    Lots of moves seemingly spinning that aren't going to be very interesting.

    Woof.

    ESPN just added this tidbit:

    "Although the full details of the deal weren’t immediately known, two sources said Thursday that the Rockets were indeed weighing whether to go ahead with the trade in advance of the 3 p.m. deadline. Yet it’s also believed that the Wolves are still talking to other teams as well. "

    If this goes through, it reeks of "making a move just to make a move".

    That's what I'm thinking. I don't think we would trade AB just for Johnny Flynn.

    Another reason I hope this trade doesn't go through:

    Lowry deserves to be a starter. That might be in jeopardy if we get Flynn.

    Why is everyone assuming it's Brooks?

    I think Flynn is incredibly underrated.

    I see him as becoming a rich man's Brooks with better court vision in a year or two.

    I would be STOKED on this deal, especially If we got Randolph!

    I see your point. His trade value isn't the greatest right now. That being said...

    David Kahn is terrible, so he could very well trade for AB.

    On what planet?

    Flynn is a significantly worse shooter (both overall and 3pt) and has a worse assist:to ratio.

    Looks like the Rockets are trying to corner the market on 2009 lottery picks who haven't quite panned out.

    :confused:
