It should be an interesting year. I am a fan of Lanb and Burks. I will be curious if they can turn into legitimate starting players. I would have been all for giving Utah the 9th pick and 26th pick for Burks and the 21st pick. I wonder if we pushed for that.

I think Shved could have been on this list. I can see him getting a bigger role as primary backup to Rubio and Martinif he comes back improved.

I'm very interested in seeing if Lamb gets more time with Martin out of OKC. He did tear up Vegas so you know he's at least capabe and confident enough to beat up on pseudo NBA talent.

If it were up to me, and Flip probably, Shved would be the primary backup PG with split duty at SG alongside Ricky. I am very much in favor of that move because Shved simply has a better feel for the game when he's running the point than he does at SG. He's not really an off-the-ball player at this point.

I think it will be interesting what the Rockets get out of the PF spot next year. Montiejunas seems to have some aspects from what I remember his strengths and weaknesses to fit with Howard, but we will see what happens.

Shved's key to playing off the ball is if he can actually shoot. There are signs if you look at his stats from playing in Europe than he can. I think people really are underestimating Shved at this point. I am not saying he turns out to be really good or even good but I think he could be a nice player for this team.

Mullens what the hell..he is so insignificant

Also, I think it's foolish to think Burks will break out. Hayward seems to be the #1 perimeter player while Kanter and Favors are going to have the ball a lot. Add in Trey Burke.. IMO Burks is the 4th best scorer in that line up
