    #2 is a great get when we could have gotten nothing after being the worst team in the league

    This revoked a 1st for the CP3 for WB swap which is god damn deserved

    Green or Suggs would be a great addition

    Damn, I was so nervous, when the Raptors & Cavs got into the top 4, I was worried OKC was getting our pick. Now #2 is sweet, Mobley, Suggs, Green, idk, but hopefully whoever it is pans out.

    You do know the Rockets only had a 14% chance of landing the 1st pick right? Thats why it's called a lottery.

    I'm looking for Jalen Suggs tbh. That's my pick.

    Agreed, I don't care who it is now, would have loved Cade, but any of those 3 would be great, one of them with Wood, and a developed KPJ would be AWESOME. Plus Jae'Sean Tate.

    I’ll admit I didn’t follow college hoops at all this year, so no idea what to think of the top 4 guys. Just based on our makeup I’d love a guard to pair with KPJ and CWood, but Mobley gives you versatility to flip CWood to a win now team like Toronto or GSW (not sure what his stock would be given injuries this year).

    No kidding. I swear that trade still haunts my dreams, like 2 years later lol

    Today is a solid victory at least.

    Same here, all I watched was some of the NCAA Tourney, saw the Suggs shot to win the game vs UCLA, kinda want Suggs, but Green or Mobley would be fine.

    Agreed. C. Wood doesn't really play super well into our long-term future, more of a short to medium term play. I'm sure there will be lots of teams that could use a solid center on a great bargain contract. Let's keep stockpiling assets to make a run once LeBron, Durant, Steph, Kawhi etc. are near the end of their careers.

    Anyone here watch it live describe what it was like? Like basically sweating every single pick until once #5 is revealed, it's not the Rockets, we know we're in the Top 4 lol

    So is this right, we own 3 1's? 2nd, 23rd & 24th? Wonder if we keep all 3, idk how deep the draft is, they said it was on ESPN, but idk, I stopped watching draft coverage for NFL Draft, but ESPN is the only one with the NBA, but haven't watched in years due to them always trading their 1st away. This year, my eyes will be glued to the TV to see who we get to go with Wood, KPJ, and Tate.
