    "We tried to move up for Thomas Robinson" - Morey.

    Confirming we would have taken Robinson 5th over Drummond back in the draft?

    And probably mostly carried out by Chris Finch? Correct me if I'm wrong.

    I had always thought that was who they were going for....iirc,there was some talk about Robinson being the reason they wanted to move up to 5th or 6th and when the Kings took him the ROckets decided they didnt want that pick anymore.

    I'm convinced he would have been selected 2nd, if Morey traded up that high.

    "what made you on board?"

    mchale gave him a long "what the f** did you just ask me? are you freakin' kidding me" stare. probably just made that man go into a fetal position and cry.

    IIRC after the draft, Daryl was ranking how he viewed Lamb amongst the draft and his top 4 was the consensus group of Davis/MKG/Robinson/Beal. Except I recall a hint or something that meant MKG was probably his #2 and #3 would either have been Beal or Robinson.

    Incorrect. He will be the starting "4" for the Rockets.

    I hope I'm wrong but I doubt it.

    Hard to see him just jumping over D-mo and Jones like that.

    Delfino cannot keep starting as a PF. Any decent post up power forward will kill him.

    I totally agree. TRob needs to learn Mchale's plan, and could catch up quick in RGV. We've seen Mchale go with guys who have been waiting instead of just handing someone a spot.

    Even if TRob is our best option at the 4, he still needs to learn our style of play. I expect him to go to the Dleague for at least 2 weeks.
