    3rd and 44 for Caruso and the 11th pick. Salaun is too inexperienced, who else should Houston target at 11?

    Become mentally quicker and learn how to hold an intelligent basketball conversation if you don't want people calling you out for those shortcomings.

    Or just keep thinking raw scoring numbers is the sign of an amazing basketball player so people will continue laughing at you.

    The choice is yours my friend.

    Different time, different trades, time is over when you shipped a superstar out for draft picks....

    He is now trading picks for a potential star player.........the reverse.

    I like Devin Carter (@coachbadlee ) pointed him out.

    I have him as a Jrue Holiday type. Around 6'3" with 6'8" wingspan. Defensive gem. Can shoot
    3's. Does all the dirty work. Got around 8 rebounds per game (@ 6'3").

    He he my Jiame Jauquez or Jalen Williams
    of this draft.

    Honorable mention: Kel'el Ware or Zach Edey

    Carter is a good player. He doesn't seem like a true PG like Jrue to me. I'm sure you have seen him more than me though.

    Brother when you said Jalen Green and Cade were not even top 10 in their draft class you instantly became a fake news channel.

    The trade for Sengun wasn't bad either.

    I can make a case for Cade maybe being 8th or 9th.... but I mean when it comes to Jalen you have

    Kuminga
    Suggs
    Wagner
    Johnson
    Murphy III
    Mobley
    Sengun
    Barnes
    Jones

    Hell eeven Josh Giddey has been better than Jalen.

    I disagree with a lot of that list but props to actually compiling a list publicly.

    We traded a superstar at his prime but we didn't get any promising young player.

    I don't think it's a good trade.

    I don't see Jrue as a true point guard.

    I feel like today's NBA is ball movement and passing from one side of the court to the other.....
    force the defense to rotate and move.

    One guy holding the ball as a point guard ending up with 10 assists is nice, but when everyone touches
    the ball, and everyone passes, all the players get around 5 assists. Before you know it the team without
    a true point guard has more team assists. 28 assists vs 24 (team w/point guard)

    NBA is asking everyone to be a point ______

    [ Point Guard
    Point Shooting Guard
    Point Small Forward
    Point Power Forward
    Point Center ]

    Everybody is asked to rebound, shoot, steal, block shots, cut, slash, screen, defend

    VanVleet can't stop the elite guards, he lets them do drive by's and then he reaches around
    to punch the ball away. I'm sick of those cats posting 40 points on us.
