If the cavs get Looney in the 2nd, I'd be irritated lol. Still want R. Holmes now.

Witt said they didn't bring Oubre in for workout in part because they didnt think they could get him.

We're all impatient MFers. So am I. Portis would have helped us right away as a rotation guy at the worst. We just hope that Kelly Oubre can make it in the rotation. So we're going for the future instead of the present.

Not to my knowledge, doesn't mean I can't hope for it to happen ;)

Irrational expectations for him as a prospect anyway, but I love the energy he plays the game with.

Hmm. I kinda don't like the fact that they left. It's understandable that he's disappointed, but I like to see guys who slip stick in there and absorb the situation, as opposed to slinking out of there.

Well he's going to Golden State so I guess he can come back now.

Huh -- the Warriors get Looney. That guarantees he's going to be good!

Does anyone know whether we still have our R2 pick this year? Or is it one of the picks that went to Atlanta?

Looney hip and back issues would of made him a risky pick. Wizards has a history of injury prone players.
