    I'd also like to know what tools/stats/concepts he uses to evaluate players/our team. And then perhaps flesh it out with talk about why he likes/values Battier (who I think is THE most under rated player ever on this board).

    This might have been posted already but I can't look through 8 pages now..

    You said that the Heat would be a 45-win team with Bosh, Wade, and LeBron. What were the main factors for that determination and why would they not win more games?

    DM-

    + Do you see the NBA teams changing like the different "class levels" in the America. Meaning the rich teams getting richer and the poor teams getting poorer- not just financially but with the players - Ex. Miami getting 3 prime players.

    It seems that the number of teams who have money, good ownership, a good fan base and a chance to win a championship are getting smaller. It is almost like there only being 5 teams in each division with actual talent playing against each other all season long.

    + Do you see the future of the NBA as a smaller league?
    + And how do you see the main talent in the NBA making their decisions on where they will play post Lebron signing with Miami.

    -Why would Kyle Lowry rather be where he's wanted and where the hell is that?

    -Why Rockets no sign High Kwality Assletes? Is Rockets have bad repulation among players for screwing TMaC?

    1. The treatment of spanish talent such as Rudy Fernandez and Sergio Rodriguez seems to have ruined the luster of the NBA. Will players like Ricky Rubio and Sergio Llull ever come over?

    2. Would you ever consider using Astrology as a method to evaluate talent? (lol)

    Mr Morey:

    If David Kahn were to do this same Q/A thing with his fans how funny would it be?

    I agree considering the little remaining salary cap that they have. But it might be a possibility that other good roll players will take a pay cut to join this freakish trio. Especially considering that all 3 have done so themselves.

    How serious will Rockets improve their defense? Will they be top 5 defense team again?

    Hey Daryl . . . remember that time that you traded T-Mac for some picks and bunch of players.

    That was awesome.

    Any concerns on the impending lockout? Obviously he isn't going to show the teams strategy, but his thoughts in general.
