    How the hell did Whitmore fall to 20? What a draft!

    Retribution for not getting a number one pick after we were forced to trade Harden.


    I'm very happy with the young pieces we have. They now need a year under real coaching to see what they actually can do.

    Not everyone is playing unless there’s a consolidation trade.

    I'm still hyped for Whitmore but I saw a weird rumor that Whitmore would end workouts early and vape in the locker room. Hope that's just made up but either way Ime will stop that real quick.

    Ah, I am reading injury concerns and poor interviews. Give him the "go earn a pay check" treatment and see if he gets to work. I think he has the right coaches and owner for it. We get him at $2.5 million a year instead of $6 million. Lucky us.

    Maybe there were some teams he didn't want to get drafted by and this was his *ahem* smoke screen.

    Most pro-Tilman comment I’ve ever seen. It’s gross.

    Maybe the Rockets gave him a draft promise and he tanked his workouts. Little did he know, the promise was at 20 lol

    Actually, after selecting Anthony Black with pick 6, and wanting a shooter, the obvious choice for the Magic was Gradey Dick. They choose Jett Howard instead, usually listed below but a shooter too. Main reason probably? To avoid the Black-Dick jokes
