    Draft pick.

    This is a good draft year and you want many darts you can get.

    If Aaron Brooks were a good NBA player instead of average he'd be Lou Williams.

    Morey must have found where Brewer was hiding his nudes so he was able to finally be traded!

    I LOVE getting Lou, but is he really worth our 1st round pick at 30 years old??

    So just like that, the first move of the new Lakers regime is to unload their best offensive threat for a #28 draft pick and the of taking on Corey Brewer's $7.6M next year.

    It's like Magic!

    Sure, Williams was only a little cheaper, but he was well worth the money. Brew? Not so much.

    Yes. He's more guaranteed than whoever the **** we would draft in the late first.

    Rockets will be at the bottom of the 1st rd. It's worth the risk. That's what I love about this franchise. Always looking to improve

    - Salary differential filler for trade
    - First round pick for trade
    - Terrible enough player to tank with (Lakers aren't making the playoffs regardless)
    - Doing a solid for Willliams

    Guys that are so hung up on draft picks.

    Name legit players on the Rockets that we drafted and couldn't find a similar talent elsewhere.
    Please, let's hear it.

    We got him so we can start him, thus giving E.G. The 6th man of the year award. Our gift to E.G. For his 3 point contest win.

    Nah we need Ariza more than we need Chandler. Plus, Ariza knows the world is round (hopefully),

    Yeah, Magic has gathered the entire front office together and is now screaming at everyone, "Why didn't anyone warn me about this guy?"
