    Is Brockman a PF or C? Dont know much about him and where he fits in though I was gonna say Landry and Thompson split time at PF and Dalembert and Cousins split at C. Seems reasonable. Dalembert potentially only a 1 yr guy there.

    They could deal Dalembert in February to a contender as well...he's going to play better than last year, seeing as its a contract year.

    If the Rockets won't be able to move up or if they believe its to expensive to move up, I have a feeling they'll move down and try to pick up Minny's 16 and 23 picks.

    Yeah they could do that as well.

    Potentially looking at the Top 10 of:

    Wall
    Turner
    Johnson
    Favors
    Cousins
    Monroe
    Davis
    Aminu
    Babbitt
    ???

    I think it would be absolutely HILARIOUS if Minnesota threatens to take Cousins hostage at #4 just the way New Jersey is playing games with Wesley at 3.
    :grin:

    People have stated that everybody lies this time of the year and that both drafters & draftees have smoke screens out the whazoo. This kind of misdirection makes me more confident that Morey will somehow come out on top at the end of the day.

    Maybe. They're desperately looking for a PG though. I'm not sure they'll draft a PG at 10 but would trade it if something they liked(a PG they like) came their way.

    Boy. If Minny would take #10 and our Knicks picks for Rubio, I would be so tempted to trade AB for #10, then buy a 2nd rounder and draft that kid from Cal or Jeremy Wise in the 2nd round to back up Lowry.

    You have to be kidding right. Zoubek is 6 fouls waiting to happen.

    Beyond the first 6(Wall, Turner, Johnson, Favors, Cousins, Monroe) I'm not really impressed. Who would you grab at 8 or 9? Aminu? Babbitt? Babbitt I could maybe see. I know some on here like him. Udoh? I dont know.

    Do you have link to those posts, if you dont mind me asking? Thanks :)

    The league's fastest improving shooter, MIP winner, 20 point per game scorer,for the #10. Not one of your better posts.

    Maybe we will get a word in once Minny stops raping the draft.

    No. The league's fastest improving shooter MIP winner, 20 point per game scorer, our #14 and the Knicks pick for the rights to Ricky Rubio. You gotta pay for greatness with a lot of goodness.

    Yea i know the FO wouldn't do it, but some of the posts just don't make any sense. Thats who I'm mainly adressing.
    BTW, I'm not a big rubio follower.. whats so good about him that's worth giving up kmart or brooks
