    Thanks for the link. As soon as I saw the title, I knew it was an article for me.

    Sounds like team salary is a much bigger issue these days. So is having the #1 pick that you have to start paying over 5 million a yr a good thing in this year's draft?

    I wouldn't give 10. I'd happily do all 2nds, TPE, rights to Kostas.

    Wtf happened to Robinson? He looked great at KU and its like he totally forgot how to play once he stepped onto an NBA court.

    Smart fucked with his brain, and he didn't really get much of an opportunity in HOU. It's wayyy too early to declare him a bust. I like him as our go-to big off the bench.

    My question is will Robinson turn out to be another Craig Smith? Decent player but can't stick with a team.

    I'm sure we don't have the assets to give up to give the <best> offer for T-Rob.

    Re: 2013 Official NBA Off-season Movement & Rumors

    It seems like we have the best assets to get him, if they really are doing it for cap space. Other than a 1st round draft pick next year what is better than three #2's or an international player?
    They don't want a player right now.

    why would anyone offer the 10 pick for a guy who has so far been a BUST - that's simply crazy

    I've never seen Oladipo play. But SEVERAL people who have say he's a cross between Dwyane Wade and Michael Jordan. Google Oladipo Michael Jordan. Read all the articles and columns.

    Thats how scouts label high school/college players though. Its not "Khawni Leonard looks like a bigger version of bruce bowen" its "Khawni Leonard looks like a mix between Scotty Pippen and Grant hill". They always take hall of famer type players and compare a player to them making for unrealistic expectations.

    Yeah - I wouldn't touch him. It's funny, they say that rebounding is one thing that transfers, but he and Beasley are proving otherwise.

    (Maybe it's a Kansas thing: after all, he was playing behind the Morris twins, and it's not like they've been much cop in the league.)

    This bothers me: it looks like they're trying to hold on to Asik AND get Howard. That ain't right!
