    Charlotte is not going any where as currently constructed, plus LaMelo has been hurt. Also, he is due for an extension....all reasons to consider trading him and starting over.

    Did you consider that? Probably not

    Next year if we complete the sequence and get 5 it will go to OKC - welcome to worse.

    Well, other than on the Rockets apparently.....

    Eric Gordon was the best shooter and he was streaky as hell.

    yeah, Charlotte will give up on their player who’s already made an ASG and averaged 23, 6, and 8 in year 3 to start over because “they’re headed nowhere”…and they’ll do that for the 4th overall pick

    lol

    this is so stupid

    unless we can somehow get Scoot, then i agree...who would that proven player be though?

    He's been a ball player for years at this point and is a point guard and he can't even do the most basic thing all good NBA players can do. Looking like the next Ben Simmons to me.

    Let's get to the positives. This draft is stack with a lot of good Small Forward players, and the Rockets do need a small forward.

    Notice Brian Windhorst was the guy with Wemby. The same guy who said he shouldn't come to Houston because of the fake mess the media made up. The nba picked where this kid should go

    We were talking about trading for Jaylen Brown if we didn't get a top 3 pick last week, correct? I think Brown is better than LeMelo.

    So what's the difference?

    As long as he does not have serious mental illness issues, he is not going to be Ben Simmons.

    Jaylen Brown would not accept a trade if he feels the team is not competitive.

    Can the 4th pick even crack our starting line up? Sad we were the worst team in the league.

    I like that take.

    If one is not sure about prospects, just take the shooter or else the defensive player.

    Was there ever any doubt? I’m not a conspiracy theorist, but this is EXACTLY the outcome I expected. Trade the ****ing pick.

    the only reason Jaylen Brown was even a discussion is because he had 1 year left on his deal and people hoped he’d demand a trade…

    LaMelo is a 21 y/o guard who won ROY, made the ASG in his 2nd season, and then averaged 23, 6, and 8 in year 3 that an organization can have under team control for years to come

    comparing Jaylen Brown to LaMelo is pure nonsense

    once again, this is so dumb

    This board is so negative Jesus. Look I get it we’re disappointed in not getting a top 2 pick. But all we can go from here is up. Who is stay ime doesn’t get a good shooting coach for amen Thompson. Ya have to stay positive. Another positive is that Silas is no longer employed by the rockets
