    Accelerate for what? A first round exit at best? It'll be hard to win in the West for a few years.

    The Rockets need to take it slow and get two or three all stars with all NBA potential in the upcoming drafts.

    Any chance the Raptors take 23, 24 and Wood for #4?
    Then the Rockets build with KPJ, Mobley and Green.

    Every team says that.

    He’s just keeping his options open

    #2 + Wall for #15 + Westbrook

    He tries hard, is a family man, shows up to practice on time and he might not make very many of them but damnit he loves mid range jumpers and we need a little more of that.

    His triple doubles might not win us games, but he will win our hearts with his hustle.

    If we just do our homework we don’t need the #2 pick to draft a superstar, we can get one at 15 just as easy.

    I don’t like Woj anymore and I have no faith in our front office. We need to build through the draft: Young, Giannis, Booker.

    If they trade this pick for a vet that will be the last straw for me.

    but tonight I’m ecstatic

    you never trade your #2 pick there is no superstar that is worth that pick im sorry no team is going to give you a star player for your #2 that means no Luka no Zion for there franchise player that is not going to happen i would not be open to trading that #2 pick to much fish on the line for that

    They tanked for #1, yeah....that said...they would be stupid to trade #2.

    If anything they take Green with #2, they offer Wood, Wall with 23, 24 to move up for a second pick in the top 5.

    OR...just stay put and take a good potential role player and a euro flyer-type (Garuba) in round 1 to go with Green.

    If they take Mobley, they are definitely trying to package Wood and/or Wall for something...I’m assuming more picks for ‘22.

    Yes

    But you've gotta tell me who they're trading for.

    Really any of our picks. They can do some real damage if done right. All three players could be big parts of a quick rebuild. If done right.

    We might trade the pick! We're trying to get a superstar, get those season tix orders in!

    Meh ok thx yeah no good value, we tanking again. But we took a shot! Make sure to visit the Rockets shop on your way out.
