Honestly, I think you are right. I was just going with who will stay...not really the rotation.

As for Novak, I think they were hoping he would have a great summer league to up his stock for trading.

Even so, he could be on the roster and be sent down to the Dleague also. He's only played a year so they could conceivably send him down.

Harris is just too much fun to watch to let him go!! They did that to me last year with Buike!! They can't do it again!!

Not very likely cause he's probably going to be there franchise player.

Maybe we should let Mutombo retire in peace? There isn't much more he can do and now he's in an uptempo system.

Actually, The Chron.com already said they're "trying to find JLIII a home" Morey also has said they wanna use Sura's contract in a trade, Luther's shooting is somewhat 'coveted'. I can pretty much GUARANTEE Novak isn't going anywhere, BULLARD 07 isn't being tradedEveryone in the Orgn. seems "Sold" on giving Bonzai Bonzi another chance??? Not too sure about how that's gonna work out frankly, too many egos here now...w/ MJ, Rafer, Bonzi Yao, Tmac, Scola? das alotta Testesterone in one lockeroom

They're going to have to move some bodies to the NBDL, and balance Youth, Shooting, Skills, Chemsitry, and Athleticism all at once; I do not Envy Pretty Ricky aka Coach Adelman - pretty Ricky's what dey call him . . . CUTS - REED HARRIS???(maybe not SNYDER better watch-out)

TRADES- LUCAS, HEAD, SURA (this may come in a Sign/Trade for who knows??? Morey has been like Ice not letting on about his plans? Cool... )

On the Fence - ALSTON, SNYDER, HARRIS, BUTLER, DKE - Decisions are not concrete on any of these guys I bet. I haven't Heard Rick talk much about Rafer at all, or much about Kirk. I've heard Morey talk about Dke a little and Butler, Harris has been lots of good reports and was invited to training camp. He looks better every time I see him. He could play the 2/3 as a backup, can rebound/shoot better than Kirk?HIMMMNnnn sounds like a training camp issue? RAFER is a solid PG and could be traded easily to any team needing a PG like CLE/CHA/ATL/ORL/MIL but is it a good idea? Personally I DONT THINK SO...unless you really get something Great like a 1st rd draft pk or a great shooter/player, don't bother.
Rafer is younger than MJ, James could get hurt easily with more mins. Brooks will hit a wall, Skip you know can play 40mins and never miss a beat? No TOs, can pass.

Actually I think Hayes will be our starting PF at least for the first third of the season. When Scola gets used to NBA basketball, then he will start.

Block

It may work. It would be interesting if we can swap them in and out, like Hayes again Haslem builds.

debarge

I tend to agree, Hayes may be the starter for like the 1st month or so,then go with SCOLA. But Rick seems like a FAIRER COACH THAN JVG, he's going to go with who plays the best in camp? What's best for the Team, and that may be Chuckie, or Going Small first:

RAFER MJ TMAC SHANE YAO or RAFER TMAC SHANE HAYES YAO
you never know He may through BONZI in the Starting Lineup???

Has Matt Barnes been picked up? What about an S&T for Barnes.



Then you have a rotation of:

C - Yao, Butler, Deke
PF - Hayes, Scola, Butler
SF - Battier, Barnes, Novak, Harris
SG - McGrady, Bonzi, Snyder
PG - James, Alston, Brooks

Trade - Sura, Head, Reed for Barnes
Trade - JLIII for a second round pick
NBDL - Landry

Here is your 15 man roster.

Krimzon

If Mutombo wants to stay, go ahead. I'm not sure if he'll have the fire he had when Yao was out, but he will help us. If he wants to retire, they he should do so without us holding him back.

jworth

As old as Mutumbo is, I don't think Butler is ready to do what Deke can do for us. In fact, I don't think Butler will ever be at Deke's level. As long as Deke can produce off the bench, Houston should do everything in its power to keep him.

CrackerJack

i read somewhere that JL3 is 90% on the way out of houston and sura is going to be waived, sorry don't have the link

You should try to send Reed and JLIII to Bobcats for Othella Harrington. Catz need a backup PG and even Reed can earn some minutes in that team. Big O can help with his experience, and he is also a good rebounder. Useful option to backup Chuck and Scola.

That's quite decent really.
I mean, Lucas could have probably fetched more in the past, but with 3 small guards now on the roster he's pretty worthless, teams know he's not gonna be playing for the Rockets this year (barring a trade)
