    When he comes over, he can meet up with texans draft pick Jeoffrey Pagan and hold a badass Halloween party. We can call it, Walpurgis night.

    Dammit, I sound like Niles from Frasier don't I?

    Nice.

    Had a really good Eurobasket (European championship) last year. Probably Italy's best player in the tournament.

    Had a higher PER than the likes of Nic Batum, Belinelli, Llull, Jeff Taylor, Nando De Colo, Papanikolaou, Casspi and both Bogdanovics.

    Eh, Euro prospect who costs us nothing but Les's pocket money. A+ pick because we lose nothing by doing it.

    I like these 2R picks that pan out. Morey has a good track record with them.

    He's playing for one of the best teams in Europe. I doubt he'll come over to play in the DLeague.

    It was more of a purchase than a pick, and it demonstrates to free agents that the Rockets are aggressive and willing to spend.

    LOL. We probably bought the pick for the Pelies since we owe them $1.5 million.
