Rockets acquire Suns picks, return Nets picks to Brooklyn

So like....what happens if we land the #1 pick...?

 

Say yay and draft flagg? What else is there to do

 

Mass hysteria. Cats and dogs living together. The Rockets draft Dylan Harper.

 

If we land #1, or even #2 for that matter, I probably wouldn't trade it even for Booker.

 

Nice problem to have - listen to trade offers, take the best option between what you are being offered in a trade(maybe Booker) and what is available in the draft recognizing that it is historically very unlikely that we would trade out of a top pick...but we have a 4.8% chance of getting one of the top two picks if the season ended today and I would think Phoenix probably becomes something closer to a play in team before the year is out which is like a 1% chance.

It's shocking that it's a possibility but still highly highly unlikely that we net anything more than a 10-15 type player - which in the context of this team is still a big win as we start to have to pay our guys and will have to soon start cutting ties with some of the vet depth and replace them with cheaper cost controlled options(players on rookie salaries).

 

Big deal. Who wants him, nobody. He would have to wave his salary.

 

I feel like this would be an easy decision to draft Cooper over trading for Booker

 

This I would do.

 

Or trade down one pick and take Harper. But I'd easily draft an 18 year old on a rookie contract over Booker who's a decade older and owed an average of 57 mil over each of the next 3 seasons.

 

plus all the other phoenix picks and nets 27 swap. I love Cooper, but Ant is proven. Amen, Jalen, Ant, Jabari, Sengun. Bench: Cam, Dillon, Tara, Adams = championship in year 5 of re-build. Historic!!!

 

I don't know much about Harper. What would you say his NBA comp is?

 

Ah yes. Mr. I'm 23 why do I have to pass the ball.

 

Are you kidding me? If you aren't in on Ant, who are you in for? Incredibly stupid comment!

 

Ron Harper except a better playmaker and three point shooter.

 

I really really really don't like the SG archetype. Basically midget wings. He has Minnesota 10th in the West and constantly whines to the media....no I don't like Ant. Would prefer Fox, Booker, Brandon Miller, Chet Holmgren (lol)....list goes on.

I'd rather draft Cooper Flagg and run the Terror Twins on ****ing steroids in a few years.

 

I've seen him compared to Jalen Brunson.

 

They screwed their whole team up trading Kat for Randall. Great last year. If I was Ant, I'd be pissed. Booker is FVV with worst defense and marginally better shot. Fox is FVV with better driving, worse passing, worse defense, and most years worse 3 pt shooting. Brandon Miller would be great, but is not a position we need, Chet Holmgren if healthy is critical to OKC. They won't trade him unless they know he will be injured all the time. Name all these others. Ant is only 23. Ant is an MVP candidate and rarely misses a game.

 

Not wanting Ant on your team is crazy talk.
