    Hold on, did you just compare getting DWIGHT HOWARD to getting Shane Battier?

    Don't get me wrong, I love his game and I'll be furious if we trade him.

    If I remember correctly, it's because he was hot.. hit a lot of 3's

    Lamb showed a veriety of moves. His elite skillset can't be denied.

    Next game, Jones will play even better than today.

    Yeah,I know. But I'm wondering if there's a chance that Morey and Henny both see how strong our assets can be and Morey starts pulling away, causing Henny to panic and accept less... Possible?

    Git'er done Morey!

    Hope we keep them... Jeremy is likely gone, good player

    Well no thanks. Too much to give up for a 1 yr player who does not want to come here. Play the kids, take advantage of the top 10 pick from the Raptors next yr and start building from there.

    Yeah, but are you willing to wait several years for them to "develop" into a significant team? Is being a bad to mediocre team for 3 more years or more gonna be okay for a hungry fan base?

    Pretty much.

    Also Greene didn't do much the other games IIRC. It was more of a indication of a guy just getting hot.

    Lets see if our guys can continue this.

    I like to look at things, tools a player has. Lamb has a lot of tools and put them to good use.

    I would give up Jones, Lamb, AND Motiejunas for Dwight...

    ...as long as we weren't taking back more than one bad contract.

    Let's be realistic and not knee-jerk. They are completely unproven rookies.

    It'll be alright.

    As long as there are players to be excited about.

    Before, after Yao's departure there was no one to be excited about. Most of our players seemed to have capped potential.

    I think for the first time in a while we have two guys who have really high ceilings In Lamb & D-Mo.

    I don't think so... And reading other posts on here people were b****ing about Lambs body language from the workout videos post on Rox web site, and even then I did not see it.

    Parsons will stay. Lamb did fine..he is GO GO Gadget. You are over playing the D-Black-hole Howard trade.

    Im fine with that. Atleast the franchise will be on a good path. What if D-Mo, Lamb and Jones are all studs in the making? We trade them for Howard and he leaves after one season. Now you're back at rock bottom with aging players with bad contacts (j-rich, turk, duhon).

    I think we should keep T-Jones rather than White

    Forget Lamb's offense

    I was more impressed with his Defense

    Ross did NOT outplay Lamb. Ross had free reign to shotjack all over the place( he has an ugly jumper). He hit a few wideopen 3's, and scored on Parsons a few, add in a fastbreak dunk( he didnt really impress). Im seeing a lot of J.R. Smith in this guy

    Lamb scored within in the offense, played OUTSTANDING ball denial, and man on man D. He was not a negative on the court when he was in the game, and made some nice unselfish passes instead of forcing up tough shots in the paint. Showed that he can attack the rim, and has great timing on steals.

    Lamb outplayed Ross, because Ross didnt score on Lamb one time when they were matched up. Lamb's length bothered Ross. Ross shot 8/22 lol. shotjacking all game

    Lamb and Parsons have potential to form an awesome defensive backcourt for many years to come

    I do NOT see the Kevin Martin comparisons with this kid at all

    I really hope we keep Lamb. I get the feeling he's gonna be special in this league.
