    It'll be funny if it's another forward. Even if it's a Euro stash.

    Probably a 6'9 forward who isn't sure if he'll be a 3 or a 4....

    After tonight, and after Morey's confirmation of a 2nd round pick being the minor move we've all been waiting to hear about, it just feels like we're doomed to mediocrity for another season. If we don't tank and get rid of some of our PFs, I really don't know what to think anymore.

    What's weird is most didn't want Dwight, but most of you are upset. Didn't everyone want to rebuild through the draft?

    I was hoping that Rox draft Sullinger with the 18th. With 2 really good picks, DM could have just goes for broke.

    I think most wanted Lowry/Kmart/Scola gone. I'm very happy with the players we acquired but am unhappy at the logjam at every position (except center of course :eek:)

    pg: Dragic/Lowry/Livingston -2 starting caliber pgs
    sg: Martin/Lamb/Lee (Given he resigns)
    sf: Parsons/Morris/White- Will white get pt or will morris? 3 guys is just too much
    pf (sigh): Scola/Patterson/Dmo/Jones/Leuer/Brockman/Furkan Aldemir- Do I need to say anything

    Yeah but we all thought we were getting 2 top 10 picks. But the worst organization in the league, Bobcats, screwed everything up. If they had taken T Robinson, just like every single mock predicted, Sacramento would have traded their pick to us. The Bobcats probably cost us Dwight or at least 1 top 10 pick.

    Source confirms the "minor move" by the Rockets was for the 53rd pick of the draft, Turkish power forward Furkan Aldemir.

    Well I predicted something right about the Rockets' draft night. Good stash pick.

    That was when we had the idea we were going to get 2 top 10 picks

    two over-sized small forwards?:confused:

    I'm tired of Morey failing. Oh well there's always next year, and the year after that, and the year after that, and the year after that....and so on
