    Somethings read different in print than they sound when they're spoken.

    Josh Selby at this stage of the draft would be down right robbery... according to Yahoo!/Rivals, he was the #1 prospect in the country this time last year. He's explosive off the bounce, and not sure if it's a good thing, but he compared himself to Stevie Franchise.

    Get a clue -- he was probably laughing when he said it. He seems like a good-natured kid. Made that joke when interviewed about his brother getting drafted. I seriously doubt he said it in an annoyed or surly tone.

    Man, some of you guys read bizarre stuff into just about everything.

    Tragic is staying as espn is already reporting that Houston is already trying to git rid of Flynn.

    You can not grade donatas until he plays

    What's wrong with calling out some BS when you hear it?

    Marcus is a natural SF......his brother is a PF.

    Ask a question when you just said the answer right before......i mean....I dont blame him....call 'im out.

    That aint a sign of "attitude".....just an observation with a comment to let it be known.."uhhh....flip flop much?" lol

    Don't get me wrong, there's about a 90% chance Tyler is a bust. The problem is that if everything works out really really well for Parsons, he'll be the 7th-8th best player on a team. Why not take a shot at a guy who could be a real star if all the stars somehow align?

    STEIN_LINE_HQ: Why would Flynn be available already? Rockets swapped B. Miller for Flynn to A) get Montiejunas and B) get under luxury-tax line for 2010-11

    Whats wrong with getting Morris? Hes a big SF that can post up, drive to the basket, and has a mid-range game.

    Uhh, no.

    We've already let teams know Flynn "is available". It was tweeted recently.

    I'm sure Dragic's option WILL be picked up.

    Brooks and Battier were likely going to be offered more this off season than the Rockets wanted to pay them.

    I believe Thabeet can be "let go" if they feel he won't work out as long as it's by a certain date - October something I believe, but I could be wrong.

    So, with Brooks and Battier likely being gone as free agents this coming year, we got Dragic (and a pick), a chance to look at Thabeet and we got rid of Miller's contract for the rights to Donatas (not that I'm high on that guy), although we traded 38 (then bought it back) and a future first to do it.

    Not "great", but not near as "dire" as your post made it out to be.

    Jerry West has big ones, apparently.

    If he has work ethic, he will turn out to be a decent players.

    Why are people making a big deal out of Flynn? This deal was for Motiejunas, not Flynn.

    His teams win 17 games a year with a boatload of lottery picks and you call him underrated? Ok. Thanks for posting, Mr. Khan.
