    What's Plan B??

    I would trade my top pick for MPJ or Pascal Siakam!

    Plan B is to be the worst team in the league again next year and hope for better draft lotto luck.

    But you still have to use that pick. Be it #8, #9 or whatever

    MPJ is worth a lot more than our top pick after it falls out of top 4.

    Rockets will have three first round picks this year. If they do not get a top 4 pick they can use their picks to move up, or draft a high quality player like they did last year in KJ Martin (although he was a second rounder). Or they can trade all three picks for a significant upgrade.

    I would love to have MPJ but he is ballin right now and I do not think Denver will let him go that easy unless there is a fall out between MPJ and Malone.

    Yeahhhhh... idk if you know, but if we don’t get a top four pick, we’re no longer in the lottery. Our next highest pick comes from Miami (a playoff contender) and should fall around 16/17.

    We also have Portland (20) and Milwaukee (24).

    If we don’t fall in the top 4 we’re essentially running it back, unless we somehow secure a complete STEAL.

    Pascal shouldn't be in any plan unless if we already have 2 stars

    even averaging in the cluelessers there cannot be a definitive most to this fan base. I mean, there’s the two of us. For starters...

    it's technically not impossible. OKC might get top 3, our pick, and then Miami somehow lose all their games and get the 9th pick which we keep

    Mpj is turning into the all star I thought he would be. Idiots here arguing with me during the harden trade that they didn’t want him, but but but Marcus Morris. Mpj is worth the #1 pick, also if we fall out of the top 4 there won’t be a pick to trade.
