    Very interesting indeed. With Dream there, that makes a legacy of big men.

    The picture of them walking - IS the Beverly Wilshire. I was there a few months ago when the Warriors were in town along with Baron Davis.

    There's 2 bars and 3 restaurants within the premises that I'm familiar with, as well as some amazingly beautiful women here and there.

    He does play in flashes but as you know the rockets are all flash all the time. I think his only weakness may be maturity. Bev starting? Denver destruction?

He shot 25% on 3pters in the playoffs. Dunleavy also averaged 44.2 overall FG% compared to Brewers 42.5%. He averaged 82% on free throws compared to Brewers 69%. He averages 1 more rebound and slightly more assists...

    Brewer is always kicking our behinds, so I guess the eye test failed ;) He does play great defense though, not sure about Dunleavy?

    You have to throw in ability as a defender also, which goes to Brewer. That said, I'd love to have a three point specialist.

    Yeah that's definitely an advantage he probably has over Dunleavy. I don't watch enough of Dunleavy to know for sure. Who watches the Bucks?

    brewer and dunleavy would be perfect. we need a good perimeter defender and a shooter off the bench. dunlevy keeps surprising me year after year i always think he's gonna be phased out of the league cuz he's getting old but always has a good season. plus he's a seasoned vet and has good size for a wing

    Yup 100% the Beverly Wilshire. Been there a ton of times since I have been here living in So Cal

    I definitely wouldn't sleep on Dunleavy. Many sites have him and Brewer back-to-back in free agent rankings for the position, with Dunleavy ahead. Brewer is a solid transition player but he takes lots of risks on defense. Dunleavy is obviously the superior shooter.

    If it came to just one of the two, id take the youth. But both would be great off the bench.

    Hmmm... if I understand correctly, the Rockets caravan were based at Bel Air Hotel in Los Angeles, but the actual meeting with Dwight took place at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel in Beverly Hills.

    So that means Woj was right all along, and this stupid Abraham kid was wrong for "correcting" him.
