    Great idea

    I'll just throw out one so I don't just consolidate all the topics into one post:
    • How confident are you that Sengun and Banchero fit together as starters on a championship level team during or before their second NBA contract is over?

    How do planes fly? I still don't really get it. I can understand a helicopter, but a plane? I'm confused.

    Also, what would be the most effective way to convince KPJ that we don't need him as a PG? I feel like he wouldn't take that well no matter how we approached it.

    A year from now when all of the big contracts are off the books, who are some free agents you think the team should be targeting with all that cap space? What's the dream scenario for that offseason look like versus a more realistic offseason?

    Good to see newer outlets and platforms come back to the MECCA of Rocket basketball talk for input!

    (just ignore our dysfunctional bickering we really do love each other :D)

    Question: Does Banchero slimming down allow him to be the full time 3 for this team and if so how does that alter the roster construct?

    Thoughts on best archetype to build a team. (ex: free agents vs homegrown). Where do Rockets stand amongst the other teams?

    How tall is Jalen Green really?

    To be finals contender do you need top 10 offense and top 10 defense?

    How long is too long for a rebuild?

    How do you think Rafael Stone should continue to build around Josh Christopher? Which of the top 3 picks do you think will mesh best with Christopher?

    When will the Rockets redistribute the money that Kelvin Cato stole from us?

    C'mon, I could really use the money. These gas prices are killing me!

    1. Which non-lotto projected player do you think will be the hidden gem/draft steal in this class?
    2. Are the Rockets done tanking, or are we going to tank one more year for a chance at Victor Wembanyama?
    3. Who is on your list of the most jacked NBA lineup of all time?

    Really enjoyed your last podcast. Looking forward to the next one. Just a suggestion, but I’d love for you to explore how we can turn the assistant coaching into a big asset for the organization.

    1. Would you trade down from #3 to get an unprotected pick next year from a team like Sacramento?
    2. If you could change anything about the Rockets online community, what would it be? (for me, it would be to stop all the whining on Twitter about unfair media coverage)

    The latest ESPN(+) mock draft has the Bulls taking Tari Eason at 18. @Clutch recently started a thread featuring the thoughts of Jonathan Givony and Bobby Marks about the draft and related rumors. The pair likely had a lot to do with creating this mock draft. Do you think they are deliberately teasing Clutch and the board by making Eason, one of the draft 3&D favorites here, available at 17? Are they mocking ClutchFans??

    If Eason is available at 17, I'll eat my new ClutchFans hat (when it arrives). Well, if it's eatable. As a follow-up to that, do you have a favorite ClutchFans t-shirt, OP? Inquiring minds want to know.

    Is there a chance the Rockets move Wall plus assets for Kyrie, and how far would this set back the rebuild? Would this lead to the playoffs next season?

    1.) Would you trade the pick for SGA?
    2.) We have all this cap space to spend next offseason, who specifically are you willing to overpay to get here?
