    Because these players make too much sense and fit for system we run.

    Especially AG. :D

    We are not going to draft our superstar in this draft. We caught the Cavaliers slippin and got him.

    We should have 3 good picks in the draft.

    Hopefully our 1st
    Portland's first
    & Our 2nd.

    I'm hoping for Cade with our 1st
    Greg Brown with Portland's
    Josh Giddey with our 2nd

    That's the future.

    I really don’t love AG. I know he’s coming off injury but anytime I’ve watched him I’ve been underwhelmed.

    100% and I probably prefer it being for a later draft.

    I don't want a team of rookies next year. Lol.

    3 new rookies is a good number. For a rebuilding team

    Well then the team needs to keep going at it. Keep tanking or keep trading. Whatever it takes. Not going to win a title without that generational talent. Mediocrity sucks! 1st round exits 2nd round exits suck. I don't want Houston to turn into another indiana pacers or portland trailblazers.

    Rockets with Harden were MUCH better than Blazers or Pacers.

    Rockets were legit top 3 in the West for most of Harden's era.

    It's obvious that Rockets need more size, length, explosiveness at both 3 and 4.

    Cade is the 4 of the future.

    6-8 7-1 wingspan I can’t wait

    Exactly, a team full of rookies will win nothing.

    That is not a championship rebuild, it's a science experiment.

    He is 225, more like a natural 3, same position he played prior to PG.

    And the NBA combine will likely see those numbers adjusted down - 6'7 with 7'0 wingspan.

    Which is still good but not a 4 that can backstop Wood, especially on D and the boards, in starting 5 as well as play small ball 5.

    Your guy MPJ is a much better fit for 4, even if his D is not elite and not as physical as I'd like.

    He is at least 6'10 with 7'0 wingspan.

    6'5 Porter
    6'5 Thybulle
    6'8 Cade
    6'10 MPJ
    6'10 Wood

    That's a young talented team we can all get behind.

    But we need better defensive coaches IMO.

    6'5 Porter/6'4 Wall/5'10 Agustin
    6'3 EGo/6'5 Nwaba/6'3 Snipa
    6'8 Jackson/6'4 Tate
