2012 NBA Draft Rumors

[tesseractive]

If the Rox acquire two top 10 picks and trade them to Orlando in a package for D-12, I think they will rue the day that happens. With his back issues, I wouldn't touch him with a 10-foot pole tbh. I doubt he will be the same player he was prior to getting injured (which required surgery). He already relied too much on his physical abilities to begin with and has a weak low post game. He used to out run, out quick, and out jump his compe ors. Now? Doubtful.

Offseasons are the time to hone your skills and work on your overall game. Thiis offseason will be spent rehabbing. As a Laker fan, looking at what Bynum has gone through over the years, it's no wonder that his two best years (2007-2008: he was breaking out before Kobe fell on his knee v. Memphis. We were 1st place BEFORE we got Gasol; and 2011-2012: 18/11/2) occurred after an injury free summer. D-12 won't have the luxury of working on his game this summer. When is he cleared to have full physical contact anway?

His God-given abilities will take a hit IMO. How much? Who knows - that's why H-Town should not take the chance. There are several players that were just not the same after surgery. Don't do it Daryl.

The Rockets have had good players but no great ones for too long. It's worth taking a gamble I'd say, because if it pays off, you have one of the few players in the league who could give you a legit shot at the le with the right team around him. Throw in the potential to land D-Will as well, and it's a huge gamble, but a smart one.

If I'm the Rockets I make that deal any day of the week.

I wouldn't want Lowry or Dragic. I would find me a PG who cannot hit for from outside so he's carved out his niche by making plays.

^ it'd be pretty hard to make plays when you don't pose no threat at all on the perimeter imho. don't tell the stranded fishes to learn to breathe in air with their lungs, they don't have no ing lung and they'd just die

[racm]

I want a PG like Nash or CP3 who can hit from deep, drive to the rim, and be able to pass to an open teammate.

League sources said Monday that the Rockets have put guard Kevin Martin in at least two trade packages, and it’s believed that the Rockets are also shopping guard Kyle Lowry, who started at point guard before being sidelined with a bacterial infection that caused him to miss almost a month of the season.......
One league source said the Rockets hoped to make deals for the additional Draft picks using existing players, so they would have as many as four first-rounders they could put in a package to Orlando for Howard. One potential deal, according to a league source, would send Martin to Minnesota–presumably for the Wolves’ 18th pick in the first round–where Martin would play for former Rockets coach Rick Adelman
