    They did just have the #2 pick two years ago and they had pick #14 last year

    Warriors also tank that year because they didn't think it was worth pushing playoffs(they could had made it if they didn't sit curry out most of the year).

    not really. they lost because their players sucked and their best players were injured. That's what happens when Donkey is your best player on the floor for your team

    Klay was lost because of his acl, Steph was sitting out for most of the year with injuries that he should had came back from think he had a thumb injury and warriors had him sit out for like three months when it was reported he could had came back after a few weeks. but that warriors team that year could had made the playoffs.

    I agree.

    Yet players seem to be seeing it different.

    All 3 top prospects qualify as hoopers.

    They are all gym rats.

    I was absolutely disgusted last draft.

    But it is what it is.

    Paolo is in OKC.

    not sure if it’s for a full workout or just an interview.

    i wouldn’t be so certain the Rockets are getting any particular player at this point. All three guys seem to want to be the first pick and no one is begging to drop to 3.

    I’m fine with any of the three but am hoping Jabari goes first.

    When you have the #1 pick anyone is willing to want to go there. i also think the magic are 100% dead set on Smith they had all their young franchise pieces there to watch him work out, I don't think that is a smokescreen, we have to wait and see on when chet does his interviews if he is willing to go work out for the rockets, if he is limiting himself to just two like Smith then he is most likely going #2.

    Why are you just rewording an article about Curry that’s behind a paywall and acting like it’s about Houston?

    I think the only one we can guarantee won't be a Rocket is Jabari, because that's how the world works unfortunately.

    If we get Banchero, he unlocks KPJ. If we get Chet, he unlocks Sengun. That's how I'm looking at it.

    And whoever OKC picks I fear will be the better player, bc that's just how good they are at scouting. Still can have a 2021 situation though, where everybody is good. Here's hoping

    Jabari only working out for Thunder and Magic. Doesn't sound like he's working out for us.

    Jabari was liking and reposting Rockets stuff that had him photoshopped on our colors when we were mocked at the first pick before the lottery.
    I think this is purely draft strategy and nothing against the team. He likes some guys here.
