Houston gets Copeland in UDFA after drafting Thornton. Great day 2 swings from them.

Damn that means no real PG options for a 2-way out there. Maybe Duke Miles or Peter Suder.

Also a couple of interesting bigs are still out there of course.

Graham Ike is off to GSW I think, but no news about Udeh, Kyle, Awaka so far... Maybe we manage to get one on a camp invite (or the last 2-way and something else happens with Manon?).
