What is your fav mock trade for tonight? Not a prediction, but one with reasonable balance. And not silly. My personal fav mock is #3/Jae/Jock - #5/IStewart Yours?
I'm predicting the Rockets trade down with OKC for 12 and two future 1sts. Not the highest upside ones the mediocre ones. OKC taking Sheppard or Clingan. Rockets take one of the guys who drop. Maybe Topic, Carter, Holland, that ilk.
Tonight's draft game: Do a shot everytime someone says, "...but will it translate to the pros?" My prediction: Stone holds a post-draft presser tomorrow in which he says a whole lot of nada.
With this weak draft, you just know the Rockets will eventually sign many of these 1st rounders in the coming years.
As each draftee walks across the stage, Adam Silver should hand him a map of H-Town and some singles for the strip clubs.
Agreed, got his full scouting report here. I didn't watch his full games though, it might change my bias and tunnel vision
I like the one sitting near the top of Bleacher Report (Houston Rockets) Houston in: Paul George / Zubac x Clippers in: VanVleet / Steven Adams / 3rd pick 1st Round Turnaround and trade Zubac and expiring contract to a Eastern Conference contender
I'm actually on the east coast where it's already 7:30pm and the draft started 30 minutes ago. It's been crazay so far. Y'all are in for a wild ride.
Psh! Try being in Australia, we're already into the 2nd day and 2nd round picks! Some wild trades happen - I won't spoil them though.
