    Kinda wish we were able to get Lillard in the draft now. If we don't get Lin and end up starting an undrafted rookie... then it's about that time to start searching for a new GM.

    I would have thought Lowry was worth more. Looking forward to rebuilding and having a great pick next year.

    Because the consenous around the league is that Morey HAD to trade him, and Morey had no other options, Morey was no longer dealing from a position of strength, because Gogi left for the Suns, and Lowry made it clear he wasnt playing for McHale

    that's why i really need to see what the draft pick details are. i really don't like the sound of this deal not one solid rebuilding piece in return? withholding judgement, but very concerned.

    If it's a lottery protected pick for us as rumored I don't see how that's not a huge win.

    I'm not sure why you guys think Forbes is an undersized PF.

    I know his buyout is ridiculous but could this open up the door for u-ee (llull) in a rockets uni next season?

    I can hear Charlton Heston from the end of the Planet of the Apes:
    "Oh my God. I'm back. I'm home. All the time, it was... We finally really did it.
    [screaming] You Maniacs! You blew it up! Ah, damn you! God d&@! you all to hell!"

    Jonathan Feigen: Rockets-Raptors pick will be protected both ways. Rockets won't get it if too high, but also will wait if Raptors season makes it too late.

    Gary Forbes is an undersized PF because he is a SF.

    Basically in the same way that Jeremy Lamb would be considerd an undersized PF, because he isn't one.

    Has anyone stopped to think that maybe a pick is the missing piece to a bigger deal. They might just consider this part of trading Lowery for the player were really aiming for.
