    This.

    Brad Miller for Jonny Flynn is pretty much an even dead cow swap. IIRC Miller has one year left on his contract while Flynn has two.

    The #20 for the #23 should have been a pretty even swap as well.

    Adding another first round pick (as long it is not the 2020 Memphis pick the Rox got coming) would be completely insane. DM just got pants.

    Nope, it's going to at best be a 15 pick or a second round pick...

    Just dawned on me that Motiejunas is a younger, more agile, less broken-down-like-an-old-Pinto version of Brad Miller. He's a 7-footer with a decent outside shot (43% from 3-pt range). He can play the 5, but he's not going to block many shots or scare away too many opposition post players on D. Pretty good rebounder, but nothing you'd write home about.

    Have to say, I would rather have Jordan Hamilton than Flynn or Motiejunas at this point.

    I knew the Mavs would take Jordan Hamilton.

    Anyways, It was just a few years ago when we had Rafer Alston and Juwan Howard starting at PG and PF. Now the Rockets are stacked at these two positions.


    The problem is the Rockets already have Martin, Lee, Budinger, and Williams fighting for playing time. When you have Martin only playing 32 mpg then it's best to avoid drafting a player like Hamilton.

    You should post more often. I'm glad that Miller is gone,but we couldn't have gotten more than Flynn for him. Donatas has offensive potential,but he is lazy and soft.

    The future 1st is no big deal, judging by our recent luck it'll be like a 14th pick or something. Meanwhile, we'll get a C we can start developing NOW (alongside Thabeet).

    At least it was a pretty recent draft. Some of them could turn out OK.

    If we could at least get one of the good players from that draft it would be good.

    Mavs are trading No. 26 to Portland to acquire Rudy Fernandez, with Portland moving the pick on to Denver in the Miller/Felton deal

    Realize Miller sucks, but don't we at least need a center on the team?

    Who is this mystery center that you speak of? I know your not talking about Motiejunas, he's as much a center as Dirk or Bargnani.
