To those who want Reggie Bush...

i heard that reggie bush can eat a rubix cube and poop it out solved

Actually, that's a shame because I heard he pooped solid gold chunks with diamond nuggets.

can we call it a golden rubix cube and be square?

You take the most gifted player...period. Had the Rockets followed this philosopy, we would have had Michael Jordan and the rest would have been history...period

i doubt the rockets get any more championships with jordan then they did with olajuwon, unless they magically manifested scottie pippen and a legitimate center onto their roster soon after......

Actually, it was Ralph Sampsom they chose over Jordan, so it would have been Olajuwon, Jordan, and, had they chosen correctly, Drexler instead of McCray, but I digress and should not use basketball analogies on a football subject.

If there is a potential superstar available, I do not think you should pass him up for several prospects; it is bad business. Take 1974 for example when the Oilers gave up Ed Jones for two whoevers. Don't trade an outside flush for two inside straights.

No they already had Sampson, they drafted Olajuwon #1 in 1984 and Jordan went #3 right after Sam Bowie.

Sorry, you're right (and I am getting old). My philospy back then was that when Olajuwan became available, the Rockets might have considered trading Sampson to Portland (who needed a center and drafted Sam Bowie). For Sampson, the Rockets could have gotten a king's ransom including rights to Michael Jordan and whatever else Portland had to offer. Add that to Otis Thorpe, Drexler (instead of McCray) and the potential is impressive (on paper)...Anyway, that's basketball and I apologize for taking the subject off of the nfl draft.
