    We need a third PG. If one of our two PGs go down, nobody else can play PG. I guess Miller's going to fill that veteran role that Jon Barry and JVG mentioned for the Timberwolves. If we get Donatas then the 23rd pick will be for Minnesota. Overall, still a good pick. Although now we have Scola, Patterson, Donatas, Hayes, Morris, and Hill who play PF (!)

    It's official. We've given up on ever having a center on the roster again.

    Damn, we could've had J-Ham at 23... what a steal for whoever snags this kid at this stage of the draft.

    I apologize to Morey. I was furious at first with his Morris pick (still not too happy) but this is a terrific trade. Flynn is a very underrated PG IMO and is still very young. Will be a very good back up to Lowry. Interested to see what happens with Dragic...To get rid of B-rad Miller like that is impressive and pick up the, IMO, steal of the draft- Donatas Montiejunas. Fantastic job Morey.

    PG: Lowry/Flynn
    SG: Martin/Williams
    SF: Budinger/Morris
    PF: Scola/Patterson
    C: Yao??/Hayes/Euro dude

    meh, not looking that good, but not bad either.

    I don`t like that trade... Flynn hasn`t shown anything so far and with Lowry and Dragic I thought we`d have been set.

    While I´m fine with taking a chance on Motiejunas, I don`t like giving up a future first rounder for him and our 23d pick. He is a big guy who can`t play defense and is said to have a bad work ethic - and his body is a long way from being NBA ready. It seems like he can´t play center, so our logjam at PF only gets bigger. I guess he`ll stay in Europe for another year.

    Getting rid of Miller is nice - but I´m not thrilled with either player we got, and I´m shocked that we have given up a future first as well. But... in Morey I trust... even if it is hard at times...

    Doesn't make up for the bs lottery pick of Morris, but this is much better.

    Edit: Rockets giving up 23rd pick I can live with, but giving up a a 2nd rd pick and a future 1st too for Flynn and Motiejunas? I wanna get rid of Bran Miller just as much as anybody else, but wow.

    If you consider Flynn a 1st and Montiejunas a first then all you did was get rid of Miller.

    Buuuut Flynn????

    We should move Donatas to C
    Then trade Morris+Hill+Thabett and filters or other players for Danny Granger and Kawhi Leonard (if we can get him GREAT!) or work a different deal for Josh Smith

    Donatas is softer than wet toilet paper.

    If we put him at the C, we will get eaten alive inside.

    Especially if Scola is on the floor beside him.
