    Great news. This is the strongest card we could have played.

    "With the 1st pick of the draft, the Rockets select...."

    Bring it home to us, Hakeem!

    I think Tilman is smart enough to know that if we lose the pick and wind up with #18, his dumb face in a meme will be everywhere. He'll surely stay away, all downside, no upside.

    Meanwhile, Hakeem is Hakeem, who cares if he doesn't win the flip. Tilman is the idiot, not him. This was the correct answer all around.

    If Tilman was a better owner, we wouldn't have to send Hakeem to be our good luck charm to this draft and instead we would be in the playoffs kicking ass.

    Hakeem is about to suit himself up next season. Tillman and his sons too.

    KP Jr? Only Jr on the team is about to be Fertitta Jr.
    Wood? Lumber is too expensive these days, time to sell high.

    Time to hope for lotto balls that continue the tradition of #1 picks in Houston:
    • Elvin Hayes 1968
    • John Lucas 1976
    • Ralph Sampson 1983
    • Hakeem Olajuwon 1984
    • Yao Ming 2002
    4 HOFers in that group.

    I wouldn't mind Dream getting lucky with #2 or #3 either...

    Well, that's that. Silver will deliver. Never a doubt.

    Just makes the embarrassment and disappointment once we lose the pick even greater.

    Meh, I don't care who is going to the lottery, the Rockets are going to lose the pick either way. The only person that will be laughing at the lottery is Sam Presti.

    Huge move by Tilman way to pull it off Tilman.

    So much for him not paying to keep the dream on retainer right??....

    Obligatory reminder we're only in this position because Tilfart drove Morey, D'Antoni, Tad Brown, and Harden away from the team while forcing the front office to give up CP3 AND multiple first round picks in exchange for Westbrook, all along penny pinching his entire staff and getting rid of valuable role players to avoid the LTS. Thanks Fertits, we would not here without you, let's hope we don't lose our top 4 pick on June 22nd!
