    I don't see Portland doing that, for them it's better to take two cracks at the apple than one.

    Nay, the 14 is too late in this draft. Only one I might do is 4&8 for 3 with the Spurs.

    It would take more value coming back than that. It's early, but someone is really going to pay for three. Guys could slip, and there are young and extremely desirable targets available there now. Aren't we fortunate? :)

    I'd like to see us get a veteran stud, along with a pick in that 10-12 range. It's entirely possible that whomever we pick in there could be a top 3-5 player in this draft. That's the kind of deal I could see Stone/Witus making, with us smelling like a rose.

    No. Not enough coming back. If I knew I could come away with Reed AND Ware I would but who knows.

    Don't think #3 carries that kind of value unless Sarr falls there. I like Portland as a trade partner though as I think Sheppard would be there at 7. i think 3 for Rayan Rupert, 7 & 34 makes sense all around.

    Very sure on the Ware. Not so much on Reed.

    We already have to find reg playing time for Eason, whitmore and amen. The last thing we need to do is add 2 more rookies.

    Sure.....but in division....unlikely unless Spurs are totally sold on a player.......in that case.....if we agree......They Are Ours.......Then we're keeping the pick.......
    If not though?....doubt they deal with us.......
    Deal with Portland........

    too many people obsessed with quantity over quality…

    This would be a dream scenario. The question would be who else (3-6) would draft Reed? Surely not Portland. Not the Spurs. Not Detroit. Not the Hornets. I think that's why quite a few mocks have him available in the 8-10 range. If there is any year to entertain trading back it's this one. And in this scenario we fill 2 of our biggest needs. Neither would likely ever start but they could go a long way in solidifying our bench for years to come.

    Are you 100 percent convinced in this draft that 3 is better than 7 and 14

    I don't see either team doing it though

    Rockets don't need two more youngsters

    And Portland needs to take 2 chances in the lotto

    They could learn in the g league initially. This would be a move for the future not next year.
