    Wemby's going to be a bust. I know because I saw one tweet that had a video of him getting dunked on

    Oh Noes!

    Is @KingCheetah going to post that 40 times, and will he make repetitive jokes about a great volleyball stance?

    He could be a huge bust but I still take him.

    Him growing another 2 inches in a year or so has me concerned.

    He's 7'5" now at 19. He could still grow more. The medical history of people over 7'6" isn't a good one. The human body has trouble keeping up.

    Could be bone issues or possibly issues putting on weight...

    There's no risk in my opinion. If he gets injured, we go right back into the lottery. It doesn't set us back. So who cares. It's all upside. Sampson got injured too, but it didn't stop us. We just moved him.

    We should draft #12 instead of Wemby.

    "I think Houston is a dangerous fit for anybody, because that team is out of control," Windhorst said during an appearance on The Tony Kornheiser Show. "They have have completely destroyed and broken down [head coach] Stephen Silas, who is a good man but cannot handle the renegade operation that has become. Pretty much everything the Rockets do is a mess right now, so if I were Victor, I would be a little bit worried about Houston."

    Most of the time I get the 5th pick from Tankathon. Sometimes I get the no 1 pick and the number 2 even less than that.

    Oh yes. It's the organization that's giving Silas a bad look. We all know he's a good guy. He got what he wanted plenty of times and he couldn't create any sort of competent and competitive strategy. He's had guys who play hard and well stashed on the bench and everyone screaming for Silas to play them, but it's the Rockets organization making that choice for him right? Because they benefit from Alpi on the bench to see how good Bruno Fernando can be. KPJ pg experiment is all Silas. All that said, we were always going to suck a few seasons with this being the final one where we're actually really tanking for a generational talent compared to just sucking past few seasons.

    So sick of people acting like we are here due to incompetent franchise history with terrible things surrounding our franchise or something. We had to get rid our star leader who hurt us badly by wanting to play with his boy Russ over CP3. That leads to suckage. Every single team that loses their stars and rebuilds is at best a 40 win team if you have vets still, but more than likely the worst team in the league. Celtics post Bird. Pistons post Isiah and co. Lakers post Magic with 2 30 win seasons but still had lots of vets and their draft picks turned into all stars and they were gifted Shaq,again post Shaq and gifted Pau. Again Post kobe and enter lebron. Bulls post MJ and Pip and co. Magic post Shaq and Penny. Magic post TMac. Cavs post LeBron. Pels post CP, post AD. Etc, etc. Some teams just got lucky with timing and drafting a major star, but most suck immediately after. In our case, we sucked the past 2 seasons on our, but this is a rare season with absolutely 1 goal in mind and everyone knows it-Tanking. That's not a mess. That's just doing exactly what the Spurs are doing, and no different from how bad the other worse teams suck-some you might say aren't purposely tanking as hard as us and the Spurs.

    Spurs and Pop can do no wrong. We can win 65 with cp3 missing more than few games and push the so called greatest team ever assembled to 7 games while being up in the series and up double digits both close outs without cp and all anyone remembers is we choked..we justified their **** talking about how the Rockets play style was bad for basketball and it would never win. So no mater what we do, suck or dominate, the media is always going against the Rockets.

    This is the way and this is the memo the media received after Game 7 of the 94 Finals and also prematurely ending the new Magic and Kareem showtime of the dynasty of the future in Orlando and thee media will never forgive and never forget. Good. **** them and **** Windy, his sauces and anyone who is spreading this narrative that we're a bad franchise so Wemby doesn't want to come here. I hope NY or LA or GS or whatever big media darling of the time gets to face Wemby in a Rockets uniform and he does them like DR34M done did them.

    As you should.

    The fifth pick is the single most likely outcome per the odds.

    You should see fifth pick 47% of the time.

    Say there are 15 Houston Rockets numbered 1 to 15. Pink Slips of paper containing each of their numbers are randomly placed in 15 closed lockers in a sealed locker room. One at a time, each Rocket is allowed to enter the locker room and open any 7 of the 15 lockers, searching for their number. And afterwards, they must leave the locker room exactly as they found it, and they can't communicate in any way with the other players. If all 15 Rockets find their own number during their turn in the locker room, they will all be allowed to continue tanking. But if even one of them fails to find their number, they will all be released. The prisoners are allowed to strategize before any of them goes into the Locker room. What is their best strategy?

    Does that mean Orlando has now a 18% or 16.5% opportunity at Wemby?

    Their own pick at 10.5% plus the Chicago pick that belongs to them at 7.5% rn..... Boom.

    Edited. It's 1-4 protected and it conveys to Chicago.
