His is tougher than what so many scouts labeled him as He has confidence of the demeanor of Marc Gasol, and not Pau or Barngani
losing jeremy lamb, parsons, and terrence jones would be a heartbreaker but d-mo + dwight howard would be an incredible front court.
Quick Recap..thanks Minnesota! "The Houston Rockets acquired point guard Jonny Flynn and Lithuanian big man Donatas Motiejunas (#20) in a trade with Minnesota during Thursday night's NBA draft and sent center Brad Miller and the 23rd pick to the Timberwolves. The Rockets sent the rights to Nikola Mirotic, the 23rd pick, and No. 38, along with Miller and a 2013 first-round pick, to acquire Flynn and Montiejunas"
Oh right and then THIS Happened: "Houston initially sent the 38th overall pick to Minnesota, then bought it back to take Florida forward Chandler Parsons." http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/draft2011/news/story?id=6698564

Minnesota Got: Brad Miller, Nikola Mirotic, 2013 First Rounder Houston Gets: DONATAS "HUNTS WITH WOLVES" MOJIEJUNAS, CHANDLER "MAD CHICKEN" PARSONS, and Jonny Flynn
Also his deals to move up this year to get Lamb and picking up those extra picks to get White and Jones.
T-Jo is like a heavier version of the "Mad Chicken", he moves well, understands the game and does a lot of blue collar work. Hope those questions about his motor go away in the pros. On the opposite end, I almost noticed Morris was in the game.

Flynn and Thabeet was turned into Camby who was then turned into two second round draft picks & random players.
Yes please! Very impressed how many young talented forwards we have collected. Could trade 3 and still be set.
