    Some of them are easy, others really impressive, if only we could
    convince him to play here...we should've worked out a S&T with him
    before we went after Pau! Now with CP3, Butler & Billups, he's not
    going anywhere.

    We could have and should have drafted him.

    One thing I took from last night is that if Biedrins could ever stay out of foul trouble he would be an absolute beast! The kid was better than Jordan by a lot while on the floor, of course as long as fouls are part of the game....

    Is it me or is he the best rim protector in the NBA. I know we have Dwight but some of those blocks he had last night were kinda amazing. This guy can really play and help this Clippers team a lot.

    DPOY!

    Dude had great timing. What is his wingspan?

    Looks like he can reach out and block a dude's 3 point shot from the paint.

    Morey chose 6'7 Joey "Ray Lewis w/a basketball" Dorsey over 7'0 hometown boy Deandre Jordan. :eek:

    It's an old Houston story that repeats itself in every professional sport. We pass over our Texas grown talent & watch others enjoy the fruits!

    He is the same height as Dwight... but I think DeAndre is longer. Hence all the crazy blocked shots he got.

    Yep - that was back when Morey was more interested in college production than height, he has since gone out of his way to take "Right sized" players.

    Morey is a r****d when it comes to drafts, almost the same as CD. Why can't we ever get a good GM who uses his common sense and technical knowledge ??

    He got us AB and Carl Landry.
    As well as Chase and Marcus.

    He is good at judging offensive potential, but when he tries to draft good defenders that is where he fails miserably.

    Given his draft position, Morey has done an above average job. All GM's have a few misses, and Morey is relatively new. That's why I want us to tank and get a high draft pick to really see what magic he can produce with a good pick.

    To say he's a r****d in drafts is just incorrect. That label is reserved for the likes of MJ and them.

    Really? Morey's drafting has been one of his strengths. You know it's good when people are b****ing about his failures with the 33rd pick.

    It's not like Morey was the only one to hit on late picks in that 2007 draft. Sure, he got Brooks and Landry, but here are others that made it later and are still contributing in the league:
    Arron Afflalo
    Tiago Splitter
    Glen Davis
    Josh McRoberts
    Kyrylo Fesenko
    Dominic McGuire
    Marc Gasol
    Aaron Gray
    Ramon Sessions

    Dude we need stars! Who gives a damn about how well you draft in the 33rd posistion. If you dont have Atleast one All WORLD TALENT, you dont have a chance. What steps is he taking to getting that player?
