    Mac can shoot, he has one of the best strokes on the team. Why they don’t fall I honestly don’t know! Change of scenery might do him some good because he’s not worth much on this team.

    Makes alot of sense to get that protection off? Maybe worth Pj Tucker. I can understand that.

    I would gladly give up Dipo and Tucker to add full lottery protection on this years pick.

    Exaxtly! So why ask or expect him to dribble around, drive to the basket, or make passes on the move when he is incapable? The only thing the is capable of is elite shooting and now his confidence is shot to hell because he’s failed at all that other stuff that he just can’t do. He is not a fit in Silas’s offense. From the looks of things, none of these guys are. I see it, most here see it, at what point does the coach need to adjust his system to the players that he has to work with? You’d think having the worst offense in the entire NBA over an extended period of time might be a wake up call.

    This draft is too good. OKC wouldn’t budge on the swap with HOU.

    I would enjoy games more if I knew we weren't at risk of losing a lottery pick. Get it done Rafa.

    For me the problem has always been his defense. Would much rather have green

    Westbrook trade continues to haunt us, I think the management team and coaching staff should have done more to intervene the drama surrounding Harden and Paul. They would have been special, I get it no one would have thought Paul had so much left in the tank.

    I dunno. Right now it’s less than 50% they get it at all and a 33% it isn’t the 5th pick if they do get it (draft is deep but there’s a clear top 5). I could see them giving it up for something more tangible.

    Amazing. Had no idea that could be negotiated. Learn something new everyday on CF's.

    There wasn’t any drama. Harden was perfectly fine playing with CP3. The issue was the big child who owns the team.

    PJ trade coming soon according to his Instagram. On a plane. Peace sign. Philly rapper. Morey is going to fleece us.

    agreed. No way OKC works with us on that pick. They are thinking they have a 40% chance at that pick and they are probably not far off. But I do think we can get extra picks for Tucker and Vic. I’m gonna give the benefit of the doubt to Stone but I see what he gets for Vic as part of the Harden deal. If he gets another 1st I’ll feel much better about that trade.

    Rather have 3-D switch everything G League MVP candidate 6'8 Paul Reed than a SRP.

    Or package BMac + PJ for Thybulle.

    How many rookies do the Rockets actually want for Pete's sake? Picks for the sake of picks is not a strategy.
