    A big trade for a superstar or S&T and/or a big FA signing.

    It's basically impossible. I mean, I don't know how it happened. I had him top 5 comfortably and wanted him at 4. His interviews must have been REALLY really bad because the kid can play basketball.

    KMJ is gone. Christopher and Garuba are destined to be bench guys imo. Tate doesn't need development he is a vet.

    I’m good with a combination of or all of those guys going in consolation deals. Like them but it’s time to trim some fat.

    I know I watched him fill it up...but, just read article on his shortcomings, and they are many. saying why he may fall out of the 1st round .

    But giving Tate minutes takes away minutes from Tari and Cam. And Tate's not good enough as a veteran player to be getting 25+ minutes a night ahead of superior young athletes still trying to develop. Also, if the Rockets are targeting vets, they need to be looking at shooters. Tate is anything but that. I like the guy, but he'd my first candidate for a trade out of Houston.

    I think Tate + Garuba (maybe a pick) are getting moved for a vet...
    Collins or Capela?
    Bamba?

    I believe groupthink is the culprit. Once a guy drops a few spots, each successive team doesn’t want to be the one that’s “out of the loop” and making a sucker pick. We were lucky to already have our guy at 4. Kinda surprised Orlando didn’t take a swing at 11
