Could someone please get coachbadlee to understand that? He's been hammering us relentlessly with his Superbench! concept for a week now.

 

Adrian Wojnarowski: Y! Sources: Cleveland's intrigue with selecting Syracuse's Dion Waiters at No. 4 gathering momentum.

 

"...but the top of the draft after Anthony Davis is made the top pick is considered unusually unpredictable."


man, common did they lay off the editors mid read over at the chron? Wouldn't surprise me.

 

If rockets are so desperate to move up the pick, why not just tank a season to get a higher pick, much easier than sending all those assets to move up the draft one spot by one spot, even with those two deals, still no top 10 picks yet. and sending your starting center for just moving up two spots from 14 to 12? Heck, even tanking the last two meaningless games after play-off run over might be enough to move up the pick from 14 to 13.

 

The Rockets want veterans, the high picks are a way to get them those proven players and if teams don't bite, they will still have good players.

 

Because the Rockets have honor and won't short change the system.
