    For those who say Motiejunas is too thin to work the post, I just wanted to point out that he has put a lot of weight on his frame in the past year. You can clearly see that in the video below.

    He has also said that his favorite player is Luis Scola, for what it's worth.

    And we supposedly bought the #38 back from Minny.

    So basically, it boils down to giving up Miller, a #23 this year and a late 2nd-rounder from 2017 or after. In return we get Motiejunas and Flynn.

    We might not know for a year or two whether this paid off for us, but we gave up almost nothing.

    Motiejunas = better than Jonas. I might eat those words later but who cares? At least im bold enough to make these type of predictions and is more than willing to take the blame if Jonas ends up better, or Motiejunas becomes complete crap lol.

    Did he now.....I approve the pick after learning this fact. Anybody who looks up to Luis is a good first impression.

    I missed it at first because of his thick accent.

    He'd likely be the #1 pick in this draft.

    Beggars, unfortunately, can't be choosers.

    so to the "rockets offered the timberpuppies 10 different trades"-

    Does anybody think that one of them involved Morey saying, "Kahn! how about I send you Brad Miller and his Scrappy-Doo tattoo for Johnny flynn?"

    Wow, I love the added muscle. I must say when I watched the highlight videos of 2010, I was worried as to how thin he was. This video is such a relief.

    So who can we flip Flynn for, because he is apparently already on the block.
