[CHRONIC] Rockets would like to land Cousins, but so would at least 6 other teams

i dont see it happening. the teams at the top of the lotto aren't motivated sellers. the wizards, sixers, and nets are happy with their choices of draftees. the wolves are looking to trade jefferson probably in preparation for having to draft a big if turner and johnson are off the board. and the kings want cousins. so much for that.

 

I haven't seen any flashes of Taylor being "special' so i hope they don't hang their hats on that.

 

Btw... Dick Justice is one of the best names for a porno i've ever heard. :grin:

 

I am pretty sure Wolves want to get rid of Jefferson no matter who they draft.

The guys is going to be dumped for expiring contracts and very little else.

 

I only remembered how taylor defended kobe that one night. Maybe that's considered special or flash.

 

Try watching all regular season games, JT did have some spurts at attacking the rim, just needs to learn Adelman's offense.

 

What about double figure scoring in all of his starts.

 

I am not a Big fan of Justice. He tends to steal ideas or rumors from other people's articles. He does not have any credibility when it comes to talking sports. He tend to make up a lot of BS.
I am sure Morey like to move up but Minnesota is the only realistic chance for us to get in the top 5. The cost maybe very high to get #4 pick. Most likely we had to take Al Jefferson off their hands. He still has 40+ million (3 yrs) remaining on his contract. Oouchh!!!

 

I used to feel the same way about him until I started listening to him on 1560. I think he's actually getting better than before. He's starting to get the big picture when it comes to Rockets information. He does bring a lot of hind sight on what Morey wants to do.

 

Jt is a strong competitor that can score very quickly with the ability to play pesty defense. I see promise the only thing holding him back is his IQ and adapting to the NBA and Adelman offense, but another should help that.

 

Meh. I feel another let down coming tomorrow night after all of the hype.

 

You've built up the hype in your own mind. The stories and rumors are just that. Morey is trying but is just as likely to trade back for something extra in return as trade up - just not as interesting a rumor.

If all they do is staynpat and select a player, that could be great give Moreys track record at drafting thus far.

 

I am pretty sure now this is a smokescreen. When was the last time Morey told anybody his target?

 

Haha Magic Johnson is great too (really thought of it after reading Bill Simmons' Book)

 

we'll see. i think if they get johnson and another wing in the first round they make a go of it again this season.

if the nets go with johnson, cousins might be too much to pass up. in that situation i think they move jefferson to make room for cousins.

by the way did you figure out what you're doing for draft tickets?

 

I know the wolves want to dump him, but I'v heard that Kahn overvalue's him. If they are dumping for expiring contracts, that's an easier pill to swallow than Elton Brand I think.

 

All of this talk about Cousins makes me believe that the Rockets have ZERO intention of ever going after him...

Too much noise...I don't believe they want him anymore.

Morey's pretty blunt with his statements to the media. He confirmed that he tried hard to move up last year, but no teams were biting. I know he got Budinger, but I'd like to hear him say "Everything went exactly how I wanted it to this year."
