    I love this trade. If there was a center available at 23 then I say we could've filled that hole, but there weren't any centers available except for Vucevic, who doesn't protect the rim either.

    He's still a legit 7 footer. Taller than most we have on this team.

    OK lottery protected means ot won't be in the lottery for those who dont knownthat. So no better than 15 until 2016. After that its a 2nd rounder and cash. So no, not a really good pick.

    We may trade Lowry over Flynn to clear up some salary for the 2012 free agents.

    Triangle offense seriously didn't help Flynn, hopefully he'll prosper over here at the Rockets.

    I realize you're probably joking, but I hate when people say this. Every single year, everyone is all up on these Euros thinking they are the next Dirk, but it doesn't happen. Most of them flame out. Hate to say it, but I expect the same from Donatas. Doesn't mean it's a bad trade though. Worth the risk. This draft sucks.

    Looking like we're collecting all the busts from 2009 draft lol. You got Thabeet, Jordan Hill, Terrence Williams and now Jonny Flynn lol. These are top 10 players that don't make much impact compare to the other players in the top 10. Look at the players in the top 10 beside the ones coming to Houston...they're stars now. The ones we got are either bust or average lol.

    What's so proud about these trades?? I don't get it. Also the guy MotieJonas? He is just a stiff w/ no athleticism. We already have a player better than him w/ no athleticism...his name is Scola lol.

    Gotta give Morey credit, he got it done tonight. This is an awesome trade for us in my opinion. I'm extremely excited for next season now. More to come maybe?

    Because the Suns hooked us up big time. No way that we pass on Marcus.


    What does Motiejunas' contract situation look like? TIA
