Stuart Scott has made that “Oh, by the way: there’s a draft tonight!” joke about three or four times now.
I miss Stephen A

scouting Ricky Rubio from birth?
Seriously, I wonder if ESPN has tried to fire Stuart Scott, only to have him demand they look him in the eye when they say that, at which point they get confused and leave.
How many Biletnikoffs does he have? NOT TWO!
I realize that was rambling
Stuart Scott wondered aloud if Fran Frachilla was in the delivery room scouting out Ricky Rubio from the moment he was born.
How many Biletnikoffs does he have? NOT TWO!
heh
It’s the secret of his power. Same goes for McGrady.
Actually, I had a professor last year who had a lazy eye like that. I could never tell which way he was looking, and it made things really awkward when he was taking questions. I never knew if he was calling on me, the guy behind me, or somebody on the other side of the room.
Your friendly neighborhood Dreamshake mod.
then if actual laziness was a power
Bonzi Wells would have been a beast

Speaking of the clippers
Simmons’ twitter-screed on Dunleavy this afternoon was epic.
Your friendly neighborhood Dreamshake mod.
it was awesome
all those pictures were money. Plus, his letter to Blake/history of the Clips was fantastic.
How many Biletnikoffs does he have? NOT TWO!
c'mon, Clips
take Thabeet. It’s in your blood, dammit. You know you want to do it.

Just in case anyone cares
Here is a live blog by Jason Friedman who is in the room next to the war room.

Did anyone see the ESPN thing on Griffin's training regimen this morning?
His trainer didn’t want to have his face on camera, so he wore this black face mask. He had Griffin running up sand dunes carrying jugs of water, and the whole thing reminded me of Al Qaeda videos.
Your friendly neighborhood Dreamshake mod.
why doesn't espn put a clock down there
It works for the NFL draft.
How many Biletnikoffs does he have? NOT TWO!
I'm watching on espn360.com
And they don’t. So, sorry if that sounded really dumb to the rest of you
How many Biletnikoffs does he have? NOT TWO!
well, now the Grizzlies have a weird situation with Gasol
Your friendly neighborhood Dreamshake mod.
not really
He played great defense in a relatively tough conference, and his legs are the same size.
Your friendly neighborhood Dreamshake mod.
so is he better?
Or at least, you think the potential is there?
How many Biletnikoffs does he have? NOT TWO!
I have no idea.
But he seems like he’s less likely to be injured all the time. He’s more physically impressive to me, and I think he can come in and be a good defender.
Your friendly neighborhood Dreamshake mod.
I Believe..
you are correct sir….he sounds exactly like yao…lol
"The Houston Rockets is the number one team in the universe...you can ask all my friends from Mars and Pluto." -- Ron Artest
Friedman says...
that he hears that Oklahoma City is goin to pick Harden
"The Houston Rockets is the number one team in the universe...you can ask all my friends from Mars and Pluto." -- Ron Artest
Ricky Rubio
looks a little bit nervous…
"The Houston Rockets is the number one team in the universe...you can ask all my friends from Mars and Pluto." -- Ron Artest
well, this is what he wanted, right?
He wanted to go to Sacramento, rather than Memphis or OKC.
Your friendly neighborhood Dreamshake mod.
with Harden
They have Westbrook at the one, Harden at the two, Durant at the three, and Green at the four. If they had gotten Tyson Chandler, they would be a scary young team.
How many Biletnikoffs does he have? NOT TWO!
I still think they're going to go after Gortat
that would be cool.
A very offensively-inclined team.
Your friendly neighborhood Dreamshake mod.
I guess no one wants to play in Minny
but right now they’re going twice.
How many Biletnikoffs does he have? NOT TWO!
hmm
didn’t want to play in OKC. didn’t want to play in Memphis. Doubt he’ll want to play in the twin cities.
Your friendly neighborhood Dreamshake mod.
if they got Curry
they’d be the most interesting rookie tandem in a long time, if not ever
How many Biletnikoffs does he have? NOT TWO!
Christ, that would be cool
Rubio setting up Jefferson and (to a lesser extent) Love; kicking it out to Curry.
I like that a lot.
Your friendly neighborhood Dreamshake mod.
I think they were hoping Harden would be here
so now they may have to go with another PG-type player, a la Curry
How many Biletnikoffs does he have? NOT TWO!
Love all these next T-Wolves coach talk
with Mark Jackson right there
How many Biletnikoffs does he have? NOT TWO!
So much....
for picking Curry
"The Houston Rockets is the number one team in the universe...you can ask all my friends from Mars and Pluto." -- Ron Artest
that would be ballsy
but I doubt it. You never know, though.
Maybe they want to deal one of them.
Your friendly neighborhood Dreamshake mod.
I'm laughing at
how Flynn smiling means he has a “Great Demeanor”.
How many Biletnikoffs does he have? NOT TWO!
So I guess we might find out if the Amare-to-GSW rumors are true.
Your friendly neighborhood Dreamshake mod.
GSW selects
Stephen Curry
Knicks fans are mad

