    I remember watching this kid in the rookie vs sophomore game during All Star weekend when it was in Houston... He has some flavor to his game.

    Shaved has tremendous talent.

    I wanted him when he was with the Wolves. Born scorer. Will be better here since he's coming to a winner!

    I'm excited!

    Love me some Shved. Whether he's traded to PHX for Dragic or not.. I'm on board.

    I like this because now we have more playmakers and Harden can rest even more

    Shved, Brewer, Papa, TJones, Dorsey--that will be one fast bench unit.

    Can they turn into something like that Lowry-led 2nd unit in 2009-2010 season which in many games were more productive than the AB-Ariza-Battier-Scola-Hayes first unit?

    Shved can get to the FREE THROW line a lot. Have to suspect that its something Morey values. Shved's regular shooting %'s arent good but he still has decent true shooting because of free throws.

    It might also can mean that T Jones wont be back soon or that they dont have to rush him back.

    Decent pickup

    Wow two awesome pickups and I'm excited about Shved's prospects. Before calling him a SCRUB, think about what people were saying about Jason Terry before the season. I doubt Shved was really excited to be playing on the Wolves and Sixers and now he gets a chance to shine on a REALLY GOOD team that actually seems to WANT him. I hope we give him a chance, and considering what we lost (Garcia and Daniels pretty much) this is a huge upgrade. Rockets had one of the worst bench defenses in the league going into this game, although a significant amount of that was because of injuries.

    lol

    Does sound good but we are talking about a end of bench player. If we get more than that than icing on the cake.

    And Ariza.

    hmmm ... he can develop into our Dragic-ultralite version

    Our team needs someone who can slash into the paint so our offense doesn't end up taking and missing a ton of 3pt shots.

    today we got two--Brewer and Shved

    Dude on 790 who had sources close to the Brewer trade said Shved could be flipped in a Dragic trade
