    I see that we gave Denver a protected first round pick for Lawson, but I can't find what slots it is protected for. Looks like we're going to need it this year!

    Houston's 2016 1st round pick to Denver protected for selections 1-14; if this pick falls within its protected range and is therefore not conveyed, then Houston will instead convey Portland's 2017 2nd round pick to Denver.

    It is officially time to start thinking about draft prospects.

    The only question that remains is just how high are the Rockets going to be picking...

    Hopefully if they can keep shooting 3's at this rate they can just lose all of their games. I mean obviously a high lotto pick would be wonderful vs barely making the playoffs and losing in the first round...

    I'm pretty sure it is lottery protected.

    Is it too late for me to get a rep too?

    I still remember last month every player's talking about winning a championship this season. I'll wait for that to be delivered.

    Dwight's gone. Doubt KD wants to come here after this year's disaster. Only hope is to draft Ben Simmons.

    If it wasn't lottery protected I would have even said Morey should be fired. At least we have a shot Simmons if we keep stinking it up.
