    Why?

    1. Picked 15th in Morey's favorite draft (2009): Now that we've exhausted lotto bust from 2009, time to move on to the first non-lotto bust.

    2. A capable 3 point shooter at 6'11'', a spread 4 candidate.

    3. Should be available for fairly cheap, possible minimum wage. Likely unrestricted since it's doubtful that Memphis would make him a $4M+ qualifying offer.

    4. Long time friend of James Harden.

    For cheap, it couldn't hurt depending on some senarios

    He weighs as much as Jeremy Lin does. I'm surprised he hasn't been blown away by the wind yet.

    Would be a concern with Dwight in the locker room.

    Daye is solid. If we can get him on the cheap, I'd definitely like to have him.

    Darrell Murray doesn't care about anything but Dwight right now.

    I am fine with it, but Austin Daye strikes me as a player that has a lot of potential, but not a lot of proof

    Kinda don't want, Harden may have so much fun in those dinky places, he forgets he is a basketball player, not a playa.

    If we can get him LLE, why not?

    AD would be a good fit, stretch four, value play, a Morey move. What we still hope DMo and TJ will become. That he's buds with Harden back to AAU is a plus, as long as they keep the VIP room visits in check.

    Any way Morey could make this happen?

    Lin/Bev or Bev/Lin and AB
    Harden/Oladipo
    Parsons/Anderson
    Daye/DMo/TJ
    Asik/Smith/Ohlbrecht

    I wouldnt be against it. Could be a solid (young) addition to our bench

    Obviously, Harden doesnt need basketball shoes to ball. Slippers work just fine.

    How do kids play in clothes that are that baggy? I see it at parks or at the some random courts all the time and it just looks dumb. There is no way that doesn't get in the way for a lot of people.
