Yeah, this is the guy that has me excited about the deal. Maybe part of Morey's obvious pumped up attitude, as well, although we're all hoping that's due to Dwight coming to Houston.
Really, we already had TJones and Motiejunas in the same developmental PF role and there probably aren't enough minutes for the two of them much less all three. So really this trade doesn't have any negative impact on the team. The only loss would be if someone thinks TRob was the better player out of the the 3. Class kid, good luck, don't come back to bite us.
Morey might have just replaced Delfino for pennies on the dollar. The kostas kid is a stud. Not to mention the two picks.
Will another trade be made before the meeting? Woj says we have the cap room to offer a max contract, but I thought we needed to make another small move.
And then we use that bag of chips to lure Dwight. Because he's all about getting the chip (and the Benjamins).
So the Greek guy apparently is seen as NBA-ready now. The Knicks were after him just last week, http://www.nypost.com/p/sports/knicks/papa_shot_RrBjOOwiJyQYoFmO1xmBZJ Sounds like a reasonable prospect to me, with another big man and 2 future 2nds to go with it. Well done, Morey.
Portland got themselves a player.... I hope he finally gets some tick to show what he can do. Cannot WAIT for the jokers on here that clowned him, get convenient amnesia and cry "what if!!" in a few years. Good luck, TRob.
TRob will be fine - top 5 picks almost always pan out. My personal nightmare is now facing Portland in the first round of the playoffs one year and having TRob outperform an aging, injured Dwight Howard.
