    I am just wondering if the Rox can get Othella back from Vancouver, via trades?
    i.e trading #9, or drew or some other players?

    May I be the first to welcome you to the board 3FRANCIS. Anyway as for your point A: Why give up the nine for a player like Othella when we can draft someone much better. Also there isn't really any point in getting Othella back as he don't really fit into our new system and besides he would be little more than a backup, which Kenny Thomas can do more than amicably. The Rocks real need is a strating pf, someone nudge Brian Grant.

    Don't get Skypilot involved on that again. The 9th pick is way better than Othella. If we're going to trade that pick, we need to do it for someone like Austin Croshere or Brian Grant. Also, I seriously doubt if Othella would fit into our current system, like who said. He is almost like a black hole- he has very little passing skills from the post, and on this team passing is something we need. Also I don't know if he could play our style of open court ball either.
