    I think this guy has tasted the 2nd coming of Lebron one too many times.

    I'm having a hard time trying to keep up with all this. Is Chuck Hayes returning maybe.

    I wouldn't read to much into this. Probably just doing due diligence in case things don't work out as they envisioned tomorrow night.

    Aldridge says the Kings rejected that offer... but I doubt talks would've progressed to that point if there weren't some mutual interest.

    This is good news. I want us to start the rebuild now. If we can move Lowry and another pick, filler, etc. for Drummond and/or MKG I'd be all over that too.

    PJ3 is nothing like LeBron..People like to compare him to TMAC , i just don't see it. doesn't have the same scoring mentality. I see Josh Smith type of player.

    Sources say Baylor's Perry Jones is in Houston for a second visit with the Rockets that was scheduled today. He's in play for their picks (12, 16 and 18) and Houston is smart to operate as if he may become their player if they took him, but source says Orlando also likes Jones and he could become part of a Dwight Howard proposal eventually. Houston has been trying to get into the top 10, but rival execs are of understanding that the Kings aren't biting on bids for the No. 5 pick.

    Berger: Rockets Trying To Trick Trail Blazers? | http://bit.ly/LRWFvk

    "Word in front office circles has been consistent that the Rockets' target is Andre Drummond, although some executives wondered if that was a smokescreen. It's possible that Houston's real target is Damian Lillard, whom the Blazers are believed to covet with the sixth pick."

    Perry Jones to me looks like an extremely poor man's version of Durant without a CONSISTENT jumpshot; not LeBron.
    He can create his own shot, but doesn't have the repertoire you'd like to see coming from a swingman in the NBA. Nor is he a playmaker.
    I'd take a chance on him, but I wouldn't have hopes higher than what Parsons is doing right now.

    One thing I do like PJ3 is that dude is extremely athletic.

    He's one of those Forwards akin to Odom IMO...(Odom has a better shot of course) but he does have a good skillset.

    I'd be happy to take a chance on him...but with a lack of motor AND playing a position we are loaded at with guys like Parsons and Scola, Patterson, D-mo, and Morris...he's not going to get any PT.
