Jonathan Feigen -  About 20 minutes before the draft and the Rockets still don't have a pick.

It could be a long night. Well, at least we can pass it this way.

Don't expect the Rockets to make a drastic roster move tonight. From everything Morey has said, he has been working to get a pick. He would only use the McGrady contract to get a McGrady replacement, and that's the McGrady he planned to have these past few years.

As for the pick, I still think they will get one in the 18 or 19 to 30 range, figuring that as 50/50. I would be shocked if they come away without even a second-round pick.

But just for fun, make your case about what they should do. I'll throw out a few draft spots -- we'll start at No. 5. Tell us who you would take. As for who would be available, let's use a mock draft to guide us. Let's say, for argument sake, mine. Who would you take if you were drafting fifth.

One more thing, I'm going to hang in here as long as I can. If the Rockets make a move or we start getting close to deadline, I'll duck out for awhile and come back between deadlines.

And with that, away we go.

is Shane gonna be traded with brooks for the #2 pick?a lot of talk
6:15
Jonathan Feigen -  I would doubt it. The Grizzlies have often felt that they lack what Shane brings, knowing that better than most teams. I think the Rockets like Rubio enough to be tempted, though that's a lot to give up off a win-now team for a guy that needs some time.

Is there any point in us watching this draft Jon? Give it to me straight......
6:15
Jonathan Feigen -  Sure. Enjoy. Or at least, waste time with us in the chat.

Latest news on rockets?
6:16
Jonathan Feigen -  No news, Steve. I was told yesterday and again today that the Rockets will probably not make a move until they see how things play out and know who they could get. Sort of rules out that Memphis rumor.

Patience, Steve, patience.

there saying amare is going to golden state. whats the word?
6:17
Jonathan Feigen -  It's not a bad deal for the Suns, I guess. I would try to go one more year of seven-seconds-or-less with Amar'e.

when are the rockets expected to make a move, im getting impatient, spurs cavs have made some big moves when need to match
6:19
Jonathan Feigen -  It is still June, isn't it, Jackie? If Morey is right and the McGrady contract is as coveted as he thinks -- I talked to others outside the organization today who agree, by the way -- then there is no rush. If anything, he becomes more valuable when he starts doing things on the court this summer with plenty of other NBA players around.

[Comment From Matthew]
Think David Lee would be a good trade for us and could we make it work?
6:19
Jonathan Feigen -  He is a restricted free agent. I don't think the Knicks let him go anywhere. And I don't think he is an upgrade over Scola.

[Comment From jackie]

6:19
Jonathan Feigen -  I would.

[Comment From BG]
just out of curiosity, how do you think steph curry would fit with the rockets?
6:20
Jonathan Feigen -  Great with McGrady, pretty good without. It never hurts to have shooting around Yao.
