Rockets have been offered a 1st round pick for Thomas Robinson (UPDATE: So much for "imminent")

True statement. I think it's a risk worth taking @ 14-20...wherever the Rockets (hopefully) move. If he hits and ends up being the next KD-ish type player, Morey and McHale will have their jobs in Houston locked up in perpetuity.

 

A lottery pick, even the 14th again, would be great. Draft Nogueira and stash him in Europe. Then take Glen Rice Jr. with the 34th and call it a day. They both fit our play style and our needs. Sucks to lose TRob this early, but we have to be all-in for Dwight.

 

they should trade TRob for a first round pick in 2014. deeper draft, and get an expiring vet with playoff experience

 

It would actually be great if the beggars could be choosers too

 

Hi just wanted to let you know Tekbo will do more for his country Greece than you will probably ever do your entire life. Good day.

 

But there's still the rookie scale, right?

I doubt Rockets get top 5 pick and pay 4.5 mil for a player. This is probably a late first 1.5 mil-2 mil and would still save 2.5-3 mil for a shot at Dwight or it could be 4.5 saved if they draft a foreign player who plays overseas. Or packaged for something else (least likely but Morey's done it before)

 

But does he speak Nigerian with a Greek accent or Greek with a Nigerian accent? ... I wonder.

 

there are some high falutin idiots on this board who consistently and with no particular reason uses the term racists. A big middle finger to you for freaking confusing racism with inexperience. And a bigger finger when that's your freaking first response to anything.

 

supposedly the Cavs gm Chris Grant has a reputation for "teasing." he gives teams the illusion like he is going to make a trade, but he never pulls the trigger.

 

So my mom was born in California, but her parents were both born in Mexico.... so my mom isn't American then?

Same thing goes for my girlfriend. She was born in Texas, but her parents were both born in Mexico.... So I guess she isn't American either?

 

i have to say ...all this "imminent" talk is starting to give me blue balls.

 

Just watched Trading Places. Good movie on nature versus nurture, but seemed a little slower and a little less funny the last time I saw it.

 

Who gives a flying f**k if he's Greek or Nigerian? The point is that he's an extremely long amd athletic human being who plays basketball. And he's good at it.

That's all that matters.

 

Who was the most successful Nigerian player before olajuwon?
Or Spanish before gasol?
Or German before schrempf?
Or virgin island before Duncan?
Somebody has te be the first.

 

Woah woah! lets not get away from what's important here! His skills in basketball have nothing to do with this!

 

A young, topless Jamie Lee Curtis in her apartment, standing in front of a mirror while talking to a confused, down on his luck Dan Aykroyd. What can one say, except a simply perfect pair? That scene alone made the film. That the flick was also hilarious, with Eddie Murphy at the top of his game, made that one of my favorite comedies. Almost as funny as reading the confused posts regarding the best player to ever come out of Nigeria.

 

The inminent word probabbly comes from the rockets oficce to see if some team hurry up and pull the trigger.

 

Can we please get this thread back on track?

JR save us from the madness

 

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Deckard again.
