Mike Scotto: Rockets will shop the No. 3 overall pick ahead of the draft in hopes of landing a star

It is really sad you need this much attention.

You already lost. You didn't even know the meaning of Slander.
Slandering Players for your attention is very pathetic and low class. You Lost, what don't you understand.

 

Dang. You still arguing with Bobby? Dude is the T1000 of trolls. He will never stop.

 

Kid, I know you're super slow, but we moved on a long time ago.

Feel free to keep crying about things you don't quite understand... but it would be best if you didn't derp up the thread with it, so maybe cry it out offline.

 

I Don't know if your high on Drugs or under the influence. You really need to check into rehab for your own sake.

I gave you the definition of slander, you won't accept accountability that you are slandering Rockets players. You Lost the Argument.

 

It's not "slander" when it's true...

That said, my slow friend, we've moved on... even if it'll take you a few days to realize it.

 

Penny for your thoughts.....do you have someone in mind to target?

 

No, I don't. That's why I'm asking you and other posters, what should the Rockets do in this potential scenario?

I do like Caruso quite a bit.

 

It's almost like all of the leaks the last year have been a concerted PR campaign by the Nets and East Coast writers to pump up Bridges' perceived value? But let's continue to believe Stone is a moron who needs other teams to save him from himself.

 

I now fully expect the Rockets to trade the pick if Kelly Iko is saying this

 

The Rockets could trade the pick
The Rockets could trade the pick, but only for a star
The Rockets will listen to offers
The Rockets could trade back
The Rockets are not trading the pick

Just make sure to cover all our bases.

 

If you don't believe it is not Slander, I believe you are a Narcissist that has horrible judgement.
Calling yourself BobbytheGreat is a Narcissist. Don't worry rehab can maybe save you.

 

Apologies, I somehow missed the Caruso part
of the equation.

You know I like Caruso, but the Bulls act like he
is a top 10 player in the league. They have asked
for way too much in the past.

But for the sake of argument or debate:
Bringing in Caruso nullifies the need to draft
Devin Carter.

I'll say Kel'el Ware. I feel Kel'el Ware is
every bit as good as Dereck Lively who went 10th
last year. In the finals this year as a rookie.

This is a much weaker draft and Ware is completely underrated.

Some feel the trade for Steven Adams was to
increase team salary last year to get over the minimum threshold. Some wonder if his injury
will be a slow return.

So drafting Ware allows the Rockets trade one of
Steven Adams or Jock Landale. I would go
with keeping the younger cheaper of the two,
Landale. Trade Adams.

Our Centers would be:
Sengun....Landale / Kel'el Ware /Jabari

Some day they will do a Re-Draft of this class.
I would not be surprised if Dalton Knecht is #1 or #2.
Devin Carter #4 or #5....Kel'el Ware #6 or #7.

 

A star player I would look into to see what it would take to get would be LaMelo Ball. While injuries have been an issue it's not the same situation as his brother where it seems to be a degenerative condition. LaMelo provides elite ball handling and passing along with very good 3 point shooting, scoring and rebounding.

If I were GM I would start with offering #3, Amen Thompson and Van Vleet and see if the Hornets want to build the team around Miller and give him Thompson as a complementary player, Van Vleet to run point and let them figure out a potential 3rd option with the 3rd and 6th picks. If needed I would add a additional pick or pick swap but wouldn't deplete our entire stockpile of assets after the Harden trade.

For the Rockets it gives them 3 potential young star players who are ready to hit their primes in Ball, Green and Sengun while surround them with great young complementary players like Smith, Eason and Whitmore and allows the team to make a playoff push starting in 24-25 while figuring out in real time what combination of the 6 players make the most sense to move forward with for the future.

 

Amen should be almost untouchable.

 

If you say everything you’ll always be right - 45

 

Are you still throwing a fit? Lol.

As I said, grown folk are talking, run along little one.

 

I mean - not really - anyone could be traded if we get a true star....ANYONE.

I remember that you have praised Caruso in the past, with good reason. Ware looks fluid and tall, but his motor seems to be low, unlike Lively 's and he's a bit weak as well. Nevertheless, he's quite an intriguing prospect.
