    Yes I couldn't have said it better. The next time Feigen gives us this kind of inside info will be his first.

    Love it... the Chronicle needs him!

    No. DM clearly differentiated the two b/c Hill will play some backup C.

    Also, just because PP was 6 on this year's board doesn't mean that is higher than Hill being 6-7 on last year's board. Depth and quality varies from year to year, but I think this means that the two are prospects of comparable quality, even if they're difft players.

    No worries! You've earned a mulligan with this excellent account of Morey addressing you lucky season ticket holders. :cool:

    I'm guessing the reason why Morey expects the Rockets to be over the cap is because they will do whatever it takes to bring back Lowry and Scola. (Unless they get ridiculous offers)

    Great job and thanks for the news!

    I am not. Ariza is a very, very good player. He can be top notch as demonstrated by the bottom quarter of last season. Right DD? lol

    Yes, excellent post. What I wouldn't give to pick Morey's brain for a few minutes.

    Info most interesting to me:

    1. " Hill is the same size as 50% of the 5's in the league." Hill's minutes next season (if they don't trade him) will be mostly from the backup 5 spot.

    2. The Philly rumor was true.

    3. Hill was top 6-7 basketball-wise. Wow, D'Antoni is an IDIOT. If Lebron knows how dumb that guy is, he will never consider signing with NY.

    4. Morey is tight with Presti.

    5.The goal is to get an elite player.

    6. AB and Budd are most sought after players after Yao. DD wets his pants. :grin:

    And no DaDa 'I told you so' about Bud being so highly sought out, yet?

    Weird. ;)

    Thanks for the info!
    Hope we can get something done before season start. Current roster is good, but its not enough to bring championship.
    Unless, of course some1 improves significantly....

    Giddyup that should teach you to never trust most of the opinions of all of these professional, experienced, NBA scouts and GMs that post on here. hahaha

    Morey knows what talent will help this team. If a player is on this team and is in the rotation, he is a good player. Regardless of what some may post on here. You know most on here want us to have a all-star team in order for them to be happy. We are sitting just fine with the talent we have. If we get Bosh great, if not, we get another FA C and hope Yao can stay healthy and we roll!!
