    I'm gonna try not to fall in love with any of these picks, although im pretty stoked about Jeremy Lamb, and Royce White is growing on me. But it's gonna be a very busy summer so I'd be really surprised if we have all 3 of these guys to start the season.

    Morey always has more information than we do and it's gotten us three straight lotteries working on a fourth.

    The Rockets will make a run at Hibbert, Asik, McGee, Brook, Kaman or Hawes.

    That's crazy. We have a hole in the middle the size of Rush Limbaugh's mouth.

    Yeah, because you know, that's all his fault and everything. Nothing to do with pre-existing circumstances and injuries to top players.

    And Meyers/Zellers is supposed to address that need? I'd rather address that need through trade/free agency so we can get a proven vet. There's a reason Morey didn't draft a center.

    Failed Raptors trade for 8 and Drummond?

    How did the Rockets not manage to swing a deal with the Raptors? This one has me stumped. All the analysts agree the Raptors reached when they selected Terrence Ross at 8. Ross still would have been available at 12. New Orleans and Portland weren't taking him. Not sure about Detroit.

    We could have made a simple trade of 12 and Parsons or Morris for Toronto at 8 and selected Drummond. I think that gets the deal done - no Lowry necessary. I believe Drummond was the key to a future Dwight deal, since we could at least sell him as a future potential star center. At worst, he would be a center for us to develop and give us hope of a star about.

    I understand the Kings weren't going to play ball with us, but I'm really surprised the Raptors weren't game for our offer. I wonder what it was exactly.

    Rumor is that they think Nash will sign with them making our malcontented PG Lowry moot.

    They had no guarantee that Ross would be there at 12. At all.
