    I'd think the term is avocation. The application thereof can, and has, turned into positions. (See today's Bostonglobe.com, football notes.)

    I'd think the term is "basketball fan." Proclaiming yourself to be a scout that is analyzing players for the NBA draft without actually working for anyone is ridiculous... You don't get a job "scouting" by simply watching basketball games and telling people you're an expert.

    Which would mean no money for Sergio Llull if he were an option?

    Essentially yes, unless the Rockets open up significant cap space by trading Ariza (which I've argued for but don't see happening).

    Rockets have to use the MLE to keep KJ McDaniels, pursue Llull and bring over Gentile.

    LOL

    We will see if Morey is truly a wizard!

    They have only the MLE for Josh Smith.

    Nobody can know what Morey will do this summer
    Now he is just searching all information to serve his future desicion
    It's too early to say anything

    We will trade Papanikolou at the draft in a package to move up for D'Angelo Russell.

    Why the hell would you argue for trading Ariza? he is the main reason our D is better this year. God knows where we would be without Ariza this year.

    Has Carl been giving you trolling lessons? Your posts have been amazing lately... But very Carl-esque

    haha. true. that's why I said Pap would be traded in a PACKAGE to move up. His team option contract is favorable. I'd hate to part with Jones or D-Mo. Perhaps LLull, Papanikolu, New Orleans pick and the Knicks 2nd rounder or future 1st rounder.

    A healthy Jones makes Smith redundant.

    Doesn't seem to be as athletic as Parsons, but is definitely much stronger.

    Looks like an interesting player, but he desperately needs to improve his 3pt shot if he is gonna do anything in the NBA.
