    Keep that thought. I am sure OKC would love to get their hands on him.

    KAT has all the tools or most of them.

    Just no killer instinct which is rare, KAT is a lifelong second banana but Batman must be dominating.

    DM is singlehandedly a Top 3 performer in these Playoffs...... I do not think Booker is even moved after an above average postseason.

    They could virtually wait until trade deadline and offer him an extension.

    I'd do a Brooks, Landale and 3 for Dejounte Murray. (4 team trade)

    Overpay? Playing time crunch in the backcourt? What do you think?

    A huge overpay.

    I would pick Clingan at 3 and trade Tari for Shepard. Then make a small trade for Luke Kennard. I know that's a lot of white guys, but they would add shooting and size the team is currently missing.

    I bet Stone picks a foreign player if he stays at three.

    I saw that game. We need a center bigtime. I was hesitant on Clingmen but this reminds me of how much we need size in the paint.

    Portland seems set in the backcourt so they may give a little to have a big. We can get ours at 7th. The 14th is draft and stash or another trade down.

    Ingram & Murphy # 17 # 21
    For
    Green, Brooks & Tate #3

    We land our star. Murphy covers Ingrams injury issues. Let the FO do their thing in the draft -> Role players

    We're not talking about achievements. It's about skill set and KAT has a more well rounded offensive arsenal that fits the way this team wants to play. Not being able to shoot clogs up the paint

    GG if not playing a single game last year, and waited till this draft can easily be a top 3 pick, let alone after the flashes he’s shown. Zero chance Memphis not hanging up in two seconds

    This isn't true. They had a 10 game stretch against mostly shiity competition, then Green and the team fell apart when they played teams in the playoffs or the play in.

    If that exact trade happened I think I would stop watching the rockets for a few seasons.

    Do not sign me up.

    A wild one which shows my frustration with this draft.

    Number 3 to the Wizards for BC and their unprotected 2025 first round pick.
