    Yeah, no way he can pack that on.

    I'm certain he actually loses weight as he ages.

    Adding 20 lbs is just too unrealistic.

    A conversation is at least something.

    Stone couldn't even get conversations with Chet or Jabari.

    Well.... yeah, Ivey would LOVE to be taken #3 since he's probably going #5, for Chet or Jabari being taken #3 would be a failure for them.

    Stone is playing 3-D chess while everyone else is dry humping each other.

    Its genius to move up to #2 or #3 and still take the #3 overall consensus prospect in this draft.

    Stone must do everything possible to get his favorite player from Seattle amirite?

    Nah, impossible.

    Fake news.

    I was told that Jabari's lack of dribble or poor 2P% was impossible to overcome or improve.

    Lucky to even be lottery pick amirite?

    Adding another playmaker to Rockets starting 5 is not just the most important factor but the ONLY factor.

    Playmaking is the most critical skill for every starter, every backup, even end of bench players - who cares if there is only one ball.

    Amirite CF???

    Pretty bold statement since that all but ensures we take Jovic with the BKN pick.

    Would Holmgren not release medicals and not opt for heart screening because of an OKC promise or because there are issues? Not sure how to read it.

    I trust Stone to get a good player in the draft. But I don't trust him in Free agency

    Exactly! I like Jovic, but team I'm working with that loves International prospects isn't looking at him. Makes me wonder what's up?

    Good question. As I've said before, I'm good with whoever falls 2us. Not really excited about giving up assets to move up.

    That’s disappointing to hear.
    I think he has the potential to be the best offensive player in this draft

    How is Jovic that much better than Vrenz Bleijenbergh?

    Serious question, no judgement.

    My NBA comp for Jovic is Kelly Olynyk. Without the intangibles.
