    "There are multiple teams, I'm told: Cleveland, Minnesota, Houston, who are going to be very aggressive if they're in the top of this lottery with perhaps putting those picks in trades to bring back young veteran players or All-Star caliber players to accelerate their rebuilds," said Adrian Wojnarowski on ESPN shortly before the draft.

    I’m guessing this is a message to Dallas and New Orleans for Luka or Zion respectively

    Tilman will play his banjo atop Toyota Center as it burns to the ground. Hard to get too excited.

    Every GM minute maybe Detroit will be open to trading out this year I’m Lillard, Luka, Zion, or maybe even Steph (I know I know) magically shakes lose.

    Stone is just trolling to get calls though. Wanting to be asked doesn’t mean you’ll go with just anyone to the prom. I would fully expect that the Rockets will take the #2 pick. The other two…. I would be shocked if Stone takes both of those picks and doesn’t maneuver around with them.

    if they trade this pick, then slaps to the dome for the whole front office

    we are too far away from relevance to be trading a #2 overall pick in a strong draft

    Stone was careful to say "if we keep the pick" in his press conference according to Clutch on Twitter. I still don't believe it, though. I have to think a team that with the league's worst record that has as many holes and so little identity would be crazy to try and deal a No. 2 pick in a draft class this strong for a current All-Star. That would be a huge mistake for a rebuilding team, and everything Stone and co. have done the last few months indicate a longer-term rebuild.

    Woj was very confident and we all know how stupid Tilman Fertitta is. Y’all should prepare yourselves now for #2 for low-level all-star trade.

    Stone: “if we keep the pick.”

    Yikes.

    You never say no before you hear the offers, but probably the answer is no for the #2 pick, but the Rockets have more than one first round pick now.