this is still not a done deal
GSW can still do this deal with amare and curry included…

Damn...
New York really wanted Curry…
"The Houston Rockets is the number one team in the universe...you can ask all my friends from Mars and Pluto." -- Ron Artest
I knew it
Nellie would love a guy like Curry.
“Okay, Stephon, this is what we do in Oakland. Just. Shoot. Threes.”

also
is it possible that Knicks now want T-Mac even more now that curry is gone?

The Knicks fans
will be so pissed if LeBron stays in Cleveland next year. I wish they could all be in the same room if that happens, so I can hear 10+ million people groan at once.
How many Biletnikoffs does he have? NOT TWO!
it's the stupidest shit, too
the whole “Lebron is going to NY” thing is entirely made up by the NY media.
Your friendly neighborhood Dreamshake mod.
it's only fueled
by LeBron keeping quiet about it, though I wouldn’t be surprised if David Stern a certain someone told him to stay quiet to keep the attention going.
How many Biletnikoffs does he have? NOT TWO!
So who..
do yall think the Knicks are goin to pick
"The Houston Rockets is the number one team in the universe...you can ask all my friends from Mars and Pluto." -- Ron Artest
Knicks take Jordan Hill
Boooooooooooooooooo by fans

"I don't know what they're booing about"
JVG, you coached there for years. You know exactly why they’re booing: they’re freaking New York!
Your friendly neighborhood Dreamshake mod.
DeRozan won't be that good
but the Raptors needed someone. Is there any doubt Chris Bosh bolts next summer?
How many Biletnikoffs does he have? NOT TWO!
"how does tonight change their situation"
well, it doesn’t cure their Lupus, if that’s what you’re asking.

