    I like it and if we are actually trying to win, Brook could play backup center. Not sure Bucks would do it though. When healthy Lopez is pretty important in their rotation.

    Kinda hard to mess up when you are drafting at 3. Warriors should have taken Lamelo Ball though, so Jordan get a bit lucky too. It was a 3 player draft with Ant and Wiseman.

    Fair points on ball handling and vision, but that's what coaching is for...

    They have elite vision at the 5, so maybe in the aggregate the offense is ok while he works on it?

    Sure, its anticlimactic .... The expectation from the get go was that the guys acquired from the Mav's would be cut, outside of maybe Boban.

    But in the mean time if a deal had fell in their laps, they'd have had those contracts to wheel and deal ....

    Really no reason not to keep them on the roster until you need the roster spot for someone else Or cutting down to 15.

    Meh


    Would rather find a way to move EGo for Myles Turner. More valuable than another late FRP.


    Acquiring Turner would be hedge in case we are not in position to get this guy.

    In a heartbeat. Gordon gets a chance to compete. We get another 1st in 23 to possibly help move up if needed.

    Wow. Juck the Fazz..

    OKC is clearly overdoing it as they want another 3 Allstars maybe.

    "If not for the infamous trade that sent Chris Paul and multiple draft assets to Oklahoma City for Westbrook, Houston would be in the top three in draft equity."

    everybody thank, James for 'knowing what needs to happen...'...smdh...
    yeh, i said it! True, Frittata was the one that pulled the trigger - but he made the unfortunate mistake of trying to placate a narcissist...

    Then move up.

    Rockets have an arsenal of picks and young talent.
