft the coach's son.

    Package a player and one of these picks to move up in the draft. If we lose out we have the 13th pick guaranteed. If Utahe and Phoneix keep winning. That leaves the Rockets with the 13th and 17th pick from the Knicks.

    Package that 13th pick and a player to move up in the top 8. Get a superstar potential player.

    With the 17th pick draft size in Meyers Leonard if he is still there.
