Chad Ford has us taking Donatas Motiejunas (7 foot European center) with the number 14 pick. He's a good prospect, but unlikely to provide immediate help. Is there any chance that the Rockets will trade to move up? I think a guy like Ekpe Udoh would be a huge help to the team, but I don't think the Rockets will get him at #14. With a draft full of talented big men, is this the right moment to a sacrifice future pick to move up on the board?

Well worth the 15 minutes it took me to read… and I’m not even a Rockets fan. Kudos, gentlemen. Hey Rahat/Jason, that was some phenomenal writing and solid analysis throughout the piece.

Keep up the good work! With so many assets it's not inconceivable that Morey might even trade for a disgruntle superstar on another team (say CP3) or some other major piece on a team capped out in mediocrity (say Crash). <br><br>I completely agree that in today's NBA flexibility trumps almost all, particularly with the upcoming labor battles. I look forward to next season and eagerly awaits either a big splash this summer or next trade deadline. With Morey at the helm nothing's impossible!!!
