    I just got confirmation from my well connected high stakes gambling friend, an Australian syndicate with deep pockets think it's Paolo and they are hammering all the betting sites. No word on if it's based on new info or inside info

    I think Orlando drafts Paolo for Houston because maybe they got info that OKC was picking Paolo

    Chet is OKCs 2nd target

    Then Houston trades #3 & #17, KJ Martin etc to Orlando and drafts Smith

    Some scenario like that

    Paolo never worked out for orl, jabari never worked out for Hou. The only explanation to these line movements...Houston traded up to #1...

    If this is the case, hopefully Houston doesn’t give up too much. Also, will be interesting to see how far Chet falls as well if this is the case…Will be the second year in a row someone from Gonzaga falls…

    Yeah I bet we traded to #1 to get “our guy”. They said they were gonna be aggressive. Can’t say I’m excited if that’s what happened.

    BS. Orlando’s taking Smith. Or Houston’s trading up to #1 then. Banchero didn’t even work out for the Magic. No way they take a guy who refused to work out for them and wouldn’t even meet with them. Smokescreen or a trade up by the Rockets.

    I don't mind trading up, but you better be right if you're giving up a lot. Paolo better be a perennial all-star if you are trading up either that or you gave up nothing to do it.

    Knowing Stone and Tillman its probably the latter.

    That and/or Holmgren's medical records are THAT bad.

    I also can totally see Tillman demanding we have the "number one pick" for ticket sales

    Yeah “IF” we did trade up I believe Stone didn’t give up anything of real value.

    Stone and the rockets are dealing from a position of strength believe it or not.

    Rockets can easily say we are good at 3 and take whoever falls or if want to trade Orlando here’s the 3rd pick and fillers for us to draft #1 and y’all can still get Jabari.

    In Stone we trust.

    People shouldn't use Vegas odds to judge the chances. Vegas odds are moved by how people are betting. If more people are betting on something, its odds go down, not because it is more likely to happen. The odds is a reflection on people's perception as much as, if not more than, the real probabilities of something happening.

    If you trade up to get Paolo, it's not just how good he will be but also how good the other who is picked at #3 will be. If Paolo is a perennial all-star but the other guy is a perennial MVP candidate, then you will still look stupid.

    For example, if you traded up to #1 to pick a Melo and the #3 pick was a LeBron, people would talk about it for years.
