    Excerpt:

    ESPN’s Marc Stein tweeted yesterday that the Rockets have been offered a first-round pick for Robinson, himself a No. 5 selection last summer. From there, Houston would be expected to take an international talent to stash overseas for the year and avoid the cap hit. Basically, they’d be freeing up an extra $3.5 million that was owed to Robinson without adding anything in return. According to Stein, they have interest in Giannis Adetokunbo, Rudy Gobert, Lucas Nogueira, Sergey Karasev and Dennis Schroeder.

    Giannis Adetokunbo please.

    In the small, but still possible scenario of Parsons leaving thanks to Dan '*******' Fegan, we could use a young, athletic defender on the wing with Harden.

    Antetokounmpo might not be available at that pick, as teams are interested in 8-13 range. Karasev would be a good pick there if he Antetokounmpo is gone.

    Looks like we'll have to throw DMO in with the pick to move up and take Cody Zeller. Man, what a problem!

    Which players are planning to come over next year? The ones who aren't must be the ones we are really targeting.

    If Giannis is going around 8-13 we should try to get Cav's pick that they might get from dallas. I can see Thomas Robinson stardom blow up with Kyrie Irving.
