    it means the rockets won't do something dumb like sign wood to an extension which makes it a win.  maybe they look to package 17 and 26 to move up a little?

    If the Astros hold on to the a 3 run lead in the 9th, this is a damn near perfect day to be a Horns/Houston fan. Oh well, 90% is still an A.

    Getting Bamba for the MLE isn't going to affect anyone's development, nor will it have a negative effect on the Rockets cap. They are going to have $80M to spend next year in a really shitty FA year.

Although that’s true the question I would ask is why?  
why would you mess with your cap sheet for next year?  For a marginal upgrade this year, which will yield a worse draft pick?  No thanks man. 

Absolute dream scenario you get that 7 from Portland and walk away with two potential allstars in Banchero and Mathurin

So what's the consensus on who we should draft? 

Chet. Orlando will take Smith, OKC will out-think everyone and take Ivey, and that will leave us Chet.

as a Rockets fan.. Banchero "falling" to us at 3 is a God send.  One more season taking lumps and getting a top 5 lottery for next June and we'll be set.  Only thing that could make it even better is if Kyrie does walk and Kd demands a trade out of Brooklyn.. those 1sts for Harden look to be golden tickets

If the #3 pick works out this season the Brooklyn scenario may be our best shot at a top 5 pick

I still think this team will have some struggles..  Hope they can trade Gordon for some value (selfishly i would like for them to trade him to a contender by the trade deadline)

No way, Houston is going to suck again. Just look at how loaded and deep the west is

Agreed, just thinking that if we hit on the three pick we will be in the 8-14 range as opposed to the 1-5. (Lucky lotto not withstanding)

I really don't see any way that Houston isn't one of the three or four worst teams in the league. They're going to suck

You are probably right but we will have company as teams tank for Wembanyama 

Including us

and has plenty of injury history. He's the guy to be worried about staying healthy.

Would love to get #7 out of this deal, then draft Benedick Mathurin.

Jabari to Houston

Jabari to Houston

 

I mean- maybe I get orgasmic and Chet falls to us at 3. I doubt it. But who knows. 
Smith has a dogshit 2 point percentage that shows he’s not a creator. It’s the number 1 decider for guys that are good in the nba. His is one of the worst in 10 years of top 5 picks. 
really really really want Chet. 

Jabari makes the long term defensive upside for the team better than Paolo 

I think the offensive two-man synergy game between Green and Paolo would have been special, but Jabari will help space out the offense better; he might be the best pure shooter in the draft

Porter loves the idea of getting Smith over Banchero.

Good lord Adam silver looks ill 

I think he got the Covaids.

Of course, Woj changes his crystal ball 5 minutes before decision time. 
 

Shams is much better now. 

Edited by billfromlaketravis

I mean is there a massive difference between the 3 guys? It’s not like any of them are for sure all stars. Kind of a crap shoot.

Holy shit it's happening.

This is why having the 3rd pick is probably the best. Now OKC has to shit all over themselves figuring out Chet vs. Jabari.

We get Chet now.

Oh please oh please oh please.

or Smith. Of course, Smith never worked out for the Rockets because he thought he was going #1 for 2 months. Haha. I wonder if Smith worked out for Thunder.

I want smith. But I bet okc takes him and we get Chet. Chet size and weight are the obvious worry. He doesn’t even have a frame to add weight like a porzingis did. 

Just now, Wulaw Horn said:

Oh please oh please oh please. 

But if OkC takes Chet and like 25 teams have Smith as the #1 guy I’d sure as shit love to trade down to 4, get Ivey and an unprotected pick 1st rounder from Sacramento. Those are usually gold
