    What kind of player could the Rockets get for 2019 first round pick? (Potentially packaged with Gordon or Knight).
    On December 10 2018, The 2019 pick has a 23% chance of being a top-4 pick, and a 92% chance of being a top-10 pick. Obviously, the current team can improve over the rest of the season, but could also get worse if an injury happens or chemistry deteriorates.
    By the way, if Morey really wants to improve the rosters and not shed the salary, he would have traded 2 Seconds via 3rd team for Kyle Korver or Kelly Oubre.
    In short, Morey never had plans to go far into the luxury tax, summer track record signals he'll trade picks to reduce luxury tax.

    Ok, now I'm curious who's alternate account this is. The "speech" patterns in this post are drastically different from his previous deluge of thread starters.

    To answer the question, unless the player incoming is high level role player or borderline all star, keep the pick. Just in case.

    Just because Morey hasn't made a trade yet doesn't mean he won't.

    Yep. Tries to speak in broken English but forgets and lapses into complex sentences.

    I wouldn't care if he didn't insist on starting so many bad threads.

    What do I think is going to happen or what would I do ?!

    What I think will happen is Knight is packaged with that pick for little to no incoming salary to escape the luxury tax.

    What I would prefer ?? …. Keep the pick unless I'm getting an impact player in return. No Corey Sewer type but a bona fide starter that I'm able to retain beyond this season at a reasonable cost.

    Pick traded for a bum like Jordan Hamilton, Kevin McDaniels Jr., Corey Brewer or Terrence Williams.

    99ers will not have accounts other than 99er accounts
    It’s beneath them to be amongst the villagers
