    Kyle Kuzma was drafted by the Nets 27th pick then traded for D'angelo Russell, Nikola Jokic 2nd rnd those 2 would've been unbelievable in this offense. Rockets scouting must be replaced, Daryl just can't see a prospects true potential in front of him, lack of scouting, Poor drafting. Daryl always boasts about his team on the radio, ESPN shows, but he needs to look in the mirror realize he needs to improve the front office and especially analytics draft methods don't work, and hire people from the Spurs and warrior front office, scouts in Europe and have scouts spread out across the U.S.A.

    You keep making statements like this as if they're known facts. The truth is that this is your poorly informed opinion, nothing more.

    The thing is scouts scout whoever morey tells them to scout. And they collect scouting reports stats and videos and provide them to morey. Its ultimately moreys decision on who to draft or not

    He saw Hardens potential, he saw the Paul/Harden combo potential, he saw Capelas potential, he saw Parsons potential. I mean no one is 100 percent right.

    Hezonja for expiring contract and maybe he does better with our personnel. Ok @D-rock

    I personally don’t care for that Biyombo contract:
    $17 mil (17/18), $17 mil (18/19), $17 mil (19/20 with Player option) you may need picks to move that contract).
    I’m projecting future picks to be used on Ryan with none left to move a big contract like Biyombo later.
    Biyombo probaby blocks LeBron coming to Rockets unless you think you can flip in a SnT with Cleveland
    for LeBron this summer.

    So yes, I’m for mortgaging the Rockets near future of picks to move Ryan now as a means of bringing in LeBron
    this summer.

    It’s pretty unfair to criticize a GM for late picks. When someone who is picked late turns out to be a stud, kudos to that team who picked him but not every front office that passed on him is to be scrutinized.

    What was Morey’s highest pick ever? I think it was Rudy Gay? And what did he do? Trade him for someone who would be immediate help and a great addition in Battier because he didn’t think Gay would be that much of a game changer and he was pretty right there. Not only that, it’s a known fact that had Brandon Roy still been available, Morey would have kept that pick and drafted Roy. Who was the best player from that draft? Roy hands down before his injuries. I think the only other player worth something in that draft was Aldridge if my memory serves me correctly but he was going to get picked near the top anyway.

    Edit: just looked it up out of curiosity. Rondo Lowry and Millsap were also in that draft but again, all picked late

    Bismack fills a better need for Cleveland than Ryno does. Especially if shows up big for the Rockets during our championship run. :D

    I mean the rockets are not going to play those rookies anyways right, green explodes and is on the bench so what chances will the rookies get? Should they do it since they are so close to getting a title? Whoever is coming out of the West is winning it. If the rockets were a few years away then keep the picks...

    These arm-chair draft guys are so silly. Tell me your late first round/second round pick this year and let’s document it. If you miss you leave Clutchfans for good. Anyone can pick out good players 10 years later.

    The Warriors and the Spurs miss on draft picks just as much, If not more than the Rockets.

    The Warriors would trade all their recent picks to have drafted Clint Capela, who is about to get a max contract as a late first rounder, as did Parsons as a second rounder. Give me a break.

    Yes, we must replace our front office with the truly impeccable Lakers/Nuggets FO. They know how to find talent! No luck involved at all when 30 teams pass on the best players in a draft, and sometimes pass multiple times.

    F’ing genius, guy.

    Well maybe he’s just not a good fit for rockets, he has a limited play style and he’s a big who’s really not a big. I feel like the predictability of the rockets 3 game limits Ryan Anderson as a threat.

    On pelicans he was more of a factor because the defense wasent as cautious about three point shooting but rockets are known 3 or die team. Also Anderson had a decent mid range game similar to dirk that he no longer gets to use.

    Ok. I personally would rather have the Dedmon/Ilyasova/Belinelli deal. I might be able to trade Capela the next day
    and have Dedmon cheap the next season. Or move Dedmon easily if Qi or Hartenstein are ready to
    take the next step. If Qi and/or Hartenstein have not been used in a trade involving Ryan or other.

    But ok, I’ll bite on Biyombo deal.

    Lol he was supposed to be the ultimate fit for the Rox that is what is the most illogical, ridiculous and most disappointing thing about Ryan "Mental Midget" Anderson. He is a limited player but the one thing he is supposed to specialize in is open 3 pointers. The oppprtunities to shoot have always been there but Anderson does not capitalize on it. All his issues are in his head, his lack of confidence, reluctance to shoot, bricking open shots etc all these are problems he needs to solve on his own.

    I don't buy that the predictability of the 3 limits Anderson, what about Klay Thompson? Everybody knows Thompson just shoots open 3s or takes it to the rack but he isn't limited. It was actually harder on Anderson om the pelicans because as the only 3 pt shooter he would always be closely guarded.

    If I could pick #1 in the draft every year, I'd be a good GM.

    Personally I think ballscientist1 was sent here to push bad deals to get the Rockets to make a bad move.
    Rushing the Rockets into expending their assets and then not having enough to make a Ryan Anderson
    trade. Guess CF’s are suppose to put pressure on Rockets ownership to make those bad deals.

    For someone who follows the Rockets since the 90’s......she knows nothing about Morey.

    I understand everybody wanting to get rid of Ryno to any team that'll take him, and that's fine, me too, but it'd be really cruel to send him back to New Orleans where his life literally fell apart on him. He does not want anything to do with that city and I think we'd be doing him a MASSIVE disservice to send him back there.
