    Stone needs to go hard on Giannis now. Needs to sell the bucks that Jalen has greater talent than whoever is drafted after Cooper Flagg. If Giannis is paired with Wemby thats the end of our playoff hopes. Playing against a combination of Fox, Wemby, Giannis would be a nightmare.

    Not to mention the Mavs just got Cooper to pair with AD and Kyrie. Stone didn't do anything at the deadline and practically punted on this season. There is no excuse if we do nothing in the offseason to fix our weaknesses.

    “We’re excited to run it back with Fred & Jalen. 1 bad year from Fred and 4 mediocre years from Jalen, that doesn’t define them or what they’ll be next year. And so yeah, we’re really excited to watch them next year.”

    There should be no complaints from Clutchfans at all. The league gas been "hooking us up" for like the past 4 seasons. With picks and a coach.

    I’m just gonna resign myself to trading this pick. The premium guys will be gone by #10 and there’s not much difference between #10-#20 in this draft.

    I’d be calling teams in the 5-7 range to see if they want to make a deal for Jalen. I like the idea of adding a premium rookie every year if we can, but you actually have to churn through talent, which Stone isn’t good at.

    Does anyone still question if this league isn't rigged to some extent. lol

    Not that I'm upset with number 10. I mean the Mavs trade Luka and magically get #1.

    Still another guard. We don't need one. Trade the pick.

    Or maybe Toronto would like to swap to add a player like Cam.

    We have all those type of players on the team.

    If I was going to use the pick, I would go after Maluach or Queen to help Alpi inside. But we should just trade it and get some muscle down in the paint (can't rely on Steven Adams for 30+ min per game) or find another scorer when Jalen ***** the bed.

    #10 in THIS draft? That pick and a dollar will get you a pack of gum.

    This draft literally went almost as bad as possible for the Rockets. It would only be worse if SA got Flagg…. But honestly SA with Fox and Harper is better than current Rockets set up.

    Only think that would have been worse is Hakeem crapping himself on television.

    Trade it to the Suns for a future unprotected pick.

    They can either package Castle for Giannis or the next guy that is available.....let's say Adebayo, Jaylen Brown.....

    Well, I'm not sure we don't need one (lol), but I agree with trading the pick. Just not sure for what.

    They don’t even need to trade for someone… they have Wemby, Castle, Harper, Sochan, Fox, Vassel, Johnson and cap space.

    They are set- and have lots of assets.
