    If Jeff Van Gundy was a Houston Rocket coach last year. Do you think he would have traded all those picks for Eddie Griffin??

    Build better thread titles - "Question..." is crappy. Learn how to post on a bbs.

    Teams with 3 first round picks = 3 guaranteed contracts. I think a lot of teams would look to trade up when having 3 first rounders. While I am not sure how the rookie salary chart works exactly for each position picked, that 2001 draft was loaded with high school guys, freshman, and a couple of foreigners.

    The Rockets made a bold decision to trade for a guy that they thought could have been the top overall player in the draft. Whlile everyone knows how this turned out, I like that the Rockets would take that gamble to get their guy at the time.

    Would Van Gundy do the same, I don't know. IMO, Griffin would be a Van Gundy type, a good shot blocker with offensive potential and a solid rebounder ... kind of like Camby.

    Question? Why do we keep kicking a dead horse?

    All draft picks are a gamble regardless.....
    Sam B. went before Jordan and we know the history there...

    LOCK THE THREAD PLEASE!!!!!

    He wouldn't still be with the franchise right now. He would've quit or been fired.
