    Budinger pick 16... Lowry likely a pick 12-14?? I don't see that.
    Seems like a bad move, not a Morey move.

    Top 5 pick does not equate to Top 5 player.

    Do you remember what we got Budinger and Lowry for? I would have to disagree with you on that one.

    I'm talking about Dwight. You take the risk every day and twice on Sundays to get a player like him .

    Bad players on big, expiring contracts:

    Desagana Diop
    Rip Hamilton
    Luke Walton
    Charlie Villanueva (has a player option)
    Beno Udrih
    Brad Miller
    Darko Milicic
    Martell Webster
    Wesley Johnson
    Rashard Lewis
    Hedo Turkoglu (partially guaranteed)

    And others. Trade Scola to Orlando for Turkoglu and picks.

    It wasn't used in the last draft. Dallas basically needs to miss making the playoffs for us to receive the pick.

    Do you think Morey would be pursuing him so hard if he wasn't confident in his recovery?

    They just completely scratched PJ3 from their board because of health concerns, don't think they would give up the farm for Howard if they don't think the guy can play.

    other way around bro. It's top 20 protected and it looks like Dallas aint making the playoffs for a while. Best hope is that they go on a playoff drought for 5 years; then the pick is unprotected ...i think.

    This is the first time I've felt Morey may be on the other side of a trade. I'll wait and see how the chips fall before I make a judgement.

    Lowry just seems to be worth so much more.

    Dallas pick needs to be in the bottom 10 (i.e. they need to finish with the 10th best record or better and we get their pick 21-30).

    So are there any more details on this trade? Or is that it?

    Gary Forbes + Lotto pick for Lowry?

    I thought that there were going to be more details but it sure seems rather slow...wonder if they hit a snag

    You think Dallas is missing the playoffs? They still have Dirk. Losing Terry hurts, but not enough to knock them out of the playoffs, IMO.

    It does hurt us getting the pick though.
