    It'd be great if we can pick up Pat Bev. if the Magic waived him, provided if he's willing to play for us.

    On Offense he is the guy who brings the ball up and immediately drops it to the combo guard who was Harden at the time or was just a spot up shooter.

    Couldn't they just waive one of the guys they got in the Hawks trade?

    Still not a good return. Maybe he has someone in mind.

    I know this post doesn't really fit in this thread, but I still can't believe how badly the Wiseman pick has turned out for Golden State. Five second round picks? They could have turned Russell into Wiggins AND LaMelo. That's why you always take BPA, especially at the top of the draft.

    Did the Rockets take best player available with Jabari?

    A 20th pick is better than 28-29. That's the best we could expect from moving Gordon.

    Maybe the Rockets didn't do their own due diligence but everyone thought Jabari was the right number 3 pick at the time. I doubt another team would go a different route.

    Easily. Sometimes things just don't pan out. But Jabari was the right choice.

    Like Vic this upcoming draft. He'll probably be the 3rd or 4th best player in this upcoming draft....but if the stars align....

    Hatred for Stone was at a full rolling boil. Now this should bring it back down to a simmer until the draft.

    100%, and anyone who says otherwise is just viewing the situation with 20/20 hindsight. There's not a single team who would have taken anyone other than Smith at that spot.

    I don't disagree, but I will point out there were some analysts who pointed out Jabari's very high assisted FG rate, poor dribbling, and lack of shot creation as reasons why he should be more top 10 than top 2.
