....wow.

 

 

We really picked Allen.

 

 

It's the 50th pick I know but...cmon. Even that's too early to be picking him.

 

Worst Sixers draft in a long time. D-

Are teams just messing with Silver now? Picking guys just to hear him try to pronounce their names?

 

C'mon Lighty! Or Hopson, or Willie Reed, Ravern Johnson, or Chris Wright.

 

Or take an international player like Zubcic or Benzing or Shermandini and stash them.

I wouldn't say steep considering they got Flynn as well. The 23rd pick is whatever as far as I am concerned and I'd imagine the first next year is going to have some protection, possibly lottery protection.

 

Flynn had an awful year this year, but he does have some talent and Motiejunas could be a very good offensive big man. I think it was a pretty damn good trade for Houston.

 

They do need to make some sort of move with their glut of power forwards, though. Paterson, Morris, Scola and Motiejunas is a very crowded position.

 

And Jordan Hill. Someone definitely needs to go.

 

I liked Flynn at the deadline but the fact of the matter is that he will be the Rockets' 3rd point guard, so I wouldn't weigh his value along with Motiejunas'. Love the trade regardless.

Getting him, whether you are going to flip him somewhere else or hope he can beat out Dragic for the backup PG spot, is still a better asset than the 23rd pick in a shitty draft as far as I am concerned. Brad Miller is a non-factor so really, as far as I am concerned, this trade was Motiejunas and Flynn for a future pick in terms of actual assets. I imagine the future pick is going to have some form of protection on it as well as I don't see Morey giving up an unprotected 1st, so it is unlikely that the pick will end up costing you a top 5 selection or anything like that.

 

I just don't see why you think it is a steep price. Either way, the Rockets got the guy they wanted in the end so I'm sure they, just like you, are very happy with the trade.
