    Detroit: Barring a trade or Cousins somehow falling past Warriors (not happening), Ed Davis will be going 7. Al-Farouq "doesn't make sense."

    I also heard Morey and the rockets turned down the Wolves #4 pick for Jermaine Taylor as well. :grin: Geez the B.S meter as it full tilt right now. The NBA draft is really getting close.

    They wanted us to throw in Kyle Hill and Brad Newley.

    Yea, that's a no-brainer turn down also. :grin: Let's see Jermaine Taylor, Kyle Hill (who is he by the way) and the incredible Aussie Brad Newley for Cousins or Favors.

    Just my opinion, but after watching the events over the last couple weeks (think how quiet it was for awhile, even the lack of rumblings on player workouts) and now the firestorm over the last 24 or whatever it is hours..

    I think that Morey and co. have come to agreement on a trade package that would acquire DeMarcus Cousins even if it is expensive. The Feigan article is a smoke screen trying to cover up that fact. I think Draft Express is one of the most reliable sites around. As well, I believe Clutch and I do think we are just waiting hoping we are not outbid.

    Al-Farouq Aminu reportedly canceled his workout in Detroit. He much prefers going to the Clippers. Has a promise from them. Pencil him in


    1. John Wall
    2. Evan Turner
    3. Derrick Favors
    4. Wes Johnson
    5. Greg Monroe/DeMarcus Cousins
    6. DeMarcus Cousins/Greg Monroe
    7. Ed Davis
    8. Al-Farouq Aminu

    i am curious what expensive means. didn't morey say the martin/landry trade was a high price for martin or something along those lines? for some reason i am thinking expensive to morey is actually something that is fair valued or close to it.

    Robbie, I am thinking expensive will be 2 first rounders and a player like Bud or Hill. I wish they would take 2 first rounders and Ariza.

    But if it were #14+our 2012 first and CBud we would be playing with:

    Yao/Cousins
    Scola/Hill
    Ariza/Battier
    Martin/Taylor
    Brooks/Lowry

    What keeps my hopes so very low in moving up is GMs like Pritchard and owners like Cuban ect. that can foil any pre-draft plans a team has by out bidding or over paying for an asset. Its a doggy doggy business this time of the year in the NBA. The one thing you have to think about with Morey in this draft is he has a war chest of assets the team has aquired to make some pretty good moves and he keeps everything very close to the vest. So who knows.

    So basically what the rockets would be giving up would be Landry for #4 Cousins if that deal happened. How many games did Martin play for the rockets after the Landry/Martin trade?

    Even worse would be becoming the Andrea Bargniani of this year's draft. People seem to forget he was a #1 overall, yet has amounted to nothing special going on 5 years in the league.
