    Dragic's contract expires after next season so I wouldn't mind keeping him for the entire year. He can resuscitate the Houston Dynex sales market all by himself.

    That trade scenario would have both on the Rockets next season.

    This being a little misleading as far as surrendered assets but the point is clear: we lost Harden, we want Cade.

    I still have mad respect for Sabonis the Elder.

    until the last couple of days, I had never spent any time seeing what Pistons fans had to say, and they are so damn annoying

    I like Cade a lot, but you’d swear he was Lebron with Steph’s shooting and KD’s height/wingspan

    Sabonis was still an amazing passer in his Portland days. He had lost all his mobility (which used to be freakishly athletic for his size) after a blown knee, weight gain and aging, but he could still play in the NBA because of his passing ability. He would stand at the top of the key and his teammates would cut and he delivered jaw-dropping pass after jaw-dropping pass--behind the back, no look, through traffic, you name it.

    Evan Mobley and the 13 is worth more than Cade IMO.

    Yep. And the 15 - 17 footer was still automatic.

    Not at all!

    If we somehow manage to convert 23 and Eo into the 13th pick (that's the rumour isn't it?), and then flip that pick and 2 to get Cade Cunningham, then we have done extremely well.

    Cade is a tier 1 talent, nobody else in the draft is!

    No need to sell the farm, we pretty much have Detroit by the balls at the moment. Detroit doesn't have anyone to trade with besides the Rox or they miss out on their guy Green, considering we pick 2nd. We should offer something but not too much, maybe 2, 24, and one of those Nets picks which might not amount to much. Otherwise lets stand pat, pick Green and focus on picking up some quality players later on in a deep draft. Maybe Indiana bites and we get number 13, we definitely shouldn't package that pick either. There's a lot of talent in this draft. Green, Segun, and Murphy III would be great additions if we could somehow steal the 13th pick.

    I love the bonus of Goran Dragic retiring as a Rocket.

    Get one of those picks back and I guarantee you Tilman sells it.

    Well said, I think you articulated how many of us feel, but have had a difficult time describing the sensation.

    Remember Gordon Gecko at the end of Wall Street? "Dump it."

    Making the best of the bad, is all. Ya feels me?

    One of my all time favorites to watch. The rare post who was electrifying with his court vision and anticipation.
