    Thanks for posting the video. I agree that there might be a trade to Minnesota, but I don't think that Martin the player that is most likely to get traded. The reason I say that is because ever since McBaby left, we have had a gaping hole at the SG spot. When we did, Ariza was not cutting it (Granted Yao will be coming back this year so that might be different). Morey has tried to get Martin for a while, Martin played in the Adelman offense, and above all he is efficient and gets to the line, and if we learned anything from Morey, the Rockets love that. The players I feel are most likely to be traded would be some sort of combination of the following players: Battier (due to his veteran experience, defense, and his expiring contract), Jefferies (Defense (led the NBA in charges), and also his expiring contract), either Budinger or Hill, any of our accumulated picks, and they would probably throw Ariza or AB in the mix if we are trading for an elite Chris Paul type player.

    Any of the other players except Yao and Scola (especially since we traded Landry and he is a free agent so Scola has to agree to a sign and trade) are also in the mix to be traded.

    Good video DD. lol. You do have some natural abilities in front of a camera, so perhaps you should exploit it a bit further.

    Martin, plus our 14th for their 4th and Rubio? Interesting, but I think Minnie would still ask for C-Bud or Hill and one of NY's picks.

    Good video

    I actually agree with you, but I have a question, do you want to trade martin for a true center, plus Rubio, so that Budinger starts??? Or do you think that after that trade we can pursue the 2# pick, for evan turner(sg)??? Because I actually think that it would take less to have the get the number 2 pick, in comparison to the 4th plus rubio, because for Elton brands contract....

    Kahn has said he doesn't want Martin. And if you think Rubio is going to be traded, I have a bridge in Brooklyn I'd like to sell you. The fact that Kahn is offering Flynn and other stuff for the #10 should only compound the fact that Rubio's rights are not being traded. So let's quit talking about him.

    To make your video more watchable.

    a. cut down on the corny faces, gestures and silly voice
    b. cut down on making wild ass statements like Taylor and Budinger being able to hold down the fort at SG.
    c. Get a chick with some giant jugs to flash us during your video.


    Oh...and his last name is not pronounced "More ay"

    I like Martin a lot and I expect him to come into his own for Houston this year, but there's no way they get the 4 and Rubio for him.

    EDIT: Oh, and Jermaine Taylor is not an NBA player, reminds me of kirk Snyder. Maybe he will be in the future if he can develop a jump shot, but he isn't right now. Bud's not a starter on a playoff team at this point either.

    You lost me at "Chase Budinger or Jermain Taylor as the starting 2" -- neither of these guys is NBA-starter quality, at least not on a contender. Maybe some day, but not in their second years.

    P.S. Love the new Avatar special effects. You're not DaDakota any more -- you're DaDa'kota.

    There is no way the T wolves make that trade. IF K mart was 25 maybe. If they were contenders maybe, butt hey want young talent.

    Isn't he like 26? I mean that is 5 or 6 years of good ball coming up.

    Either way, it was a fun guess on my part, I think the Rox are fine picking 14.

    Got to include, Yao, Von, Mike Harris, AB, Yao, Shane, Maggette and anyone else that moves without the ball and scores efficiently.

    Those guys all have enough skill to be a starter or drop a ton of points(Von) off the bench except Harris.

    Dan Langhi, Boki Nachbar, Spanoulis, Chase Budinger, and JJ Reddick are not starters, but they do have one thing in common.
