    Like the trade. Like Flynn, and everyone dislikes the future first but we have to cash in our chips at some point.

    He's also taking them. Thank you NY. Thank you Memphis. Thank you Phoenix.

    And I've loved Motiejunas since last year before he pulled out. YEEEESSSSS!!!!!

    Huh? why is everyone so happy? im ambivalent about this trade. we still have no center. donatas is unproven and flynn hasn't really showed anything yet. dunno why everyone is getting so hyped about the potential. the only reason why im not upset is because i wonder if donatas can develop into something nice.

    second...what about our gaping hole at the center? so we have 3 pg's and 5 pf's now? gotta be another trade coming soon..

    I don't like giving up the 1st. Thats the best part of this trade. I do not like Johnny Flynn...and I love Lowry, so....first move I can say I'm not happy with from Morey.

    Haven't read through the thread and I'm sure its been pointed, but the Rockets now have the #2, #6, #8, and #11 lottery picks from the 2009 draft on their team. And none of them are particularly good.

    That Montiejunas is too raw too soft. Absolutely not ready for nba. He will be smart enough to spend several years before joining Houston.

    Maybe not.

    Getting rid of Miller = + for Rockets
    Donatas > or = future first (especially if Memphis pick from Battier trade)
    Flynn > 23 pick this year
    pick 38 this year (if true) = one less body in practice

    This is the pick:

    2013 first round draft pick from Memphis
    Memphis' own 2013 1st round pick to Houston (top 14 protected in the 2013 Draft, top 14 protected in 2014, top 14 protected in 2015, and top 14 protection in 2016 Draft). If Houston has not yet received this first round pick by the 2016 draft, then so long as Memphis' own 2016 2nd round pick is among the top 55 picks then Houston shall instead receive (1) Memphis' own 2016 2nd round pick and (2) cash. If, however, Houston has not yet received this first round pick by the 2016 draft, but Memphis' own 2016 2nd round pick is not among the top 55 picks then Houston shall instead receive (1) Toronto's own 2016 second round pick via Memphis and (2) cash.

    And by then it has the potential to be a VERY good pick. More valuable than anyone we got in this trade.

    Morey is a genius
    He's doing our business months before in case of a hard salary cap an got a steal in this one by trading brad miller's remaining corpse and mirotic for a skilled big man and another great asset!

    ....and Brad Miller. They have the room to hold his contract for a year in exchange for a late first.