Freidman says:
“Rumors are swirling that Golden State chose Stephen Curry as part of a deal with Phoenix, and a separate rumor has New York moving to acquire Rubio. Both potential deals would make sense… "
"The Houston Rockets is the number one team in the universe...you can ask all my friends from Mars and Pluto." -- Ron Artest
apparently
Curry might be going to Suns for Amare, according to Yahoo Sports
How many Biletnikoffs does he have? NOT TWO!
lol
clutchfans is all up in arms because nothing has happened.
lol they’re all retards.
Your friendly neighborhood Dreamshake mod.
favorite thing about CF:
the way any statement by Morey is twisted and scrutinized for hidden meanings. And, of course, those hidden meanings are always “We’re going to trade T-Mac.” or “We’re going to trade Yao.”
However, this “OMG NOTHING’S HAPPENING ROCKETS ARE TANKING 2010” thing is pretty great, too.
Your friendly neighborhood Dreamshake mod.
wow...
Brandon Jennings..higher than I thought
"The Houston Rockets is the number one team in the universe...you can ask all my friends from Mars and Pluto." -- Ron Artest
it's gonna send more people to europe now
would BJ have gone so high if he’d played at Zona?
How many Biletnikoffs does he have? NOT TWO!
maybe,
maybe he’d have gone higher. Scouts would certainly have gotten a better look at him.
Still, I think it will send more to europe, too. And I hope it works, because the current age rules suck balls.
Your friendly neighborhood Dreamshake mod.
T-Will
is a good pick. He’s a leader, too. There was a great SI story about him in March
How many Biletnikoffs does he have? NOT TWO!
I'd say
Larry Brown probably likes Gerald Henderson and Sam Young. They’re his kinds of players, but unfortunately MJ makes the decisions there.
How many Biletnikoffs does he have? NOT TWO!
I like this
this is good for them.
I also like the “Duke sucks” chant.
Your friendly neighborhood Dreamshake mod.
I Knew..
they were goin to pick Hansbrough..
"The Houston Rockets is the number one team in the universe...you can ask all my friends from Mars and Pluto." -- Ron Artest
I was so hoping that he'd go to the Jazz
fish-eyed bastard.
Your friendly neighborhood Dreamshake mod.
Haha..
that picture of him bleeding was funny..looked like he was goin to cry…he would have gone well with the Jazz
"The Houston Rockets is the number one team in the universe...you can ask all my friends from Mars and Pluto." -- Ron Artest
best clutchfans comment ever
How many Biletnikoffs does he have? NOT TWO!
lol
Jennings showed up. They said he was worried about doing the Rashard Lewis thing.
Your friendly neighborhood Dreamshake mod.
thats messed up...
bringin in Jennings when Earl Clark was picked…haha
"The Houston Rockets is the number one team in the universe...you can ask all my friends from Mars and Pluto." -- Ron Artest
Lol...
Dont think Stern would have liked that….
"The Houston Rockets is the number one team in the universe...you can ask all my friends from Mars and Pluto." -- Ron Artest
it would have been great.
Jennings comes out, announces the pick, and then has the crowd greet Stern as “10th overall pick Brandon Jennings”
Jennings sounds like Chapelle on helium.
Your friendly neighborhood Dreamshake mod.
umm ok
earl clark isn’t here, but Brandon Jennings is!!!
Was the crowd supposed to go wild?

YES!...

what? Daye?
Everyone hating on Lawson just because he’s Brooks-sized.

what about...
Jrue Holiday?
"The Houston Rockets is the number one team in the universe...you can ask all my friends from Mars and Pluto." -- Ron Artest
Mark Jackson...
was on his nuts too…
"The Houston Rockets is the number one team in the universe...you can ask all my friends from Mars and Pluto." -- Ron Artest
Dont forget about...
DeJuan Blair..
"The Houston Rockets is the number one team in the universe...you can ask all my friends from Mars and Pluto." -- Ron Artest
but they already have Dorsey, Hayes, and Landry
3 Blair-sized players
How many Biletnikoffs does he have? NOT TWO!
and we also have several undersized PGs, too
but that didn’t stop Morey from saying they liked the draft’s PGs.
Your friendly neighborhood Dreamshake mod.
I think..
theyll go for him next..but you never know…
"The Houston Rockets is the number one team in the universe...you can ask all my friends from Mars and Pluto." -- Ron Artest

well....
I guess………………like I said…you never know..
"The Houston Rockets is the number one team in the universe...you can ask all my friends from Mars and Pluto." -- Ron Artest
so Holiday is off the board?
took them that long. so much for the rumors that the Rockets were trying to buy a pick to get him if he would have slipped.

Really?
I thought Morey might like him…I mentioned it in a Fanpost earlier today

the rumors could very well be true
but Philly needed a point guard, and the Pistons are rebuilding.

there we go
so, who thinks the wolves are going to trade one of those guys?

OR...
they’re gonna have the craziest offense in the history of the universe.

see,
the T-Wolves know that Stern’s getting rid of the shot clock next year. They’re going to alley-oop to Jefferson once and just pass the rest of the game.

3 point guards..

Wolves look like all their picks are pretty much for ransom

from Friedman's blog:
One thing I should point out here: The Rockets’ brain trust has an IM system set up that keeps a lot of vocal chatter to a minimum. You can still tell when there’s an air of excitement, of course, but often you have to rely on subtle body language rather than audible conversation. Makes for a very interesting dynamic.
lol, the rockets are the borg

teague makes sense
especially after claxton and acie were sent to gs

I say yes
Teague reminds me a lot of Acie Law, and he didn’t work there. Bibby is the leader they need if they are serious about contending.

