    Perennially bad teams tend to make bad decisions.

    The athletic is reputable, but the 'sources' could be different NBA GMs playing mind games.

    Honestly I think green is easily the 2nd best talent in the draft. Houston is in a great position drafting #2

    Yep. Either Cade or Green will greatly shorten the rebuild.

    We should do our due diligence and ask about getting the #1. I feel like Cunningham, a large wing who can run the point, score, and defend, is more of a foundational piece than Green.

    What could the Rockets offer to move up?

    It’s tough since the Rockets are only moving up 1 spot and I’m guessing they would be completely happy with either Cade or Green. I don’t know how much the Rockets would be willing to send in addition; Tate or KMJ? 23/24 (not both)? Bucks pick?

    As long as reality does not apply, keep #2, trade Wood back to Detroit along with Gordon and some picks for #1.
