He does not seem to understand how draft pick protection works. You just don't hear of other teams giving such poor pick protection as we do.

well considering there was an actual debate about trading rybot for asik last year before rybot's injury, a 1st with any protections is a robbery in the objective (i mean, not taking into account what houston will do with that cap space. just asset for asset)

It may be right. I'll wait and see.

He's a sports writer for the Houston Chronicle. He's been there for like 20 years. He's got sources and is very credible.

There are a handful of players that turn out to be solid that go in the middle of the 1st round of every draft. Always a couple.

But the NBA draft is pretty much a crapshoot unless you have the #1 pick and someone like AD or LBJ comes out and its a no brainer. But other than that, its a crap shoot, even for the top 5 picks in the NBA draft. Middle of the 1st is an even bigger crapshoot.

There are a couple of guys that you can get there every year that turn out to be solid. But if you go through and look at most drafts, most of the guys taken between 10-20 end up being nobodies. Some guys end up being solid, sure. But most dont.

I trust Lowe over whatever these rocket's insiders say. Woj is really the only person I would trust more than him.

It's actually 8.3 against the cap

And no one cares about a pick that's going to be in the late teens

They also have something in the works to get a pick

Now shoo

I don't know much about Asik. What's his offensive game like?

Is he back to the basket, mid range shooter, put backs, combo of them all?

I'm pretty sure we could sign LeBron for a vet minimum and 480 would still call the move dumb.

You said Davis was overrated coming out of college and wouldn't amount to much in the NBA

Half of our starters missed significant time last season..

What was our record when we had everybody healthy?
