    I wonder how much of the current dynamic is "Nate trusts Blake", and how much is "Roy wants him out there." When Jack was here, there were times you could tell that Roy really didn't enjoy being on the floor with him. It wasn't about "mistakes" either....if that were an issue, Roy wouldn't be so tight with Outlaw!

    How about this. There isn't anyone in the draft who is obviously as good as Rose or Paul. Those guys were obviously going to be players in the league. Not one guy in this years draft has been as impressive as those guys were. Is it possible that one of the players drafted turns into a great player someday? Of course, but it is highly unlikely.

    Grass is greener syndrome.

    Blake ain't all that, but he isn't horrible.

    Well, compared to Chris Paul he is, but that isn't a fair metric.

    On a scale of 1 to Jesus, how do you rate?

    On a scale of 1 to Gandhi, what is your number?
