    Jackson's value is at its lowest. Former 2017 lottery pick (4th overall). Long (6'8), athletic wing that can defend 2-4.

    Jackson does not appear to be in Grizz rebuild plans. Steal him (and Bruno) for a song. Morey loves his former lottery picks and this kid plays position of need.

    Jackson's upside is a bigger Khris Middleton.

    His offseason problems is the reason alone not to even look at this situation. Regardless of him looking ok in Phoenix. You have to wonder why Memphis, a team that is rebuilding is not playing him and sending him in the G league. Why would Rockets look at him?

    Memphis has better young players and vets playing his position.

    Rockets take chance due to need and upside.

    Josh Jackson is terrible. Another low iq Kansas player. There’s nothing special about him. No thanks. There’s already a clone of him on this roster from the same exact school and he might not even make it.

    The rockets need to put their trade woes behind them to stay out of the news. Rockets are not gonna sneak up on anybody with a magicial trade!


    already got house who went undrafted and got it "out da mud"!

    If the guy could shoot 3's better than 30%, I might ignore him being an awful human.

    After reading those articles, I really dislike this man. There's a reason his value is so low. He's almost completely sabotaged himself already and doesn't mind bringing others(including his own 5 month old) down with him.

    Hard pass.

    If you are against it, I'm doubling down.

    Shanghai sharks tomorrow. A Double down might be too late at this point in the "preseason".

    You dislike him for fleeing an area he was told to stay put by security and accused by ex-girlfriend of getting their baby high?

    Same ex-girlfriend who was charged with child abuse, striking child over 30 times with belt and injuries documented at hospital.

    Kid is stupid off court but his actions are not violent or qualify as awful human being.

    As usual, you miss the point.

    It sounds like he has been in a lot of trouble. But the allegation re: getting infant high (per the link) seems like a bs headline for what may be a bs accusation by the mother. She has also been in a fair amount of trouble apparently. I don't put much credence in naked allegations during a split.

    If he wasn’t drafted in 09 then Morey doesn’t want him.

    Let's see first if his upside includes him not going to prison before we sign a headcase with zero IQ like that.

    I would be in for this for zero cost. Vets around him might help
