Rockets stonewalled: no individual workout w/ Mobley nor Suggs

Didn't expect a tweet of mine to end up on one of your posts.

I notice people questioning it on here.

It's a bit tongue in cheek.

The article is completely full of **** and is essentially a mock draft. It was like a negative news dump about stuff that really doesn't reflect poorly on the organization but the article acts as if it's damning.

 

What about 5, 8, and WCJ? If you think Green is a superstar, then obviously you don’t do it. But if you’re high on Booknight or similar, maybe it’s a deal you seek out.

I personally would just stick with Green, but I do think out of everybody that can trade to 2, the Magic are the most interesting.

 

It's simple man, the 2 Jalen's, Mobley and Cade don't even need to touch a basketball to get drafted top 5 and their agents know it. If you were a top 5 Dr, Lawyer, Accountant or whatever you don't do interviews because you are recruited. Players that do tons of workouts are trying to improve their stock.

 

No offense, but there is nothing like a 25 LIKED tweet taken as Gospel to set up a Monday on the last week of draft insanity. LOL I love ClutchFans!

 

And the 2 Jalens DO need to workout - is that the point? I find it somewhat conceited - especially in a draft with no separation. If Jalen Green goes to Toyota Center and blows the doors off the gym what happens? Stone picks Mobley on no workout and based of ClutchFans and Twitter reviews?

I'd guess if you are top 5 in any field you wouldnt have a hard time getting a job, but that usually comes with EXPERIENCE that employers can count on. Young punks acting like they got it down and know "what they're worth" is off-putting to me. Just a personal distaste, not trying to change any minds.

 

Mobley didn’t work out with Detroit?? That’s definitely Tillman’s fault

 

And get both the names of Stone and Wall out there.

 

It’s definitely not. People are so whiny on here.

This is not that crazy, Rockets have just not had a lottery pick in forever and are panicking just for fun more

 

Here's how its done. Read the full thing its f'ing awesome.

And if Green was asked by Houston to workout and he declines I'll be put off by him as well. Every day that passes im more and more firmly entrenched in the "Trade Down/Tankers" club.

 

Why Woj and everybody saying Mobley would be #1 pick in any other draft yet keep suggesting we don't hesitate to take Green? Why wouldn't we want Mobley for the same reasons Cavs do? Such bull.

That confidence has been bolstered by the fact that Green is the only projected top pick expected to work out for the Rockets at this point in time. League sources have indicated there is a level of disinterest within Evan Mobley’s camp regarding Houston as a destination, raising questions as to whether that potential marriage would be ideal for either side. Rival teams do not expect Mobley, Jalen Suggs, or Cade Cunningham to work out for Houston before draft night.

 

Right?! Jeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee-zus he'p me.

 

And also: We already have C-Wood, maybe Olynyk. Whither Mobley?

AND, if Toronto "we-don't-suck" Raptors say we need you to replace Lowry and keep the party going as opposed to Houston "we-hope-we-don't-suck-much-longer" Rockets are your suitors........unless you love the clubs, humidity, and floods, well....(I personally don't like cold winters, five days in February notwithstanding, thanks Greg Abbott, but, you know...)

 

Stone is doing a good job. He’s got rival GMs doing guess work and asking reporters for intel.
