the rumor is Rockets is very high on Marquis Teague and might use #16 to take Teague. i like him but just think he could be had in the 20s. Morris is useless on this team as long as Parsons and CBud stays. so here's the question: Would you trade Morris for Marquis Teague? maybe one of Boston's picks. we then keep the #16 for a big slip out of lottory: JonesIII/Sullinger/Moultrie/...
Honestly, I don't see them drafting a PG unless they trade Lowry on draft night. If you draft a PG, Lowry's stock drops even more since teams now know you are packed at the spot. If a team that the Rockets talk to is approached, they will assume we will try to resign Dragic since we won't start a rookie PG and know we drafted Teague to replace Lowry.
We could just trade down using the 16th pick it self. Boston's 21st and 22nd pick seem like good value in return for it... Not to mention Marquis Teague should still be available around those pick's, and so should Evan Fournier. The guy who according to sources the rockets were keeping a close eye on during the Addidas Eurocamp.
Trade one guy who doesn't play for another guy who won't play and will be sent to the D-League? IDGAF
The above statement is true and has allowed us to find steals but also miss on players who would have filled needs. I love that we go after the BPA but I also hate it.
