    That "weakness" (which I lol @ everytime it's brought up) got him to the Rox on the cheap.....thank you Chase for being an athletic introvert.

    Flynn is a decent scorer and passer. He may not be our star PG but considering what morey pulled offf, the trade is impressive. Finally, no more miller and his outrageous conract

    I'm just catching up on ClutchFans after a draft party at my house and plenty of Twitter following.

    I'll post something in the appropriate thread.

    (Spoiler Alert: REALLY wanted Leonard; initially disappointed with pick; am begrudgingly accepting of the logic and reasoning behind it; that kid BETTER be able to play the 3.)

    Leonard reminds me a lot of that SF who went to the Clippers last year: outstanding physical specimen, but almost no NBA skill. My opinion is he was the Rox's draft target initially, but then the Marcus Morris gift drops out of the sky and they grab him instead.

    C: Hayes/Hill/Thabeet
    PF: Scola/Patterson/Montijunas
    SF: Budinger/Williams/Morris
    SG: Martin/Lee/Parsons
    PG: Lowry/Dragic/Flynn
    Injured: Yao

    Doesn't look too shabby right now. The next move is signing a 7ft center or converting Flynn and Scola into a reliable center. I actually like the idea of keeping Dragic and Flynn behind Lowry cause Lowry hasn't exactly been the healthiest and Flynn and Dragic can both play off the ball...

    Parsons is not a SG.

    Marcus will be the starting SF at some point in the season.

    Exactly.. Which is why I said it sounds like Chase Budinger. I guess I have to include better context clues.

    The reason why both players fell was because of how they presumed to approach the game. This will turn out to be a good thing (ala Budinger)

    This 7 footer is going to end up like every other piece of euro trash that comes into the NBA. Dirk and Pau had the desire and the will to become great. Motiejunas is a lazy bum. He once missed a game in europe because he wanted to go to a party instead. He also said in a interview last year, which was conducted in Lithuanian, that he does not have to work hard in the NBA because he feels his skills and game are better then almost every player in the NBA. The interview aired on local TV in Panevėžys. He does not have the character of a true rocket.

    No joke . . . I actually think Brad Miller is EXACTLY the kind of guy the T-Wolves needed badly in their locker room. A grizzled veteran who can keep things loose and ease the tension of losing. He'll help teach those kids how to be professionals.

    That is, if he doesn't now decide to just retire. ;)

    Does anyone else think that Brad Miller and Kevin Love may form some sort of Brokeback Mountainesque relationship next season.

    Wow, is this a borderline critical thought from BimaThug vis-a-vis the Rockets' front office!? :)

    Hell I'd trade all of them for Curry, Evans, or even Jennings.
