    Kawhi to San Antonio for George Hill... Don't like passing on him at all. We better make a trade tonight or this is a time I can't forgive Morey until things pan out - I don't trust this move at all.

    Because Patrick Patterson is such a horrible player. We should have drafted ~enter failed player instead.

    How was he an idiot?

    I bet he was super pissed that Shumpert was taken.

    I wonder if Spike has any (even like .00001%) say in who the Knicks pick, lol.

    LOL at the woman interviewing Spike Lee and stating that no one heard of Carl Landry - of course, she meant Landry Fields.

    I always love Draft threads. Everyone bashing the pick then mid way through the season they are saying how we got such a great guy. It's happened with almost every pick in the Morey era. He has proven he is a pretty good judge of talent and value picks for where we get them.

    SG - Martin / Lee / Williams
    SF - Morris / Budinger / Williams
    PF - Scola (for now?) / Patterson / Morris
    C - Yao (lol?) / Hayes / Miller (vomit)

    It was a typical Moreyball move for value. Not only do we get a complete, ready to go basketball player, we get a Team Mom in the deal. Never discount the value of a Team Mom.



    And, if he means Scoring Forward as a position, one that he will play as an offensive minded tweener, then he is right. We just need him to exploit that Mom inspired basketball excellence to play defense and shut down some of the allstars that are his same size/ No dobut he can score.

    I'm happy with Marcus. I'm just glad we didn't get Donatas.

    Trade the 2nd round pick and 23th pick to move up and get Motiejunas. He's a 7 footer

    Donatas Motiejunas or Jeremy Tyler at 23rd pick would be great!

    Wow, so the Spurs essentially get a lottery pick (15th pick, I know) for their backup pg and a 2nd rd pick. While the Rockets grab another undersized pf. In Morey we trust. :rolleyes:

    There better be a trade in the works.
