    With the recent trade of Landry and as it looks like right now although early it seems to appear that Morey may be relying on the draft to replace Landry.

    The 2010 draft appears to be loaded with bigs and forwards the ideal replacement for Landry.

    Could Morey have made the Martin trade and is now relying on the draft to replace Landry?

    The lottery already has 7 power forwards currently projected in it.

    Yes sir. Although, we would have to miss the playoffs for this to become a reality.

    If this is true, it's time to welcome Greg Monroe. Although I would've MUCH rather have gotten Hill and used our pick on Xavier Henry.

    Henry isn't ready. Heck, I think Udoh out of Baylor is more ready. Plus, Henry is a 3.

    I think Morey's simply banking on the fact that tweener 4s will always be under-valued in the NBA. Whether it be from the draft or FA.

    sad but true. Landry was a beast but at the end you have to sell high,

    size matters.

    sucks still.
