If the roster stays as is (highly unlikely), where do you guys expect to finish?

Assuming we get Asik (or even if we don't), I expect us to be one of the bottom teams in the West IMO. Hope that makes us picking in the top 5 of the draft next year. We will be a 30 win team at best, but it will be exciting seeing this team develop since we will be so young. K-Mart is our oldest player at 29.

Kevin Martin has the talent to win you a few games and the Rockets most likely wont re sign him, hopefully you guys move him at the deadline to a contender for some picks.

I'm actually hoping we move him before the season starts. He didn't end the season on a good note. (McHale didn't play him towards the end of the season when he was healthy), and who knows if he is in McHale's doghouse. Hopefully Lamb does what Parsons did last season, and take advantage of an opportunity and end up starting for us most of the season.

I expect KMart to be moved too. His expiring contract will be appealing to a lot of teams out there.
I'd look into a trade for Monta Ellis or Iggy with that expiring contract. Of course Dwight is always going to be an option, but I don't think that's such a good idea.
Other players on his team might be better options tho, especially if you can net both Glen Davis and JRich in the same deal for KMart. That way you can have Glen possibly starting at center, but at the very least getting minutes there. You would also have a reliable backup 2 guard that can space the floor and hit the 3.
I don't think Houston wants those long-term deals though.

I'm thinking Kmart is going to the wolves for a 1st round pick. They have struck out in finding a 2 guard and he would fit great with tge players they have

If the 2nd round pick we got from Charolette is for next season, its almost like having an extra 1st and will surely be in the top 5...we could potentially have what 4 or 5 picks in the top35?

Yep. It's next year's pick.
We would be stacked with picks next year if everything works out.
Raptors 1st
Mavs 1st
our first
Grizzlies first
2nd rounder from Bobcats
our 2nd rounder (I think)

Is Chandler Parsons gonna start for you guys this year? I am glad to see him doing good in the NBA.

Yep. He was our starter last season, and he hasn't done anything yet to lose his job. He had a pretty solid rookie campaign. He still needs to improve his free throw shooting though. He made Chuck Hayes look respectable shooting free throws.

Parsons is quite the enigma. How somebody can shoot the 3 well but brick free throws is beyond me.

Me neither. Still think he needs to work on his form too. His release looks kind of awkward when you see him shoot. Hopefully he has worked on it during the offseason and will work on it during training camp and pre season.

And the Knicks 2nd rounder, what is the Memphis stipulations?

How did we get a first from Memphis?
If we make the playoffs do we give up our first to new Jersey?
We are so stacked with young talent and picks, I think we will be able to rebuild pretty quickly. And who knows may Jermey Lin becomes the star we have been searching for!
