if we can get a pro like Randolph then obviously he's the one who's going to play most of the minutes. Same with the draft, if Bogut, Vasquez are gone and the rest of the centers are stiffs then i have no problem drafting a PF as long as he's the best player available. Same goes for SGs and SFs.

Out of SF & SG which one do you think we need most. I'm gonna say SF because TT & Penny will be gone and we dont know if Ariza is going to have a good enough jumpshot to be a starter. We have Crawford at SG or we can find a good shooter SG with our second round pick.

Here is a recent article about Diaz if you have not seen him play this year.

In the article , one of the announcers says he has a 41 inch vertcial leap, but he was actually measured at 47.5 with his AAU team and Rivals scouting services listed his vertical at 46 inches. He stands 6-2 1/2 185

I'm so glad Nazr is gone because people were thinking he was the answer and center and you don't win a championship with a backup center as your starting center.

I don't know what we are right now, I really don't. We literally have undersized 5 PF's. I don't know if we can get a C through the draft. I'm hopeful like anyone else that we can win the lottery so they don't have to think that much in the NSG suites, although they probably will fck it up anyway.

But the bottom line is, really you cannot draft by position when you are this high, unless the talent= out. It's like saying, well we have Jamal Crawford and Marbury, but Dwayne Wade couldnt help the team more than , lets say Calvin Booth.

We just had smarter people behind the scenes and coaching the team that this whole masquerade the last 5 years as been like a shock.


I mean the statement from isiah that Mo taylor would be a great asset when his contract was in his last year, it just shows is business acumen. hey, doodles, the contracts you just traded were expiring NEXT year! I mean the best you can do is pay an additional 15mm for a guy who was not even allowed to dress? was there 1 reason to rush this deal+++ when you are taking back what amounted to a salary casualty for the rockets--you give them picks--i mean do you follow the nBA????? the logic, the thought process is like demented--thats what scares me here, I think Isiah is a good talker, I think he is showing his IQ is quite average to say the least. I was a HUGE HUGe proponent of hiring Magic Johnson, and I think we shouldve waited for him, gave him time-we werent and HAVENt gone any place anyway! they couldve fired Layden and said we were going to take our time finding the right guy. Now we have a guy who has proven he handles $ poorly, he isnt a high IQ guy, he's a proven shady liar. Thats not what you want in the front office.

The only explanation I can come up with for that Rockets trade is this: I think the supposed KT to Cleveland for Drew Gooden and Ira Newble trade was still alive and Isiah realized that while Drew is long and athletic, he's a little light, so he went looking for size. What he found was Mo Taylor for Vin and Moochie. So Zeke was thinking:

Marbs, Jamal
Jamal, Penny
TT, Ariza
Gooden, Sweets, Rose
Taylor, JYD

But, as we know, Cleveland pulled out at the last minute, probably after Zeke paperwork on the Houston trade. That's the only thing that possibly makes sense to me.
