    Charlotte is not trading LaMelo Ball for the 4th pick, y’all really need to stop with that

    Who on earth would take broken jumper Thompson or Jarace Walker over LaMelo?

    they can just take Scoot or Miller and move forward with them next to LaMelo

    There was only a 14% chance of the Rockets being in the top 4 the 3 last years. We haven’t being as unlucky as it seems

    If this is was rigged, then it's on Till and Ralph. This rebuild is taking a minute.

    That's my point! If we trade them #4, they can pick Scoot at #2 and recalibrate. Then pick again at #4

    86% Not getting the 1st Pick plus Rigging for the Spurs.

    Everyone in the Media knows Adam Silver Rigs Picks.

    Why the hell would they care about picking again at #4? Nobody is taking who’s available at 4 this draft over LaMelo…

    Recalibrate what? That makes zero sense for them

    I'm not sure the Blazers hold onto that pick. They have talked Lillard into staying with promises of trying to win sooner rather than later. Adding a 19 year old will likely not do much to convince him further.

    I am literally sick over this unmitigated disaster. No idea what Stone will do with or to the #4 pick. If there's any way to get Dejounte Murray, do it. Whether at #20, or with an acquired 2nd round pick, or as an undrafted free agent, Jamal Shead would be a decent defender and reliable ball handler at backup PG. If KPJ and/or Harden are on next year's roster, I'll have to take sabbatical from my Rockets fandom. I just can't feature another year of unwatchable bs. IMHO, PG is the most critical position for our improvement. Stone had better focus there.

    thats how you get stuck in rebuild hell for years and years. Ask the Sacramento Kings how long it took them.

    This current team plus any of whitmore, thompson, miller, whoever is going to make my eyes bleed.

    Pray for Victor?

    Hope for James?

    Go to sleep for 5 more years?

    People are way too down on Amen. He’s got star upside. All he’s got to do is work on his jumpshot, that’s a skill that any player can improve.

    Just as unlikely that they got the #2, #3 and #4 picks in consecutive year. It can always be worse.
