    I’ve been waiting on this day for months. The playoffs sucked without us in them. Road back to the promised land starts tonight!

    I am on a damn plane, which may or may not have Wi-Fi, for 8 hours directly over the draft. Which it will be at 4:30am local time, so even if we have Wi-Fi somewhere over Iran, I will be asleep

    This is the worst…

    20. Traded for a vet (Capela?)

    Spoke with Nenê today and he was saying how badly the rockets need vets in the locker room and that our new kids on the block are spoiled by management

    I'm going with:

    4. Amen Thompson
    20. Brandin Podziemski

    Trade-up target: Dereck Lively

    Drafting Amen will present the Rockets with the exact same issues they have been dealing with for the decade or so. Trying to force a SG to play PG. Like trying to shove a square peg into a round hole.
