    Haha, nice to see. I also just bet my mate T-Rob will be a Spur by the end of the night. I think he's gonna flourish in that system. But I also think we're gonna get Dwight so it's all worth it.

    Lol someone is mad.

    We are still in the best position to get howard.

    The rockets should not have wasted their time with the spurs and cavs. The cavs just like to talk.

    Classic draft night. The same thing happens every year. A million trades are "all but done" but nothing ends up happening.

    That's alright though.

    So now what? Are we just going to dump Robinson for future picks from a team like Charlotte?

    So essentially, the same as the last 3 drafts. Not that I'm complaining, because I think they will make the necessary moves, but when is the last time the Rockets actually did something significant on draft night?

    I have learned not to get down on Morey and question his moves. He knows what he is doing there is a game plan in place. There is always a plan A, B, C...all the way to Z with all these scenarios. He is obviously the most informed and talking to multiple teams daily about various moves.

    But Dallas has done quite an impressive job today. I would rather have dwight stay in LA than go to Dallas because man I hate Dallas especially the Cowboys. The lakers of the football world! blah.

    Morey probably didn't want to do the picks on the table at 19 or 20, because none of the Eurostash players in that range would agree to stay overseas. So you have to figure Morey is now targeting a future pick, perhaps a protected first in 2014, a much stronger draft.

    There are no sure fire future all-stars in the 2013 draft. Not one.

    Dallas has done quite a bit but they're random moves, many of which seem to make it harder to acquire Howard.
