Thomas Robinson traded to Portland

guys Im really pumped we got papanikoulaou. He could definitely be a contributor when he comes over. Still got upside

 

So JLin stays?

 

Pretty sure Kostas could play the SG or SF spots which we need on the bench in the future

 

Any update on any protection the picks may have?

 

If we don't get Dwight mannnnnnnnnn

 

Hibbert still holding a grudge I see. He needs to get over it. He was not going to beat out Yao for a starting spot.

 

P Pat.

 

I wish Robinson good luck. I really hope he succeeds in the league.

 

Hibbert may be right, but if the haul is Dwight Howard in the end then the only team he'll be making pay is the Kings.

 

Wish T Rob woulda been great for us. However, I'd rather get a "proven" Center who is best in the league than build up some potential guy that might end up being Stromile lite.

 

funny thing is, the nbadraft-net website compares him to boki

Im pretty sure that a trade might still be possible. If the organization really doesnt value jlin that much they might prefer the cap space to get some quality bench players. really all depends on if they really think beverly can be starter material next year or not.

 

Essentially, we got 4 2nd rounders for TRob. Works for me. Much better value than a mid to late first rounder in my opinion

 

Nah, both have 1st-2nd round trade value.

 

lets gooo!!!!

 

Agreed, especially with Morey's track record with 2nd round picks.

 

@KBergCBS: Sources: Confident in their pursuit of Dwight Howard, Rockets make Asik, Lin available in trade talks.

I will hate this move if we don't sign Howard.

 

So we're getting Howard?
