    Murray is slick, he is doctoring a fake birth certificate as we speak so Maker drops so Rockets can nab him.

    Is Zhou the Qi to a championship? Would you take Zhou or Thon if both are available at 37?

    Good question. I think I'd go with Thon.

    Zhou, he is more polished and actually played against decent competition and is playing for his his national team.

    I'd pass on Qi and go with Georgios Papagiannis but i know LE$, we will probably trade into the first round just to be safe and select Zhou Qi there. Of course we will also add Lin as our starting PG next year too.


    I'd be ecstatic to have Thon Maker as a project, plus it would be fun to watch Vipers games, BUT it almost feels like it'd be for nothing because as soon he has 1 breakout game in Summer league, Morey will sell high ala Donte Greene.

    The guy that can't shoot 40% from the free throw line should be developed into a stretch 4?

    How about Ibaka?

    Maybe OKC knows Durant isn't coming back if they are going for a high pick, #3?

    I had a feeling Ibaka could be available, Rockets have nothing worthy though.

    What make Thon intresting is not only his length, but his skillset (not great) which is unique for someone his size.

    worth the gamble in the late first.

    LOL.

    PHX upchucks and takes Bender. Their lottery bound next season and probably the season after that. Now they'll have to deal Bledsoe at a discount our pay him fit taking them to the lottery the next couple years. What a stupid front office. They could've added Butler to Bledsoe and Booker. And still traded for Chriss. Just dumb.
