Gray, rights to Zubcic, and future 2nd pick for Motiejunas.... call me when you need something else done.

I could handle that, in his 4 games in the D league he showed he can rebound the ball and shot a very good percentage from the floor. It would leave us very thin up front, but maybe when we ship Andrea out it nets us a veteran big man with some girth.

If only you were hired as Raps GM....

+ Patterson (look at current Houston record, they were thought to be bottom feeders, those guys must be playing good), according to Rockets coach no, but the numbers in summer league, D league, Euroleague and games in October say otherwise. He wasn't given a chance to be honest to play at PF, and he's not a C, what Houston needs.

Morris and Jones? He can't out play those two?

It seems like the coach doesnt trust the rookies at all, Morris was a lotery pick and he didnt play at all last year, now his playing time is up to 23mins a game, maybe it will be the case with the other young guys too next year

@LithuaniaBasket Official: Tomislav Zubcic will join Lietuvos Rytas.

The biggest non-news of the day.

PF position is stacked in that team. He refused to play with his national team in order to play at summer league with Rockets, well they turned their backs to him for such dedication.

I personally think he will come over next year. Seeing that we will probably not have a draft pick. I starting to think Motiejunas is that good. First he didn't make his national team and now he can't even get playing time with a young roockets team.

[RandomGuy]

Nah, saw him playing, ordinary big man, doesn't have huge potential. He's poor mans Bargnani at best, I would love to see Motiejunas signed, as he's rotting on Houstons bench, he's too talented to play as much as Acy does, even Acy gets more time... Poor guy, has huge motor, complete offensive game and size for PF.

[swingman]

So the interview with him says he hopes to be in the NBA next year. How likely is that at this point, given both his play level, and the raptors situation?

Yes, we should always give a chance to a soon to be 23 year old who has yet to show he can be a dominant player in a lesser league.

What are the odds this kids ever become a starter in the league? 1 in 50, 1 in 100, or worse?

I don't except him to be starter. I want him to be a good role player off the bench that can stretch the floor. Since Casey loves his stretch 4
