    Read this slowly

    You clearly are randomly picking and choosing when a pick should be described by the original team or the acquired team. Just admit you got it wrong and move on with life. This ridiculous effort to stick by nonsense is silly.

    A Banchero / Wembanyama frontcourt would be fire. Worth an extra year of tanking.

    lmao at wrong. Says the guy who doesn't understand who owns the actually pick. gtfoh. no wonder you have no damn clue what you're talking about

    what you just replied to isn't picking and choosing. it;s actually what happened. classic cf's and their idiotic posts

    If the rockets are meh on Paolo I would imagine we’d take Ivey at 3. If we thought Murray was right there with Paolo and Ivey, maybe then we’d be willing to move back a couple spots, but I’m pretty confident we’ll either move up or stay at 3. Stone is the kind of GM who wants his guy; I don’t think they get too cute with the #3 pick.

    We are done here. You are as wrong as wrong can be but won't admit it.

    the only person wrong is the guy who doesn't understand who owns an actual pick. clearly that's you

    be gone. that was one of the worst back and forth's on such a simple topic with someone so clueless

    the rep ratings seem to be pretty accurate these days. I should probably take that into account more these days. unfortunately cf's has reached that point as of late

    Says the guy who wouldn't answer who owned the 2018 Lakers pick because he knew it would blow up his entire ridiculous position.

    i mean it clearly says who owns it in the post, posted several times now. But someone so clueless doesn;t see that. lmfao. looks like you didn't read it slow enough

    Philadelphia is also sending the 2018 first-round ‎pick it owns via the Los Angeles Lakers

    LOL must be too many words

    I guess I must have gotten confused when you referred to it as the Lakers pick when you first brought it up. I know YOLO would never refer to a pick owned by another team as the original teams pick. Not after how incredibly confused you were when I said Sacramento's pick.

    Nah that's just you not understanding who actually owns the pick and trying to backpeddle when you clearly didn't know the full details of the actual deal

    You right. I originally thought Philly traded Sacramento's pick that Philly didn't own because that's totally a thing NBA teams can do. I think the Rockets are looking into trading a Sacramento pick that they don't own this year too.

    Yeah just like the rockets own that lakers pick you asked about earlier. It was crucial to get harden. Totally a thing

    Precisely!!

    3nD guys are the key to ANY NBA team. The thing in this draft is that there is an elite one who will go top 2. Oh well - we won't get him.

    I'm quite ok with Banchero, who has a super high ceiling, but also a chance of not working. Trading up to get Chet or Smith is risky. Pass and find 3nD guys!

    I don't like Ivey just so because Rockets got Green already. But who knows, small ball thrive. I'm not high on Banchero. He's not the missing link. I hope it's Jabari.
