    Lowry was one of my favorite Rockets, great great player and competitor. It was a shame he clashed with McHale and was shipped out. For the record, he said he wished he didn't and stayed in Houston. Hopefully, if the Rockets miss out on the big names in free agency this summer, they can bring back Lowry. That would be a dream signing for me.

    LeBron just opted out of his deal - smart move for him, IMO, if his goal is to win several more rings. He may go back to Miami, but as presently constructed they just weren't good enough, and now he has several options to choose from. He really needs to think about the players he wants to spend the rest of his prime years with.

    Time to go to Houston and play with his lil bro Harden and a legit big in Howard.

    James Haren has all the ability to play great on both ends of the floor. But he just doesn't. There's no D in Haren. But at the same time. From going to sixth man, to a max contract to being an all star, to luring Howard to Houston. It's been a meteoric rise, and I think he needed this season. Playing along another superstar, one that actually showed up in the playoffs. I think Haren will improve, mature and become Harden. He is still only 24, and is the best SG in the league. Extremely talented, I saw him play great D on Kobe a few years ago in the playoffs, I've seen him play great post D. But when it comes to awareness, concentration, fighting through screens and not letting up back door cuts, he's absolutely woeful. And It's not as if it's ability,it's maturity. I think he cares now, and we will see improvement in his game that will make him a complete player.

     

    And no matter how frustrating it is to watch Harden on D, he is a joy to watch on O. And as a Rockets fan, I just have to love him  no matter what. After being a perennial 9th seed with no bright future in sight. We now have Harden, Howard and are in a great position to add another star this summer. LeBron, Carmelo, KLove, Rondo, or build on what we already have. Acquiring Harden started this.

    Now my predictions for my own questions:

     

    -Embiid doesn't' make it past Boston at no.6, but could go earlier

    -Houston finally trades Asik and Lin, and gets Melo to create a big 3 of Harden, Melo, and Dwight

    -Yes the Heat stay together

    -They ALL come back. 

    -Kevin Love goes to Warriors in exchange for Lee, Thompson, and absorbing Kevin Martin's contract. Warriors then trade Barnes, expirings, picks, etc to Knicks for Tyson Chandler. GSW ends up with a deadly lineup of Curry, Iguodala, Love, Chandler, and Kevin Martin. 

    -Parker is too NBA ready to not go number 1. He is capable of averaging 20 PPG next year.

    I share all these predictions except the Chandler trade, and I'm not sure on KG and Allen. But I definitely think Duncan, Manu and Pierce take another year. I don't think Embiid falls too far, I think Melo ends up in Houston. I think the Heat will stay together, I think Love ends up with the Warriors and I think Parker goes first in the draft.
