    Nobody, we should trade it our roster is out of balance, and we need to get better by flipping some of the guys on the team now.

    If we stay the course we will never win a thing with this roster......ever.....

    Honestly at this point just take a risk and draft Carter Bryant. It’s a toss up at 10th, might as well go for upside. But Stone is a mock draft merchant.

    I rather trade the pick tho

    Respectfully disagree. I think we have a very balanced roster that's being crowded by some vets (cough Fred, cough Brooks).

    I'm a bit delulu but I think Kasparas fills a lot of what we're missing: Playmaking and floor spacing.



    Would love to see a lineup of:

    Reed
    Kasparas
    Amen
    Jabari
    Sengun

    the high IQ passing with Reed/Sengun/Amen/Kasparas would be really fun to watch.

    There's no point in drafting more players for Ime to not play.

    Just trade it for a mediocre to terrible vet, that's what Ime likes.

    Never seen him before but I would almost take my chances on Kasparas over Reed from this video lol. Nothing I love more than a player that can take it to the basket. I wouldn't feel to bad with this guy

    his driving ability reminds me a lot of Harden, albeit much less explosive. but similar deceleration and craftiness to find angles.

    Trade out
    Kon
    CMB
    Trade down
    Khaman

    in that order
    Kon and Khaman most likely would be gone at 10

    If trade down, consider T. Sorber or R. Fleming

    Think CMB is underrated here. He has exactly the same physical profile as Draymond and plays like one.

    More picks this year is the last thing we need. We barely have playing time for who we have. Either trade for 2029 unprotected firsts or euro stash guy

    don't know that I would like that. Just more players that won't play because FVV and Brooks are going 47 minutes a game

    I’d say draft best available shooter but Ime already doesn’t play out best shooters (Bari, Reed) enough minutes.

    Trade. Wizards and Rockets with a blockbuster deal. They trade their 6th for Cam and the 10th. Wizards pair up their Frenchie with another Frenchie in Essengue. Rockets draft Kon and open up space in Ime's luxury outhouse.

    Yep. I'm guessing it will be for future picks as I don't a big trade happens draft night.

    It would be really nice to have 7 tradeable FRPs this offseason.

    With the amount of Young Players the Rockets have and Draft Picks. Why not trade up to Hornets, Wizards.

    If there is a Star Player why not trade up. Hopefully trade the 10th Pick and Future Picks and players.

    I don’t think it will be for picks in the trade. I think he will sell it for future picks
