    Lose this win the other hopefully

    Hoping for Zaire Williams to drop
    But unlikely.

    Greg Brown should be 1 of those picks. Though we could probably get him lower

    We can package those with #18 to get the #11 pick that we can package with Wall to get cap savings with :)

    honestly if we get the 18th pick, i think trading all three to move up or using a few of them to get rid of wall will b alright in my book. i rather we tank another year with prospects than an aging star thinking he's hot sht.
    Another year of wall playing like he did is quite dreadful.

    Any chance LTS is available by then? Would be a huge help to the Rockets future plans

    My bbs.Clutchfans.net bookmark is hinging on this 1/2/3/4/18th pick, oh boy...

    18th pick and you might as well throw away your password this board is going to reach levels of whining we haven't seen since... ever..

    I'm not feeling very confident about that at all.

    Wall works with the tank, so then losing assets like picks that we can use to actually get better on getting rid of his contract makes no sense for the future except if you're trying to save the owner money.

    We could just let him do what he did and we can tank, consolidate those picks when something gets worthwhile and something that makes basketball sense. Wall sat out for 2 enitre seasons, couldn't say on the court this year, he works just fine with the tank. Then after this year's tank he opts in most likely and we have an expiring contract or buy out opportuntiy for his last year.

    i am good with you're other idea. if we end up with the 18th, 23,/24 if we could move into the lottery if someone slips through than I'd be fine with that. Next years draft has a deep pool and we eep our pick no matter what

    Trading draft picks- any of them- to get rid of Wall would be useless to us and insane to do. The state we are in now, our sole focus should be on accumulating as many assets as possible, and the younger the better. Getting rid of Wall would do nothing to help that. Unless a max player wanted to come here but right now that is super unlikely.

    Then again, looking at the types of moves our owner likes, this wouldn't even surprise me all that much. And probably try to spin it some way in how it's a good deal for us in the future.

    My current favorite site is http://www.tankathon.com/

    I open this **** every day and simulate 10 drafts.
    Just did it now, and in 7 of them we got a top 4 pick

    PRAY GUYS, PRAY.

    Guys I have a degree in analytics.

    We lost the coin flips.

    Ping pong balls are different than coins.

    We will win the ping pong... flip.

    Weird. If I do the tankathon sim enough, it always comes out right around 50%... What are the odds of that?

    Draft will happen only once. So do only one simulation.
