    I would say that a wing time scorer would only hurt them. They should build like the '86 Rockets. Focus on the frontcourt with a solid, but not great, group of backcourt players.

    Yeah, maybe not a slash-first wing who'd clog the paint like a Tyreke Evans or Dion Waiters, but more of a perimeter threat to open things up & take some heat off the bigs.

    Danny Granger and Joe Johnson would be ideal fits, IMO. Terrific shooters w/ postseason experience. James Harden would be a force in that system, as well.

    Wow- apologies for being late to the Robinson show, so to speak, I know their coach at Kansas said he was a demigod- so it's not a huge surprise.

    I love Pau's reaction after the TRob dunk in the video above. Lol.

    That was great- Pau looks at Dwight with a "WTF? at least be a man and put your elbows out"

    That was a great dunk. Maybe as good as Cole Aldrich's last night.

    Thomas Robinson leads all rookies in suspensions. And now he's rubbing off on Cousins.

    I hope this doesn't turn into a habit for him. The guy had probably gotten under his skin.

    My first opportunity to watch Robinson against the Rockets. Looks like my predictions about his career are right on track. He may even be worse than I thought.

    We got a steal. He's going to be very good.

    I hate that Dwight is having a good game for the Lakers

    Hope it's not a bad omen. I would have been a little less skeptical if it was DD who created this thread instead of coachbadlee.

    Has it ever been? Morey just went from #12 to #5 in the 2012 draft.

    Funnily enough, that's exactly what he was trying to do on draft night.