Collison might be...
my favorite PG in the draft, other than Rubio
Check out nickandroll.blogspot.com
why do i have a feeling that we move on blair? and that we snag rubio after all?
Wafer . . . again. (Marv Albert, HOU v. CLE Feb 2009)

Blazers...
are gonna snag Blair

if the rockets were serious about blair
theyd have to get rid of dorsey/landry/hayes, but they could do that through the trade

wait for it. min will take blair, package him with rubio and send the two to houston for brooks, landry and something else.
Wafer . . . again. (Marv Albert, HOU v. CLE Feb 2009)

i mean. Great for us, bad for the mavs, I think

Also
It’s worth remembering that Batum wasn’t traded for Greene until the draft was over
How many Biletnikoffs does he have? NOT TWO!
Thanks, Feigen
One other thought to keep in mind: If the Rockets do make a trade tonight, it then requires league approval and NBA employees (read: me) cannot comment on it until it receives said approval. So I can tell you when there’s chatter, but I can’t be the one to actually break the news of the trade.
Your friendly neighborhood Dreamshake mod.
Right on the money
on that one too Lad..

Rockets have tried to make several moves so far this evening, but nothing has come together yet… obviously. Have no doubt more attempts are in the offing. Waiting until second round now???
"The Houston Rockets is the number one team in the universe...you can ask all my friends from Mars and Pluto." -- Ron Artest
blair is ready for 28
question is how can we work a blair and rubio package??? landry and brooks?!?!?!?! maybe throw in battier

A couple really good players we can target in the second round
DeJuan Blair
Nick Calathes
Jeff Pendergraph
Danny Green
at this point
would any of these players left help us at all? Or will they just be trade fodder?
How many Biletnikoffs does he have? NOT TWO!
I think Blair and Young could
Blair would be a weird fit, though.

I mean,
a lot of these guys were thought to be mid-first round/ late lottery picks at some point.

Don't think Budinger will cut it in the NBA
Posted this above but after Blair, I think Nick Calathes makes a lot of sense. We can store him over in Europe for a year and buyout him out next year if he does well. Jeff Pendergraph and Danny Green are both going to have 10 yr+ careers as solid role players- worth a pick at this point

The good news I guess is that he’ll be traded soon since the Timberwolves’ owner doesn’t really seem to care about making that franchise worth a damn.
I am still behind a Rubio for Brooks +1 trade if it ever becomes reasonable.
Adam Silver
is just happy to get to shake someone’s hand and smile at the cameras.

and he expects
to get a standing ovation every time he announces a name. Someone give the man a cookie!
How many Biletnikoffs does he have? NOT TWO!
HAH - Boozer makes a team
Wow. ESPN is stretching that “truth” a bit. He’s good, but like cancer in the locker room if he’s unhappy.
well
He might play for us. The team’s pretty crowded right now, and he’d be competing against White and probably (should he get signed) Wafer for a spot, but he might do well.
He might go overseas and play for a year or two.
He might be used as part of a trade.

Wafer
Wafer’s out. I’ll be VERY surprised if he makes it to training camp.

well,
we’ll see when the FA period starts. But if he doesn’t sign another contract, I’d say that there’s a good chance Taylor plays for us.

I like him.
I have no idea if he’ll play for us, but I think he’s a quality guard.

I don't expect him to play
I’d be surprised if he ever puts on a Rockets uniform. We have ABZ / Lowry, I think we just got him to up the ante for a trade.

bq,
I suspect most of you are enterprising enough to have found out the news by now, but I can confirm that the Rockets bought the No. 32 pick from Washington and acquired Jermaine Taylor, the SG from Central Florida. Again, apologies for not being able to let you know when everything went down about an hour ago – as I’ve said, the league has very specific rules regarding this sort of thing that can not be circumvented.
More news on the way…

More action in the Rockets’ war room. Their night isn’t done yet. Looks like it could be a 3-player draft for Houston tonight.

It's Budinger, everybody.
It’s Brent Barry 2: Electric Boogaloo

alright, it's confirmed
that should be it for the Rockets.
Pretty good haul, I think, considering they entered the night with nothing.
