Whoops, forgot about Brooks for a second, but he's going to stick around anyway, but not get many minutes.

Look for Lucas & Alston to be moved before the season starts.
The Rockets have already stated that they are actively looking for a new home for Lucas while Alston's departure is just a matter of time w/ the arrival of Francis.
I'm looking at a Rockets starting 5 of James (or Francis) & Mcgrady at the backcourt & Battier, Scola, Yao at the Frontcourt.

I heard they are trying to move Alston and Lucas to make Francis a starter. Well, this one works because it would give Houston a dynamic backcourt with McGrady and Francis. Now all they need is a capable PF to complete their team of Yao, Battier, McGrady and Francis.

well head is a 2gaurd so he's out the pic. francis will start and james will come off the bench. there will be a trade i think for alston to bring in a PF

this deal probably won't happen, but it would be the rockets best bet at winning a title

I WOULD HAVE MIKE JAMES START AT THE POINT AND HAVE STEVE FRANCIS AT THE 2 SPOT AND HAVE LUTHER HEAD BE THE SIXTH MAN

i'm seeing a trade... probably to add to their frontcourt. just not sure where.
don't forget to add their draft pick (aaron brooks) in the mix too...
