    I was upset that we sent a good second to dump Anthony's salary, i'm glad we're getting this pick back. Watch Morey make his second round magic with this pick! Blessing in disguise!

    No seriously, there is a real chance that Denver's 2017 2nd will be better then the Detroit's 16' 1st would have been, with Morey's track record.

    I was more pissed at losing this pick. For all Morey's first round busts and mediocre to poor drafting record in the 1st round, he is a good 2nd round drafter.

    Glad this pick is back.

    DM typically has the green light to buy 2nd round picks. He probably has that light because he's kept Les under the luxury tax.

    So, yeah, we have this pick back!

    but... who cares?

    An asset is an asset. Who the **** cares about Les paying the tax? It ain't my money.

    Not since the Yao insurance money dried up - we bought a lot of picks back when Yao's 15m salary was being covered at 75% from insurance, but since that stopped, we are not buyers any more - or for far less in frequency and cash.

    AMEN brother this team just got a whole lot better THIS season.

    Rockets recently bought the pick for Alessandro Gentile in 2014.
