    hahah...nice. I think at some point we'll corner the market on PF's. We can be like the De Beers of NBA PF's and set the market price right?

    I really hope this means rebuilding but highly doubt it. Losing 1 good PG is one thing, losing two and getting none in return is ridiculous and embarrassing.

    Is that pick going to be the "under-the-table-move" to make sure the Knicks don't match?

    Oh it's the OTHER way around. I get it now. I thought it meant lottery protected for the Raptors. Phew. :eek:

    Its pretty much done. Morey deals dont get to Adrian Woj. without being all but done.

    Getting back a very intriguing draft pick. Most likely protection works in Rockets favor to make sure its Lotto only. and also getting Gary Forbes as a salary filler on the Raptors end.

    makes sense since he can play two positions and Martin is living on barrowed time.

    yeah, i know, just wanted to get in the 100 forwards shot in :grin:


    It's actually worse than people think because this means the rockets fear there's a good chance the Raptors won't be in the lottery..

    It better be lottery protected to be in the top 8.
    I don't want some low-end of the lottery pick to be the return.
    If they have Lowry, Ross and get Jonas V.....it might be a while before they see the lottery.

    Lowry
    Fields
    Ross
    Bargs
    Valenciunas

    That seems like a team that be 8th or 9th in the east. 14th pick!

    I think with gaining this undersized PF we are trying to corner the market in them and hold them all for ransom driving the price up in the future.

    Simple supply and demand and Morey is working to to a T. Pretty soon we use all of these assets to our advantage. :rolleyes:
