    I'm being sarcastic here - but if we still had Harden here that would've been easier given the disarray we were in...

    Let’s hope Silver does some chicanery during the draft because we surely won’t be a bottom 4 team w current roster.

    Still think we can make the playoffs with Dipo Wall and Wood.

    People are sleeping on Avery Benson. If we tank we'll have a chance at getting him. Of course if we don't tank we'll also have a chance at getting him.

    The Rockets are rebuilding, the playoffs are not a priority. Wall & Oladipo should be traded for picks & some young talent if possible.

    calling someon a slack jawed yokel is tough! He does remind me of the guy from Israel who said he was too good for us.

    Steven Adams should have to submit a paternity test.

    Got to bench or get rid of Oladipo. Expand the trade now or have to wait until March 4.

    We also own our 2022 and 2023 picks outright. We need to tank now.

    We get the worst of the two picks, whichever that is.

    Doesn't he have diabetes? That's a red flag. No wait, I'm thinking of Adam Morrison.

    You have misunderstood the swap. OKC has Miami's first round pick for 2021, and under the agreement, they can choose to swap either their pick or any they own. If this plays out and we land, say, the 6th pick, OKC sits at 9, and Miami at 22, OKC will swap the 22nd pick for our 6 while keeping their 9.

    Yeah, I was about to correct OP, but you beat me to it. From my understanding (someone correct me if I'm wrong), Houston gets the worst pick between their own pick, OKC and Miami. Unless that pick falls in the top 4, in which case they get to keep it.
