    Met could mean an interview. I know Tilman sucks, but Green kept his promise for working out with Houston. You said , we will see if he shows up. I’m 99 percent sure Cade will go number 1, I want him to drop to number 2.

    That’s all fine and dandy, but I’m sure a face-to-face between he and the top 4 teams would help clear the path for any answers left as to who they’d want at #2 (Rockets) or even #4 (Raptors). Especially if he’s already spoken so highly of each organization.

    Are the Rockets considering Turkish center ?

    How is it John can work in the front office for other teams while playing on the court for us?

    You know who hasn’t stonewalled us for a workout? 19 year old Alex Antentokounmpo.

    SI is reporting that Mobley doesn't want to be a Rocket. I'll take that with a pinch of salt, but it could be true.

    Interesting. He is 19, not 29.

    I know the 50/11 performance. That's just one game. I'm not saying he doesn't have great potential. He does. But this is way too early to crown him as our future cornerstone, especially in light of his emotional issues.

    Maybe we'll have a better picture after one more season. At this point, I wouldn't even consider KPJ as part of the future core. I'd see him as a pleasant bonus if he works out. BTW, I wish we didn't have Wall getting in the way of the kid's development.

    Typo. Thanks. Yeah he’d have ZERO buzz if he was 29. Still very raw, but the measurables and bloodline look good.

    Damn Kawhi's wingspan is the same as Giannis! Wonder if their standing reach is the same.

    UDFA signing?

    Bucks will probably draft him in 2nd just to appease Giannis.

    I'd sign him to a 2 way.

    Depends on all options available of course.

    But intriguing.

    You mean SI is reporting that Mobley's camp doesn't want him to be a Rocket.

    Evan Mobley said otherwise.

    Seems like maybe being so close to the draft might be a problem. Like why didn't we have a workout a month ago? I wouldn't want to get hurt in a seemingly needless pre-draft workout 2 days before the draft either.

    Cade said only 1 workout. Mobleys Daddy said his son could not come out to play and Suggs agent was jealous his guy wasn’t getting enough Suggs at 2 mentions.

    Green was the only one who answered the call.

    Do we know how many other teams the consensus top 4 worked out for? I would only blame the Rockets if it appeared they were working out for all of the other teams around us, which it doesn't appear they are. This appears more like agent-led nonsense.

    Cade only worked out for DET. I thought Mobleys only workout was at CLE and he interviewed with DET but no confirmation of a pro workout. Suggs worked out only for DET also - guess he thinks he should be the #1 too.

    I get why Cade won’t do more than 1 - he can’t risk a bad workout. That’s millions. The other guys should have worked out for the top 4 teams. The ones who resisted must not want to be here otherwise what did they have to lose? Houston requested workouts with both Mobley and Suggs and they declined. Bye Felicia.

    Didn’t bother Green to workout 3 days before the draft. He loves putting on a show.
