    I put in my 2 cents here. I think with all this Feigen talk about the Rox drafting the best player talk even if it a wing is all Smoke screen imo.

    "The Rockets absolutely will ignore the perceive needs to choose the guy that comes out in front of their evaluations. Daryl Morey strongly believes that teams should, with few exceptions, evaluate the player without regard to how he will fit the roster at the time."

    It seems odd Gersson Rosas would come out and say this within a few days before the draft. IMO, they are doing this to get the Bucks at 15 or the T'Wolves at 16 to swap picks and get extra "assets." cause those teams are rumored to go after a wing player at those spots. Then the Rox would draft a big in Patterson or Whiteside.

    I like trading with Sac for the 5 pick to get Cousins. That trade would probably involve Bud though. :(

    Morey trades down and gets two picks either late in the first round or early in the second.
